Russia has achieved significant progress in domestic aircraft engine manufacturing, and the PD-14 aircraft engine is better than global standards. This was stated by President Vladimir Putin.
According to him, the country has not seen such success in the field of aircraft engine manufacturing for a long time.
We made the PD-14. There hasn't been anything like it since Soviet times. I don't even remember what year the last engine was. It seems to me it was the end of the 1980s. And we made a new engine. Simply excellent. Not just meeting global standards, but better.
The head of state added that only four countries in the world besides Russia make engines similar to the PD-14.
The official website of the United Engine Corporation states that among the key advantages of the power plant is reducing operating costs by more than 15% compared to global counterparts, as well as meeting modern and future ICAO environmental requirements.
The PD-14 engine is designed for installation on new MC-21-310 liners.
