"ODK-Klimov" began production of prototypes of the VK-650V engine

50

The first prototypes of the Russian VK-650V helicopter engine for the Ka-226T will be manufactured by the end of this year, and work has already begun. This was reported on the website of the state corporation "Rostec".

According to the report, the demonstrator of the VK-650V engine being developed by UEC-Klimov has confirmed its characteristics, the next stage of work will be the production of prototypes. In total, by the end of the year, it is planned to create three prototypes of the VK-650V.



(...) the design results prove the competitiveness of the power plant being created. The next stage will be the production of prototypes of VK-650V and their testing (...)

- said in a statement.

It is noted that work on the engine will continue as part of a program that includes several projects at once. The developers intend to adapt the engine to other helicopters.

Earlier it was reported about the development of a gearbox for VK-650V. The first sample is already being tested as part of a demonstrator engine at the UEC-Klimov.

The development of a new VK-650V gas turbine turboshaft engine was announced in 2019. In July 2020, the Ufa Engine-Building Association ("UEC-UMPO") announced the start of production of the VK-650V demonstrator engine. The new engine has a takeoff power of 650 hp. with., as well as in various modes gives out from 400 to 750 liters. from. At the end of January this year, VK-650V entered the stage of bench tests.

The engine is designed for the Ka-226 helicopter and Ansat helicopters. Certification is due in 2023. On Ka-226T helicopters, the Russian VK-650V is to replace the French Arrius 2G1 engines.

        Yeah it goes well, on paper. RD-600 and RD-1500 twenty years ago, turned into VK-650 and VK-1600.Klimov has long been unable to produce anything ... this is a rolling log for cutting ...

        What's going on? Where is it going? When is it going?

        And what about PD-14? Has it really gone into production?
        And what kind of aircraft is it already installed on?
        And how many of these aircraft are produced?

        And what about PD-8? Really finished research work on it? And on the flying laboratory "ride"?
        When will they be certified, if we take it by analogy with PD-14, if we count it in years?
        And what kind of aircraft will it be installed on?
        And how many of these planes will be produced?

        Pills are needed not only for greed, but also for the mind.
        Even if the engines can quickly start "riveting" - they need airplanes. Each 2 engines - at least one aircraft.
        Our airlines have no need for airplanes? This means that the production of aircraft will be piece for the detachment of the President and the Ministry of Defense.
        No planes? No motors needed.
        Don't know about this?

        And you have more ...

        Buy 50 screwdrivers for your home. Dear ones. And let them lie.
        You need more ...

            I am not hysterical - but knowing the list of sanctions - unlike your guidebooks, I remember the sanctions list at the end of 2020.
            And here you all seem to have forgotten. how much news there was on this topic last fall.

            The MS-21 does not exist as a "contract" aircraft.
            2 experienced, fly on foreign composites.
            And with our wings - at best, the plane will appear in 22.

            But.
            Forgot the list of sanctions related to Irkut corporation?
            And there the entire list of "imported components" turned out.

            You know, but in MS-21 - according to projects - 60% of imports.
            60% !!!

            And all the hydraulics, all the electronics,

            So, to replace this, it will take another 5-7 years.

            So the sick ones are you.
            Your disease is a lack of knowledge, memory and unrestrained grunting.

          wipe the snot, otherwise you will sprinkle the entire monitor yourself. PD-14 is certified and is in production. I personally saw him with my own eyes. Irkutsk residents are now assembling the first serial MS-21. There is a production program for the aircraft.

            The program completely stopped due to the refusal to supply hydraulics and avionics from Western manufacturers.
            The wing may be done in a year, but what will they do next?

              The main delay was related to certification.

              yes it is already underway, no matter how you would like the opposite.

                Well, yes, we bought 5 aircraft sets before the sanctions.
                They will be able to pour oil into the ears of patriots about "serial" cars through all channels.

                    Uryakalka like you, having only one barely hatched chicken, start yelling to the whole world that you are already a tycoon - the owner of a huge poultry farm with a million carcasses and 100 million eggs monthly.
                    You are already starting to count the huge profits and publicly talk about how you buy a yacht, an island and a private jet.
                    How do you divorce your old wife and you will have a whole harem of lovers.

                    In fact, you only have one chicken.
                    And it is not known whether he will live to see the fall.

                    And I, as a former employee of the 18th aircraft plant, on which the Tu-114 and Tu-154, Tu-95 and its modifications were built.
                    I myself personally went to the workshops in which these planes were stationed (since I worked in repair workshop 20 and had access on call to closed workshops).

                    And I know how at the very beginning of the 2000s such an oligarch as Deripaska wanted to restore the already deceased plant. He wanted to make airplanes. He has invested billions of money.
                    But desire and money alone are not enough.
                    There is also such a thing as market conditions.
                    And after 3 years - he stopped his attempts. Having lost billions.
                    For desire, without asking, does not give anything.
                    Almost 21 billion rubles were spent on the MS-600 program at the beginning of 20 years. For the PD-14 program, about 400 billion rubles by the middle of 20 ...

                    Now divide this money into those 100-150 planes that may be purchased for domestic use.
                    On which, only for production, it will also be necessary to spend about 4 billion more for the production of each - another 400-600 billion rubles.
                    If you think that a turnkey civil aircraft is cheaper, then you are very wrong.
                    A total of 1,5 trillion rubles per 100 aircraft.
                    What is the bottom line? That each of our aircraft will cost the state 15 billion rubles.
                    This is how the economy does not work.
                    The country will simply be ruined by the word "absolutely".
                    The aircraft will need to be produced at least 500 pieces so that its price is at least on the verge of break-even.


                    And I would really like everything to be produced in Russia, but I hate hats and uryakalok. who do not know anything, who work either on a military pension or on a regular salary. who have never earned money by labor, and even more so, who do not know the economics of the enterprise.

                    And we also have a chicken.
                    And you are already buying a yacht and picking up a young wife.

                      having only one barely hatched chick,

                      I'm just talking about this. Only I see the potential for further development in this, but in your "vision" it is already dead. This is our difference. I am very familiar with such a type of people like you, I have seen quite a few such people in my 6 decades of life. It is good if they work at the level of "bring it, give it," and God forbid, somewhere in the leaders.
                      For the PD-14 program, about 400 billion rubles by the middle of 20 ...

                      added zero from yourself? Do you think that, while working in the office, I have no idea how much was spent on development and how much more will be spent (on fine-tuning or, for example, EASA certification)?
                      And you are already buying a yacht and picking up a young wife.

                      lift our eyes through the text and read my first answer

                        Again.
                        Stop yelling urya when it doesn't make sense.
                        You only have one word "will", "will" - as you repeat mantras.
                        For you "will be" a synonym for "already is" ...
                        And this is not at all so - and this is what I am trying to convey for you such "uryakalok"!

                        We have only 5 sets of equipment for assembling the MC-21.
                        There are no wings or stabilizers.
                        Even if they can start production within 2 years, it will be good.
                        But what will you do next?
                        Dreaming about what KRET will do?
                        Such equipment will be developed and refined - for at least another 7 years.
                        What will you do here and now?
                        Engines?
                        For an aircraft that is still unknown to fly (and our 100% complete set) or not?
                        Will they be able to do it or not at our base?
                        Well, if you make 30-40 engines in 3 years - then what?
                        What's next if the first airplanes begin to be made only in 28 or 30 years.
                        And they will be made in the first years of 2-5 pieces.
                        And your 40 engines will last for another 5 years of production.
                        And what to do with your employees, who are from 25 to 35 years old - will not be needed.
                        Will your employees have to be fired?
                        Engines, avionics, hydraulics, glider - must be done at the same time - this is the essence of the production process.
                        And the good of your engines now. if an aircraft, a serial aircraft from our components will appear in the series no earlier than 28-30 years ...
                        That's where the problem is in your heads.
                        You are incapable of a sane manufacturing economy.

                        once again poke your nose into my comment.
                        PD-14 is certified and is in production. I personally saw him with my own eyes. Irkutsk residents are now assembling the first serial MS-21. There is a production program for the aircraft.


                        what is not true? PD-14 is available and certified in Russia. The serial 21 is under assembly in Irkutsk. There is a program for the plane, although it has shifted.

                        where are the uryakalka and "will be"? you decided to torture me with your schoolboy trolling? Not worth it - I already understood who you are and all your "arsenal"
                        There are no wings or stabilizers.

                        it feels like you are a computer bot. You write the answers, but you prefer to ignore them and dump all your nonsense out of my head on me.
                        Dreaming about what KRET will do?
                        Such equipment will be developed and refined - for at least another 7 years.

                        Well, come on, you will not introduce me to the nonsense that your head is stuffed with. Firstly, KRET two years ago received a technical specification for the development of the entire KSU, LSI, ABSU, etc. Secondly, I repeat - the main difficulty is in the certification of equipment, and not in its development. I understand that it is stupid to ask such an American singer as you, but all the same - whose design and production is the BIS Su-2?
                        Engines?

                        PD-14 was not created exclusively for MS-21. Only there is no need for squeals here that our engine will be unclaimed.
                        And what to do with your employees, who are from 25 to 35 years old - will not be needed.

                        You have to be a fool to think that Saturn is loaded exclusively with PD-14. You don't have to go further - the level of comments is clear.
                        Engines, avionics, hydraulics, glider - must be done at the same time - this is the essence of the production process.

                        and what's the problem? What is the reason for your snot about this?
                        You are incapable of a sane manufacturing economy.

                        who are we"? Russians? and who are capable? Are you American and Ukrainian patriots? Well, you're in luck. Just something, I do not see any success with Boeing. And with the engines, problems and with the management and sales system. Perhaps your Antonov shines with economic efficiency? The circus left and you stayed laughing

          Well, on the one hand, the truth in your words is present. But only partly. The engine is the most technologically advanced part of the aircraft. There will be a spent engine, and there will be planes. And it will depend only on the wishes of the buyers. And this value can be adjusted. A simple strong-willed decision on tax incentives. Will receive less budget from air carriers, but will receive more from manufacturers.

            Engine - where will you put it?
            Into a glider without avionics?

              The topic is dedicated to VK-650. This is a niche product designed for light helicopters. First of all, for the Ka-226. This vehicle is in high demand for the navy. And now there is a salon and avionics for it, but there is no motor. Do you think this is better?
              Ideally, everything should be in sync. But when did it happen? Remember how the Tu-95 was developed. There it was just the opposite, the plane was made before the engine was ready. Is it better?

                Well, let's not juggle.
                For the Tu-95 was developed for both propulsion options. Both under the turbojet engine and under the theater. And if at that moment there were more economical turbines (at least by 15%), then we would never see the propeller Tu-95 ...
                Yes Yes.

                And the difference since the signing of the assignment for the design of the TV-12 TVD aircraft is only a year and a half. for the design, construction of the aircraft and equipping it with new engines.
                Those. it must be understood that the engine was on its way and the plane was still only in mind (based on the experienced Tu-85s) ...
                So those who told you that the Tu-95 was "waiting" for the engines is not true!

                  So there the customer was a civilian, Gazprom and the Ministry of Internal Affairs (EMNIP). And who cares what happened then? There is now". Now we need a light multipurpose helicopter for ships of small displacement, there is such a machine, but there are no motors for it.

                  4 years from the date of signing. The decision to develop a long-range bomber was made in 1951, and TV-12 was first installed on a "backup" in 1954.

                    There was a competition of advance projects between the M-4 and the Tu-95.
                    The sweep of the wing is the same for both machines.
                    35 degrees.
                    Just under the turbojet engine AM-3.
                    For it was for this engine that the planes were created.
                    Tupolev with AM-3 engines would fly exactly the same as Myasishchev M-4.
                    And in order to win, he needed something, but to surpass the M-4.
                    And Tupolev decided to switch to a screw one.
                    In order to increase the flight range and it is with this only parameter - to surpass the competitor. Yes, it surpassed - by 2000 kilometers.
                    And only for this reason I won that competition.

                        It was also designed for AM-3.
                        And the sweep angle specified in the Terms of Reference was precisely reactive.

                        For the sake of winning the competition, Tupolev deliberately deviated from the requirements of the technical specifications.

                        Under AM-3, Myasishchev made, in 1950 he turned to the government with a proposal to create a strategic bomber with a maximum speed of 950 km / h, and a range of more than 13000 km. It was proposed to build the plane with 4 AM-3 turbojet engines. For this project, on March 24, 1951, by a decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, V.M. Myasishchev's OKB was restored, he was assigned the OKB-23 index.

                        As far as I understand, the sweep angle is not determined by the type of engine, but by the intended speed. There, the task was to create a bomber with a cruising speed of over 700 km / h. Hence the sweep of the wing. The Tupolev Design Bureau studied swept wings since the end of the war together with TsAGI and, as a result, made the Tu-16. When Tupolev set about creating a long-range high-speed bomber, to save time, the spent TsAGI and the swept wing of the 16 project (88 degrees of sweep) and the fuselage of the 35 project, tested on the Tu-85, were taken.

                        No.
                        First, there was no competition at the time of Tupolev's decision on the type of motor. There was no specific assignment either. It was about "fly to the United States, drop the bomb and return." As I wrote above, the project of a high-speed long-range bomber began with the initiative of Myasishchev. It was just that the country was different then, and that was normal.
                        Secondly, the type of engine by the Tupolev design bureau was studied purely theoretically, BEFORE design. Tupolev never had a Tu-95 jet project. He originally and always planned to make an airplane with a theater of operations. And the choice was only between the existing TV-2F, two per pylon, and the promising TV-12.
                        It was this project that Tupolev presented to Stalin. Yes, deliberately choosing a theater of operations. But not deviating from the technical task at all. Since there was no technical task of such detail at all.

As well as liquid-propellant rocket engine, by discarding the substance by any means, the supply of this substance limits the possibilities in terms of flight range, i.e. you can hypothetically create an engine that will create thrust from any substance up to the structures of the spacecraft itself, which in the end, of course.
