The Sukhoi Superjet 100 (Russian: Сухой Суперджет 100, tr. Sukhoy Superdzhet 100) or SSJ100 is a regional jet designed by Russian aircraft company Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, a division of the United Aircraft Corporation (now: Regional Aircraft - Branch of the Irkut Corporation). With development starting in 2000, it made its maiden flight on 19 May 2008 and its first commercial flight on 21 April 2011 with Armavia. Sukhoi plans a russified version without Western components.

The Aurus has a range of more than 7,000 km (3,800 nm), Chemezov said. Cruise speed is 830 km/h (about 448 knots) and top speed is 950 km/h (513 knots). Maximum takeoff weight of the 98-foot-long aircraft, meanwhile, is 49,450 kg (109,000 pounds). Its cabin spans 20.48 meters (67 feet).

Anna Serejkina, executive director of the Russian Business Aviation Association, told AIN that since the SSJ has already been operated by Russian domestic airlines, she expects the Aurus to have easier market entrance as a Russian-made aircraft that does not need to be imported.
