China has offered Russia its expertise in the creation of aircraft engines. This is according to Bulgarian Military, commenting on the news of an internship of a group of MAI students (target training of UEC) at Shenyang Aerospace University.
Fifth-year students of the "Wings of Rostec" educational and professional track got acquainted with advanced theoretical developments. The students learned about the introduction of digital innovations in the production of aircraft engines and consolidated new knowledge about machine learning systems and robotics in practice.
According to Bulgarian Military, Russia relies on China in the field of military technology and integrates AI into the aviation industry.
AI allows engineers to analyze and optimize the designs of engines and aircraft components. With the help of simulation, AI tests various types of units. The algorithm predicts which configuration provides maximum engine efficiency with minimal fuel consumption.
Journalists of the Western publication emphasize that AI helps to improve the thermodynamics of the engine, reducing energy loss. With its help, engineers will create lighter and more efficient units.
About UEC engines
UEC produces engines for Russian and foreign aircraft. One of them — AL-41F1, which equips the Su-35. The powerful unit provides maneuverability and fuel efficiency of the fighter.
UEC also produces the RD-93 — an engine for the Russian MiG-29 and the Chinese JF-17. It is distinguished by its power and reliability.
