The Sukhoi Superjet 130 (Russian: Сухой Суперджет 130) also known as Superjet NG is a planned modern, fly-by-wire narrow-body medium-range jet airliner to be developed by Sukhoi and United Aircraft Corporation.[1] It is based on the Sukhoi Superjet 100, with a seating capacity of 130–145 seats, and is designed to bridge the gap between SuperJet Stretch and Irkut MC-21. The airplane will compete internationally with Bombardier CSeries, Airbus A319 and smaller models of Boeing 737NG.[2]

Development

In 2011 Russia’s ministry of industry and trade published its views for the development of an advanced commercial plane in its MPT Report in 2011. This was the beginning of the SSJ 130NG.[3]

The SSJ 130NG will have an aluminum fuselage[4] and use composite materials for its wings which includes the center section, elevator and rudder. Sukhoi believes that the new materials will weigh 15 to 20 percent less than it does on other commercial planes, increase the plane's service life by 20 to 30 percent, reduce the plane's operating costs by 10 to 12 percent, and reduce energy consumption during the plane's manufacturing by 10 to 15 percent.[3] Fuselage plugs will give the SSJ 130NG a greater length. The Superjet NG will derive Irkut MC-21’s composite wing and engines of the Pratt & Whitney PW1000G family.[1] Some SSJ 100 suppliers might be ousted from the SSJ 130NG.[5]

Its development has been re-confirmed in August 2012.[6] The financing of the Superjet NG project will be started in 2016. The first serial Superjet NG should be put into operation in 2020.[1]
