This piece is quite interesting, below is an exerpt, then the whole piece:
MP: All our current projects are running as part of the innovative solutions implementation project, and we cover a number of diverse areas. For
example, if we consider the Sukhoi Superjet 100 project, its aircraft control system is capable of warning the pilots of every possible emergency and
thus does not let the aircraft actually get into an emergency situation. It's essentially an active aviation safety system whose control system
capacities can make up for practically any pilot mistake. I think that this is a solid innovative solution developed through the joint efforts of the
Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute, Sukhoi, and our German partner Liebherr. Certifying this solution was also quite a challenging task, it was
carried out by experts of the Aviation Register of the Interstate Aviation Committee, as well as other certification centers, and these experts also
contributed to the final tuning of the system. Speaking of the innovations we are planning, I can mention the new all-composite wings we are
developing for this model and for all future modifications of the Sukhoi Superjet 100. I believe that the fact that we're developing the wings based
on infusion technologies as opposed to the technology used by Boeing and Airbus in their Boeing 787 and A350 means that we have our own approach which
is innovative. We certainly keep working on the avionics system which will have an open design, which will allow us to develop an all-purpose platform
that can be customized to the aircraft's tasks over its life-cycle, without affecting its key functions. I think this is also a step forward which
complies with the most advanced requirements of the industry. I could talk more about the projects we're working on, but the main thing is that we
make it our goal that all our projects comply with tomorrow's rather than today's level of market requirements.

Seems also, the company recently lost out in a big contract to South Korea for the Fighter Jet, in favour of the USA:
