Additional financial injections will be required for the serial production of the unit and "so that Putin bangs his fist on the table"

With the submission of the first persons of the state, additional funds will be invested in the development of the promising PD-35 aircraft engine. This opinion was expressed by the chairman of the Civil Aviation Commission of the Public Council of Rostransnadzor, former Deputy Minister of Civil Aviation Oleg Smirnov.

And with the help of a blow to the table with the presidential fist, additional investments will follow in order to complete the PD-35 and bring the engine to mass production, which has no equal in the world in terms of power and other parameters.

When creating the PD-35, the scientific and technical groundwork based on the results of the development of the fifth-generation PD-14 engine was used as much as possible.
