Production of SUKHOI Superjet 100



The Chkalov factory is one of the largest plane building enterprises in Russia, a part of the “Sukhoi” group of companies. Apart from the state defence order since 2004 the factory has been working on the project Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSj-100) together with Russian and foreign partners. It produces nose and rear sections of main bodies, horizontal and vertical tails.


In 2007 the factory began to introduce modern equipment for mechanical processing of Sukhoi Superjet 100 details.
Each component has its place…
...and its certificate...

After the processing this metal plate will turn into a panel of a liner.
The metal is put into the processing centre Handtmann.
Ready panel can be used for assembly.
Drilling-riveting press «Broetie» is used for riveting of large liner panels. It minimizes manual work of assemblers.

Despite the automation of many production processes, good assemblers are still in high demand.
