The Be-200ChS-8 amphibious aircraft, which is used for extinguishing fires, will be equipped with Russian-made engines, according to the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Alexander Kurenkov.
According to him, the research and development work on the modernization of amphibious aircraft has already begun. Their result should be the Be-200ChS-8 model with new PD-8 aircraft engines of domestic production.
We currently have a group of 10 Be-200ChS aircraft. The ministry plans to have 16 aircraft of this type in service.
The Be-200ChS jet amphibious aircraft has a unique ability to take off and land on land and water. The capacity of the tanks is 12 tons of liquid.
Work on re-engining the already legendary amphibious aircraft will begin after the latest domestic engines have passed a full cycle of tests and certification on the regional SJ-100 Superjet in a fully import-substituted form.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the "inner world" of the PD-14 aircraft engine was shown in detail for the first time: the temperature is like on Venus.
