NPO Saturn enters the mass production of small-sized engines for UAVs

NPO Saturn and Raduga GosMKB named after A.Ya. Bereznyak signed a contract completing the formation of the NPO Saturn production program before 2015 for serial deliveries of engines for unmanned aerial vehicles. The term of the contract - 2013-2015 years.

The first serial deliveries of engines for drones for GosMKB "Rainbow" them. AND I. Bereznyak" NPO "Saturn" began in 2008. The volume of the first contract for supplies in 2008-2010 amounted to less than 1 billion rubles. Under the first contract, not only the serial production of small-sized engines at NPO Saturn was worked out, but also cooperation with Russian suppliers of purchased components and blanks.

The further program of serial deliveries of small-sized engines for JSC "Raduga" GUSMKB named after A.Ya. Bereznyak "was divided into the 2 contract. The first of these was concluded in the 2011 year with the implementation period of 2011-2015. The negotiation of the terms of the second contract was completed in the second quarter of 2013 of the year and ended with the signing in July of 2013 of the year.

The total amount of two contracts concluded between NPO Saturn and JSC GosMCB Raduga for the supply of engines for UAVs from 2013 to 2015 exceeded 4 billion rubles. Relative to production volumes in 2010-2012, the 2013-2015 production program has increased 3,5 times.

Such a significant increase in supply volumes was possible due to the implementation of the import substitution program and a set of measures for the preparation of production. NPO Saturn in the framework of the Federal Target Program “Development of the Military-Industrial Complex of the Russian Federation” carries out preparatory work, including the construction of new production buildings and the introduction of high-performance equipment, recruitment and training of qualified production and engineering personnel.

In order to consolidate the development and serial production of engines for UAVs, the management of enterprises decided to merge OAO NPO Saturn and OAO OMKB Omsk, which is also a developer and manufacturer of engines for UAVs. There has always been close cooperation between enterprises in the area of ​​industrial cooperation in the manufacture of parts and assembly units, the scale of which will increase significantly after the merger, and a program to consolidate the procurement of components, materials and blanks is also being implemented.

Formed portfolio of orders and implementation of measures of the Federal Target Program “Development of the defense industry complex of the Russian Federation” derive NPO Saturn to mass production of engines for UAVs, comparable to the scale of production that existed before the collapse of the USSR.

// This is how "without noise and dust" goes the process in the direction of drones, in which we, unfortunately, are well behind.

It is unlikely since this is a prim order from mines defense. Military technology rarely goes to civilian.

[Canep]

And in my opinion, military technologies very often go to civilian life, for example: "Saiga", Ural-4320, Diesel B2 and B6 are used in civilian power plants, and were developed for tanks. Aircraft Tu-104 and Tu-114 converted bombers. Internet after all. And the list goes on and on.

I do not know how much the picture was related to the article, but on it the turbofan engine-50 created in the last century by the OMCB. According to Vicky, NPO Saturn, together with OMKB, has been working on the restoration of production since 2000 (to replace the P95-300 engines, they were made in Ukraine for the X-55) and repair of the “product 36”. In particular, in large-scale production The modifications of the basic model of the TRDD-50 - the engines TRDD-50A and TRDD-50AT - were launched. At the same time, OMCB developed and launched the production of another modification - the engine TRDD-50B ("Product 37"). " The wiki contains the following characteristics
Technical data TRDD-50AT:

Maximum traction - 450 kgf.
The specific fuel consumption at maximum mode is 0,71 kg / kgf * h.
Diameter - 330 mm.
Length - 850 mm.
Dry weight - 82 kg.
The oil used is VT-301.
The fuel used is T-1 (aviation kerosene), T-6, T-10 (decylin), TS-1, RT.

[cosmos111]

Great news. Russian industry has not yet produced small-sized aircraft engines. There is the first.

[Zufei]

Placing a low-resource and gluttonous engine on a UAV is not a very balanced decision. And the built-in generator will not work for a long time.

[Edward72]

Suppose that they did the move, and why they will attach it, again we will buy something under the license.

[afire]

No nonsense, on June 28 there was an exhibition of UAVs and their gliders there is a sufficient number for every taste and price tag.
Here you are - http://topwar.ru/30286-demonstraciya-novyh-rossiyskih-bla.html
You are not aware of what is happening, but are engaged in incitement that Voooot did nothing, nothing dumb. We have everything

[fzr1000]

Once production has begun, then there is a glider. Otherwise, why start everything? These are interconnected things, not business "in Russian".

[user]

Engines are the bottleneck in aircraft manufacturing

[mirag2]

It is not necessary to create your own glider for each engine and vice versa. If there is a small high-torque engine with low weight, you can create several different planes (drones) under it.

[Edward72]

I agree with you that gliders should be created for different purposes. But the question is where they are.

If we also connect the scientific company, which is based in the BBA, then in a short time we will be the DIP for UAVs of leading manufacturers.
DIP - A series of lathes, Catch up and overtake.

It would be interesting to see the technical characteristics, as well as the cost of these engines.
For example, TurboMekhi has a TVD power of about 75 hp, which costs about 12 dollars .. with a motor resource of about 000 hours. This engine is placed on ultra-light helicopters.

for small aircraft it will also be useful

Two of these engines can be put on a light aircraft with a takeoff weight of about 4000 kg with a fuel supply of 1000 kg and a commercial load of 1000 kg (10-12 passengers), it (the aircraft) can fly about 1500 km at a speed of 600-700 km / h. This is an approximate calculation, offhand.

[dustycat]

In the 1990s he participated in one project.
The project died due to the lack of an accessible engine with approximately such parameters. The glider rotted on the roof of the garage where they worked.
Guys who left where.
Two to Israel and there work on their favorite profile.
Recently, I saw one in a program from an exhibition of UAVs.
Not quite what they thought, but still ...

Thanks, interesting. But the expense is too big. In older brothers, the flow characteristics seem to be better. It turns out per hour, the average consumption is 320 kg. ((

But so I wrote that on the basis of ... Maybe I'm wrong, and there will be a completely new product.

No, you are right, it is he

[fzr1000]

But he is far from new.

[Nayhas]

Well, it’s not a zero to start ... The problem with the lag in the absence of light-engine aviation in Russia. Probably, they haven’t designed piston engines for airplanes for about 60 years already, completed the M-14 and M-62, but no more ... When it came to the design of UAVs, it turned out that there were no engines for them, only foreign ones ... That’s what they’ll do on the basis of rocket engines ... It’s true I don’t know how they will succeed, because it’s actually a single-use rocket, so they most likely designed it to work for a couple of hours, and there it will burn itself along with the rocket, hence the materials are simpler and tolerances ...

Development \ production of turbojet engines in the segment of small thrust classes "Akhheles's heel" of the Soviet aviation industry, the fact is that it happened historically, we went along the path of cooling the working zones of the turbine (blades in particular), this type of technology gives a relative reduction in the cost of the sample number and by the "time" component of the production cycle, however, it presupposes a certain limitation on the dimensions (not less than the def.) of the product. Therefore, on small turbojet engines, we are forced to use combustion cycles (with thrust modes close to MAX), not uniformly stressing (the same blade) in terms of area, as a result, the process of heat transfer from a more heated zone to a less heated one and then to a "special" coolant occurs, it can be simplified to say that such loading occurs due to re-enrichment of the combustible mixture (hence smoky traces and increased consumption) an inevitable disadvantage of the "cooled zones" technology is low product resource. The West has followed the path of synthesizing monocrystalline structures of high thermal capacity, i.e. creating "supermaterial" (both in price and quality) Based on the above, you need to understand that the design of the TRDD-50 engine is limiting, optimized for operation in a narrow range of thrust, with an insignificant resource. The choice of it as a prototype of the UAV engine is a forced measure because such an engine is needed yesterday. Ideally, we need two types of turbojet engines: 1st for shock UAVs, based on the technology of "cooled zones" because. such devices will have to have a low cost (after all, they are essentially a consumable) .2nd for "patrol-shock" UAVs based on "supermaterial" (since their main task is to have the greatest possible resource and efficiency to reduce the cost of operation as much as possible) and here is the only way to buy a license.

[Nayhas]

Wow, thank you ... Thank you so much Sergey Vladimirovich, extremely informative!

[dustycat]

Our heat-resistant technologies rested on their high cost and low gross demand in the early 1970s. Well, it’s unnecessary in their millions of thousands of tons per year.
In mid-1980, the development of plasma technologies and research was greatly reduced (without them, obtaining heat-resistant materials without the use of alkaline earth is incredibly expensive, or even impossible).
In the early 1990s, the research institute of heat-resistant materials was completely destroyed.
So, small-sized and fairly economical fuel injection engines in Russia will not be available soon.
Although there is a group of amateur designers trying to blind, in the literal sense of the word, the fuel injection pump is almost made of clay. Everything again rests on the availability of heat-resistant ceramics.

[fzr1000]

I don't think it's all that tragic. Saturn has quite a lot of experience in this area. Have to handle it.

[dustycat]

The more the more economical.
The thermodynamics of a fuel injection pump is tightly coupled with specific power.
The greater the power, the lower the specific gravity of iron.
And fuel consumption.

[Zerstorer]

As far as I understand, the term "UAV" in this article hides cruise missiles.

[Windbreak]

True, it is not clear what relation GosMKB Raduga OJSC has to drones. Yes, drones with turboprop and turbojet engines are not particularly noticeable.

UAVs can also be attributed to missiles.
"GosMKB" Rainbow "makes missiles. Forgot the recent words of Shoigu about the increase in cruise missiles?
That's the result, figure out how many rocket engines can be made with this money.

[Starover_Z]

The news is pleasant, but I consider it incomplete. I’m not an engine operator, but for each device I have my own engine, especially this is an aircraft where the payload is counted in grams! A certain engine for a certain model is not a truck fleet or a truck tractor for different load models. If something is done, it can do so under the previously promised drones with a total weight of 1 and 5 tons. Is that so.

[dustycat]

It would be a good engine, but to come up with a fuselage and load is not a problem.
