The United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of Rostec) has begun working with scientific institutes and organizations, opening up more opportunities for the creation of completely new aircraft engines.
UEC General Designer Yuri Shmotin said that additive technologies, polymer composite materials, industrial design and engineering are taking domestic engine building to a higher level.
A real revolution has taken place in materials. For example, reinforced ceramics will allow operation with higher temperatures at the outlet of combustion chambers. This means the possibility of increasing the pressure ratio in the compressor and eliminating the need to cool the turbine blades with air. The introduction of such a solution is the creation of a next-generation engine.
Shmotin added that in the future the corporation will be able to create fundamentally new aircraft engines using advanced technologies and digital solutions.
