The United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of the Rostec State Corporation) will present power plants for medium-range and regional aircraft, as well as advanced helicopters at the NAIS-2025 civil aviation infrastructure exhibition in Moscow, which will be held on February 5-6.
The premiere of the forum will be the PD-8 engine for the SJ-100 airliner. Leading enterprises of the Russian aviation industry were involved in its development and production.
The PD-8 turbofan engine was created at ODK-Saturn using the latest domestic materials and advanced technologies, including 3D printing. The experience of creating a more powerful PD-14 engine was used in the development of the power plant. To speed up certification, the PD-8 used computer modeling results.
Only a few countries in the world are capable of building their own aircraft engines, and Russia is one of them. In the near future, we expect the PD-8 to take to the skies for the first time as part of the passenger SJ-100 to pass the final stage - flight tests.
The exhibition will also feature the PD-14 engine for the MS-21 medium-range passenger aircraft and the TV7-117ST-01 for the Il-114-300 turboprop regional aircraft. In addition, the VK-1600V engine for medium-class helicopters with a take-off weight of 5-8 tons is presented at the stand.
