Russia will begin constructing a test stand for the high-power PD-35 aircraft engine in 2026, according to Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov.
He explained that before the unit can enter mass production, the engine itself needs to be developed first. Construction of the test base will begin in 2026.
The demonstrator engine already exists and has shown outstanding results. The test base, the first stand on which the demonstrator was tested, has already been created. However, a large testing program is still a very complex technical device, so next year we will begin financing the construction of a stand for the engine.
The Minister added that the PD-35 development program is being implemented in accordance with the approved schedule for the test base.
In 2018, it was reported that UEC allocated 64.3 billion rubles for research and development (R&D) to create the PD-35 ultra-high thrust engine. It produced 37 tons of thrust on the test stand, according to aviation expert Oleg Panteleev.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russia is completing the construction of 7 new aircraft, 3 helicopters, and 6 aircraft engines.
