Russia will launch the production of TVD-10 aircraft engines for An-2 "Kukuruznik" aircraft. This was announced by the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, Anton Alikhanov.
Omsk is attempting to re-engine the An-2 aircraft, making it a turboprop. As part of the modernization of the aircraft, it is proposed to install the TVD-10B engine on it — a modification of the TVD-10 turboprop engine developed back in 1965.
We have a project to resume production of TVD-10 engines. They can be used for the re-engining of the An-2 and, in the future, for the modernization of these aircraft.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Siberian Research Institute of Aviation (SibNIA) named after S.A. Chaplygin plans to obtain a prototype of the "Kukuruznik" with a TVD-10B engine by the summer of this year.
