The timing for certification of the aircraft engine VK-800С is specified
After a statement by the press service of the P. Baranov Central Institute of Aviation Engine Engineering (TsIAM) about the certification of the new Russian aircraft engine VK-800C in 2020, the network tried to evaluate the parameters of the power plant and the possibility of its serial production for various means aviation.
Recall that the mock-up commission with the participation of representatives of the CIAM certification center has already been passed.
We are talking about a gas turbine aircraft engine with a "take-off" power of about 800 HP. (hence the number in the nomenclature designation). It was developed by the Klimov company. It is planned to be used for both single-engine and twin-engine aircraft, including small aircraft. The needs of Russia for these aircraft, as well as regional aviation aircraft, from year to year is becoming increasingly high.
The manufacturer notes an important detail. The VK-800S modification engines are relied upon in terms of their possible use as power plants for heavy drones Altair. VK-800S is a turboprop engine modification that runs on aviation kerosene. The installation of such an engine on a domestic reconnaissance-strike (multi-purpose) UAV will make it possible to achieve full import substitution. So far, Altairs are being designed based on the installation of two RED A12 03-cylinder diesel engines from RED Aircraft GmbH. The engine is produced at a plant in Adenau (Germany), while localization is also being carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation - OKB im. M.P.Simonov in Kazan. In this regard, the question arises, how relevant will the production of German aircraft engines be after the start of the production of the same VK-800S?
VK-800С - universal aircraft power plant, which is planned to be used on L-410 aircraft. And moreover, exclusively on those L-410, which are produced at Russian industrial facilities - UZGA (Yekaterinburg).
In addition to the version of the engine for airplanes and UAVs, work is underway to create VK-800B. The letter "B" shows that this is a helicopter version. It is planned to use it on the Ansat and Ka-226 helicopters. VK-800В - turboshaft modification with the same weight and size characteristics as the other version of VK-800. The mass of the power plant is relatively small - 140 kg with a length of exactly 1 m.
In fact, the VK-800 engine began to be developed at the beginning of the 2000-x. Initially, certification was planned for VK-800В for 2016 year. But then the priority was shifted in favor of VK-800С, and the deadlines shifted.
