Superjet 100 to Complete Maiden Flight in May

PLANO, Texas and FARNBOROUGH, England, July 14 /PRNewswire/ — Siemens
PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division
and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM)
software and services, today announced that its Teamcenter(R) software
suite enabled the production of Russia’s first internationally-designed and
manufactured, paperless aircraft. Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company’s Superjet
100 (SSJ100), marked its maiden flight on May 19, 2008.

Russia’s new entry into the competitive and rapidly growing global
regional jet market involved an international team of international
partners and world-class aircraft systems suppliers throughout Western
Europe and the United States. The goal for SCAC was to bring all system
suppliers into a virtual enterprise on a global platform, implementing the
latest design and manufacturing technology. The end result is an aircraft
that consumes 10 percent less fuel than its nearest competitor, has a 10
percent lower overall cost of ownership and has the lowest price in its
class. The SSJ100 also offers unprecedented passenger comfort in the
regional jet category, with wider seats, wider aisles and larger storage
bins.

To create this industry-leading aircraft, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company
and its partners worked within a single master data warehouse enabled with
Teamcenter that included all 3D models and related data to completely
define and digitally mock up any aspect of the SSJ100. This warehouse, or
platform, enabled the company to create Russia’s first aircraft from a
paperless design process.

Siemens PLM Software’s Teamcenter software suite, the world’s most
widely-used PLM portfolio, was central to SCAC upgrade effort and was among
key factors in achieving first flight in a fast-paced development program
for the SSJ100 regional airliner.

Teamcenter helped coordinate the efforts of approximately 1,700
engineers and manufacturing specialists in more than eight locations with a
world-class team of partners across the globe.

“We set out with an aggressive plan and succeeded because of our
collaboration with partners and suppliers powered by Teamcenter,” said
Viktor Soubbotin, President, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company. “The
collaborative technology played a central role in bringing the SSJ100 into
the air faster and at lower cost.”

“Teamcenter gave SCAC a single synchronized knowledge platform for
designing and manufacturing,” said Paul Vogel, senior vice president and
managing director for Europe, Middle East & Africa, Siemens PLM Software.
“In large, geographically distributed projects, like SSJ100, everyone
should work with a single source of data to keep the control over all
design changes during production. Watching and working with Sukhoi over the
course of the design process has been inspiring. We, in a sense, provide
the paint brush and palette, but the designers at SCAC and their partners
around the world are the artists. And they truly have created a masterpiece
in their first global effort and they’ve done it in record time.”
