“With another prototype in the certification program, we will be able to deliver 75 flights monthly, which is a very good figure in the global practice of flight certification campaigns,” said Vladimir Prisyazhnyuk, president of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft. “Provided that engines are certificated and delivered in due time, we will acquire the type certificate in middle 2010”.
