Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (SCAC) plans to develop a stretched version of the recently certified Superjet 100 designed to seat 130 passengers. The airplane is dubbed the Superjet 130NG, and Sukhoi estimates its development costs will total $1 billion. The company plans to launch the program by year-end and execute a new joint venture between Russian and Italian firms to develop the airplane.

Russia’s ministry for industry and trade has published its views on further development of advanced commercial aviation programs in its MPT Report 2011, in which the SSJ130NG gets its first mention by a government entity. The ministry says it is ready to provide non-refundable investments from Russia’s state budget into research and development work. The Russian government currently funds R&D work on a non-refundable basis, but only if the manufacturer involved raises 50 percent of the total required sum from commercial sources; the government then provides the remaining 50 percent.
