The preliminary cause of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 fire in Turkey is the design features of the aircraft: the landing gear could pierce the fuel tanks due to a hard landing. These are the first conclusions of the Interstate Aviation Committee.
According to a Mash source in the department, the incident repeats the tragedy of 2019 at Sheremetyevo Airport. Then, after landing, the plane “jumped” along the runway, the struts pierced the fuel tanks, and the fuel caught fire. 41 people died in the fire. According to IAC, the Superjet chassis is designed for an overload of 3.75 g – if more, then such a scenario is most likely.
Two days ago, due to bad weather, the same thing probably happened in Antalya. The pilot touched the plane too hard on the runway, the side jumped, the left landing gear strut punched a hole in the body (pictured), damaging the fuel tanks. The leaked kerosene caught fire even before stopping. Fortunately, firefighters were right on the GDP, who put out the fire and prevented it from spreading to the Superjet.
The MAK noted that the reason for the large number of victims in the Sheremetyevo tragedy was the crush in the passage. Many tried to get things, pushed and did not allow others to pass. This time, according to eyewitnesses, history repeated itself. And many people went down the inflatable slides in a fuss and bypassing the rules. Those responsible now face up to two years in prison.
