U.E.C.- Russian aircraft engines

Never heard of 650V. Good to see.

And also its always best that if they want to increase production, open a new facility. Becomes easier to determine what is needed for equipment, creates new jobs, have a brand new facility of newest requirements, etc etc.

Good news.

The new tool production site with an area of ​​2.4 thousand square meters will produce tooling and tools intended for assembling parts and assemblies of a number of industrial engines, as well as aircraft power plants NK-32 series 02, NK-12MP, NK-25 and a new promising high-power Izdeliye.

Interesting... so they will continue to make the NK-25 for the Tu-22M3s, and the NK-32 for the Blackjacks, and the NK-12MP is for the Bears... I wonder if the new high power engine is for the PAK DA (some variant of the PD-35) or if it is for the PAK DP high speed interceptor?

Never heard of 650V. Good to see.

Replacement for French engines used in the Ka-226T and Ansat type helicopters... there is a VK-800V as well, which I think might be better for the Ka-226T at high altitudes...

Good to see these new engines going into serial production.... such small engines were a gap for Russia as most trainers and light helicopters were not made in the Soviet Union...

Flight tests of the PD-8 engine have begun

As reported on December 26, 2022, the Rostec State Corporation, which is part of the United Engine Corporation JSC (UEC), began flight tests of the PD-8 power plant designed for the SSJ NEW short-haul passenger liner and the Be-200 amphibious aircraft installed on the flying laboratory Il-76LL, owned by the LII named after M.M. Gromov JSC "United Aircraft Corporation" (UAC). The main operational data are recorded - speed, pressure, temperature, as well as additional parameters necessary to confirm the design decisions made and ensure the safety of the operation of the power plant.

On the part of bmpd, we point out that, judging by the published photographs, flight tests of a prototype of a promising bypass turbojet engine PD-8 have begun at the LII named after M.M. Gromov in Zhukovsky on an Il-76LL flying laboratory aircraft with registration number "76529". This aircraft (serial number 073410308, serial number 08-07) was originally built in 1977 for the Iraqi Air Force as a military transport aircraft Il-76 of the first modification, in 1989 it was returned to the USSR and converted into a flying laboratory Il-76LL4 (registration number first USSR-76529, then RA -76529) for testing new engines installed under the wing in place of one of the standard D-30KP engines. In 1989-1990, it was used to test the D-236T propfan engine, and in 1990-1994 - to test the D-27 propfan engine. After that, the board was stored in Zhukovsky for 20 years. After repair since November 2015, as an Il-76LL , it was used for flight tests of the PD-14 engine.

The creation of a promising PD-8 engine with a take-off thrust in the basic version of 7900 kg is being carried out by the UEC with the lead role of JSC UEC-Aviadvigatel (Perm). The PD-8 engine is being created for the new maximum "import-substituted" modification of the SSJ100 regional aircraft, called SSJ NEW. It is also possible to replace the engines of the D-436 family of Zaporozhye production with the PD-8 engine, in particular, on the Be-200 amphibious aircraft. In the future, based on the PD-8, it is possible to create a whole line of engines, including the powerful PD-8V helicopter engine.

Testing of the gas generator of the PD-8 engine began in 2021, and bench tests of the first prototype of the PD-8 engine began in early 2022. At the end of October 2022, Yury Shmotin, Deputy General Director - General Designer of the UEC , announced that bench tests of three PD-8 prototypes were already underway. Certification of the PD-8 engine by the Federal Air Transport Agency is very optimistically planned for 2023.

The IL-76LL is a very interesting plane that has been very valuable through the years for testing engines in flight... all the different engine types have been fun to look at...
