A large number of units and sensors are the main difficulty during the initial inspection of the PD-8 aircraft engine. This was stated by the leading specialist of the United Engine Corporation (UEC) for external inspection, Mark Sukhankov.
Sukhankov checks each power plant manufactured at the "UEC-Saturn" enterprise. He checks all external elements of the engine before testing, after testing, and before the engine is packaged for shipment to the customer.
According to him, a huge and laborious work was done during the creation of the PD-8, so there is a sense of pride for colleagues and the country.
The PD-8 aircraft engine has many different units, pipelines, sensors, electrical wires, and a large number of brackets and mounts. This is the main difficulty in performing external inspections - not to miss anything. My job is to ensure that every element of the engine is carefully inspected. And looking at the PD-8, I feel involved in a large and important matter for the whole country!
In the work on the power plant, engineers used the experience of creating a more powerful PD-14 engine. To speed up the certification of the PD-8, they used the results of computer modeling.
The PD-8 will be used on the import-substituted passenger aircraft SSJ-NEW and on the Be-200 amphibious aircraft.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a new production of nozzle guide vanes for gas turbine engines has been launched in Russia.
