36


The third prototype prototype of the Mi-38 helicopter made the first flight with Russian TV7-117 engines developed by Klimov.

29 November, the first flight of the third prototype prototype of the new multipurpose helicopter Mi-38 with engines TV7-117В took place. The engines specifically for the helicopter were developed by Klimov, a member of the United Engine Corporation (UEC). It is reported by the press service of OJSC "Helicopters of Russia".

The helicopter flew around the territory of the flight test complex of the developer - the Moscow Helicopter Plant. M.L. Mile at the National Helicopter Center in Tomilino, near Moscow. Positive results will be the basis for certification factory tests of the helicopter for compliance with Russian standards.



The TV7-117В engines significantly expand the potential of using the Mi-38 and increase its competitive advantages. The new engine is characterized by increased power and fuel efficiency. The production of an experimental batch of TV7-117В for certification, which is scheduled for the end of 2014, will begin shortly.

New turboshaft engines TV7-117В in the power class 2500-3000 hp created on the basis of the TV7-117CM turboprop engine and unified among themselves on 90%. The TV7-117В family of engines provide high flight safety, having extreme power modes from 2800 to hp 3750. The engine is equipped with a new digital electronic control and monitoring system such as FADEC, created on the basis of a single automatic control and monitoring unit.

The Russian transport and passenger helicopter Mi-38 can be used for the carriage of goods and passengers, used as a flying hospital and solving other tasks. It has a spacious passenger cabin, low noise and vibration, as well as a high level of comfort. With a cruising speed of 295 km / h, the flight range reaches 1200 km. The Mi-38 helicopter in its class surpasses other helicopters in terms of carrying capacity, passenger capacity and basic flight performance.

Certification of the Mi-38 helicopter is planned at 2015. Serially, the helicopter will be produced from 2015 at the Kazan Helicopter Plant. Now the assembly of the fourth final is completed here before the start of serial production of an experimental prototype helicopter. OP-4 from OP-3 will be different shock-resistant fuel system from Aerazur and increased window openings.

      for me so, the cabin does not look modern ..

      as for our engines, our engines should stand on our technology by themselves (and it would be nice to use foreign ones too)

    There is nothing strange in the fact that we are finally moving to the production of engines in our country, no! It’s time to get out of dependence on foreign supplies, the more potential, as we see, is not bad!

    A good replacement will be for the MI-8 helicopter, although outwardly, it seems more like a class.

    And the engine along the way is our Zaporizhzhya !!!!

    In the near future, a delegation with the leadership of Klimov is expected in Zaporozhye. In particular, the proposal of Zaporozhye aircraft engine builders for the joint production of the TV3-117VMA-SBM1V engine will be considered, since there is no alternative to this engine today, and "the Russian side is convinced of this," said the president of Motor Sich JSC.

      Excuse me, but as the saying goes "two, bolts in both hands" TV3-117 is a family of aircraft turboshaft engines developed in 1965-1972 at the V. Ya. Klimov Design Bureau under the leadership of S. P. Izotov and S. V. Lyunevich. If ZPOM released them does not mean that he

      We will establish a release at home.

        I wanted to add something sarcastic, cut a bunch of quotes from my above link, and then broke off abruptly)) Anyway, the fuel equipment is from Omsk, and the electronic engine control system was developed by the Russian Systems company (Moscow). It turns out the engine is based on the old one, developed back in the Soviet Union, and now we are doing its modifications together, you don’t need Zaporozhye engines, because no one forces you, do it yourself and enjoy yourself.

          So we are building a second plant near St. Petersburg, it is still easier than negotiating with Ukraine. Because YOU have white in the morning, green in the afternoon, and red in the evening in the city of Kiev. And the next morning the European Union is already there, it is not clear with whom and how to negotiate.

      It is gratifying that our Russian engines are on a Russian helicopter. I asked about the helicopter - and so, it is assumed that it will replace the Mi-8. And rightly so, the eight have been over 50 years old, so long even ships have not served.

    Russia will not buy Zaporizhzhya engines - there will be Chinese, then they will buy technology, etc.
    It is better to load partners to the full for mutual benefit, to guarantee joint management (which most likely happened), in addition, production in Ukraine is cheaper.
    In this case, no one bothers to produce their own engines. Apparently, market needs are ahead of manufacturers' capabilities.
