The issue of the country's technological viability: Russian aviation gas turbine engines

27

The issue of the country's technological viability is determined, among other things, by the ability to create various kinds of modern, economical and at the same time powerful engines. These are engines for civilian sea vessels and warships, for aviationincluding civil airliners and fighters.

Over the decades since the collapse of the USSR, Russia had to use exclusively Soviet groundwork in the field of aircraft engine building. The engines of Russian development were simply absent, and many employees of the industry did not even hope that the industry itself would perk up. And this, fortunately, is happening.



One of the signs that Russia has returned to the ranks of the largest countries in terms of the ability to create its own aircraft engines is the work on the PD-14. These are civilian turbofan engines with great prospects. Today these engines are used to equip the latest Russian MS-21 airliners. It is planned that the package of orders for these power plants for aviation facilities will only grow.

A new series dedicated to engines is being released in the Military Acceptance program at the Zvezda shopping center. At the same time, despite the name of the program, it is about civilian engines for aviation - about gas turbine power plants.

          Judging by the orthography with the Square you write? Think what you want, but if you brainwash then Soviet designers and engineers should now be 75-90 years old ... So if they took part in the latest developments / tests so in negligible numbers. The new generation naturally exists, but it is not advertised on every corner and liberal channels are not interested in them. Other "news" is interesting there.
          The video is excellent and the Military Acceptance keep it up!

            if you use your brains, then Soviet designers and engineers should now be 75-90

            It is quite possible to assume that this is so.

            And this is a private commercial office! So the problem with young professionals is real. And if you think about it, it cannot be otherwise. Brain drain is a common problem of countries with "developing economies" (why "developing", if it is not developing - I xs ...). And no calls and slogans can solve it.

              Why lie: "The staff of the company is about 80 graduates with extensive experience in their specialization - they are engineers, mechanics, technologists, electronics engineers, hydraulics, programmers, designers, as well as highly qualified repairmen and electricians. We managed to collect in one a team of both experienced engineers and to attract fresh forces - graduates of St. Petersburg technical universities: St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University (Polytech), Baltic State Technical University "Voenmech", St. Petersburg Institute of Mechanical Engineering (VTUZ), etc., cooperation with which it provides us with an influx of young specialists who are ready to realize themselves in the field of industrial engineering.The company is interested in the professional growth of employees, therefore it regularly organizes training in specialized courses.Many of our specialists have certificates of advanced training, both in Russia and abroad m.

                First-hand infa. We recently collaborated with them, one of the leaders said. There are young people, of course, but mostly "in the wings". But in the design, only old people sit. They sit well, do not complain, do not rush to leave. But if there were someone to replace, they would be replaced. Maybe he lied, of course, but why?

                NK-93 will not take off!
                Modern turbo-ventilators are practically equal to propeller-ventilators in terms of fuel efficiency, and in other parameters they have always exceeded them. So while the NK-93 is at war with noise, the turbo-fan will bypass it in terms of fuel efficiency and ... that's it ...

            Doesn't anything ring in your head? PD-14 grew out of the Soviet still PS-12 for the Yak-242 and it was made (PD-14 with MS-21) to cut the dough by soaking the Tu-204 SM to please Boeing.

        Judging by the hysteria and diarrhea of ​​our "partners", he is still quite good. If there are minor flaws in it, I think they will be eliminated in a short time. After all, the country solved one of the most important problems - it created and built up in a short time, and under colossal presing, sanctions and pressure, the most difficult part - a modern civil turbofan engine with a takeoff thrust from 9 to 18 tons. Only a few countries have such.
        After all, PD-14 will be followed by others. Moreover, in a very different version for different tasks and not necessarily in aviation. The workings alone so that the terms will be greatly reduced. This is what drives our overseas and European "partners" to hysteria.

      they were absent solely because in Russia the civil aircraft industry actually died. It was stupid in the West they bought their ready-made new aircraft and wrote off their old ones. The production of engines in any country comes to naught if the production of the equipment where these engines are used stops.

      The engines will be fine-tuned and the planes will fly. Our planes. The age of the pilots is a lot of experience and reliability, since they lived to be gray.
      I wonder why the low-wing design was chosen for the Il-114, and not like the An-24, 26? Or vysokoplana operation revealed some negative, in addition to high ladders and high main landing gear.

        An - 24 was actually made from the transport An-26, and there the low-wing plan is unrealistic, tk. They tend to lower the floor of the cargo compartment as low as possible, and there is simply no room for engines under the wing or the propeller. In addition, an air cushion is created under the wing of a low-wing aircraft during landing, allowing a slight decrease in landing speed. And you need to look at the relative position of the axes of thrust and the longitudinal axis of the aircraft - the closer they are, it is easier to compensate for balancing losses there. I suspect 114 has an advantage here.
