Russian TV7-117ST-01 turboprop engines continue to lift Il-114-300 aircraft into the sky as part of certification flights. The enterprises of the United Engine Corporation (UEC) are increasing production capacity for the production of domestic power plants.
The main developer of the TV7-117ST-01 is the St. Petersburg enterprise "UEC-Klimov", and parts for it are manufactured by enterprises throughout the country. For example, OMO named after P.I. Baranov is assigned a significant part of the engine parts and assemblies.
The production of parts and assemblies for the TV7-117ST-01 involves the enterprise's procurement, foundry, mechanical assembly and assembly shops. Over the past five years, the plant has done a great job of equipping the shops with new equipment, special tools, and providing blanks and materials. The work continues. We will only increase production volumes.
Features of the TV7-117ST-01 aircraft engine:
Increased take-off power, high fuel efficiency, FADEC digital automatic control system, the presence of a digital twin, self-diagnosis equipment, which allows for computational studies to optimize the engine design.
Earlier www1.ru reported that UEC showed for the first time welding of aircraft engine parts using friction technology. This method reduces weight and increases the service life of power plants.
