VR technologies used in the production of the latest AL-41ST-25 gas turbine engine

UEC specialists will be able to see what cannot be seen during a normal assessment of the power plant

Specialists from the Ufa Engine-Building Production Association (UMPO, part of the United Engine Corporation) used virtual reality technologies in the production of the latest AL-41ST-25 gas turbine engine.

Thanks to the VR headset, engineers can see what is impossible to do during a normal inspection — each part individually, in the assembly, and the assembled engine.

This makes it much more interesting and easier to understand the design and principle of operation of such a complex product as an engine. It also greatly helps in learning the material and turns the exam into a fascinating and enjoyable activity.

In the future, this is how specialists will be trained for operating companies that will have to carry out maintenance of the AL-41ST-25.
