- TASS leads the message of the press service.
The UEC stressed that the corporation has begun mass production of the NK-32-02 engines. The engines are manufactured at the UEC-Kuznetsov enterprise under a state contract with the Ministry of Defense and Tupolev PJSC. In the coming years, this engine will become the main one in the range of products manufactured by the enterprise. A systematic increase in mass production is reported. In addition, the designers of UEC-Kuznetsov are working on the creation of a line of promising engines of the NK family based on the NK-32 gas generator of the 02 series.
The production of the Soviet turbojet engines NK-32 installed on the Tu-160 "White Swan" was stopped after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but later it was decided to resume their production, but in a modernized version (NK-32-02). The new engine of the second stage is 10% more economical than the base one, which on average gives an increase in the flight range of the modernized Tu-160 by a thousand kilometers.
