Russian airliners found a critical defect.

According to Kommersant, domestic air operators found a critical problem in Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 passenger planes - an aircraft operating under conditions of incomplete load exerts a load on the chassis in 2,03 units, instead of the maximum installed 2 units.

According to the Russian information publication, overloads within 1,5% of the maximum allowable occurred due to joints of plates at the Novy Urengoy airport, however, experts note that when the aircraft are fully loaded, exceeding the maximum allowable load can be up to 5-7%.

It is known that the corresponding problems were noticed by the Yamal air carrier, however, they are systematic and were fixed at least 7 times.

Moreover, it is noteworthy that during the check, no runway inconsistencies with the established standards were identified, which indicates a possible problem with the aircraft themselves.

It should be clarified that under similar circumstances there was a plane crash involving the passenger SSJ-100 and in the capital's airport, when, after several hits on the surface of the landing strip, the airplane's chassis broke and the latter caught fire.
