A look at the new Sukhoi superjet.
In December Russian aerospace firm Sukhoi plans to begin deliveries of its Superjet 100, its entry into the regional civil / commercial jet arena in the 75- to 95-seat category. Developed in collaboration with Finmeccanica of Italy subsidiary Alenia Aeronautica with optional interiors by famed Italian design firm Pininfarina, Sukhoi aims to deliver a stylish jet which at €19.5 million is also designed to undercut comparable models from rivals like Embraer and Bombardier.
