Representatives of JSC "UZGA" announced the successful completion of the modernization of the UTS-800 project, a training aircraft developed using blueprint-free design technology, demonstrating digital technologies in this industry and the future capabilities of aircraft engineering.

The introduction of blueprint-free technology has significantly reduced development and production times. This method involves creating a 3D model of the aircraft, which serves as the basis for all stages of the product life cycle - from design to operation. Abandoning traditional drawings not only accelerated the process, but also improved the accuracy of parts manufacturing and assembly, minimizing the number of errors and rework.

UTS-800 became the first Russian aircraft equipped with a turboprop engine and was developed specifically for the initial stage of pilot training, including their professional selection and career path determination. Its key features are excellent maneuverability and cost-effectiveness in operation. The standard equipment of the aircraft includes a turboprop engine, ejection seats, as well as systems that ensure the safety and comfort of the crew: an oxygen system, an air conditioning system, an anti-icing system and other on-board equipment.

Flight performance characteristics of the UTS-800 aircraft:

• Crew: 2 people (cadet and instructor).
• Maximum speed: 460-510 km/h.
• Cruising speed: 350 km/h.
• Practical ceiling: 8000 meters.
• Maximum flight duration: 7 hours.
• Possibility of installing weapons.
• Engine: Klimov VK-800SP turboprop engine.

Earlierwww1.ru reported that a full-size model of theAM-38F aircraft engine for the MiG-3 attack aircraft was recreated on a 3D printer by engineers from ODK-Kuznetsov.
