SSJ completes cold soak tests

Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Corporation has announced that the SuperJet 100 has completed cold soak trials in Yakutsk.

One of the test aircraft, MSN 95004, undertook a number of tests to ensure its ability to start in cold conditions. As such, the test aircraft was subjected to temperatures as low as -41 degrees Celcius while seven test flights were conducted. The aircraft has now returned to Zhukovsky and will resume certification type testing alongside the three other test aircraft.
