The first flight of the second fully import-substituted MC-21 aircraft, equipped with domestic PD-14 engines from the United Engine Corporation of Rostec, became a key event for the Russian aviation industry. Fedor Mironov, Deputy Director for Sales of UEC State Corporation Rostec, confirmed that the PD-14 engine demonstrated stable operation.
In the air, the PD-14 reliably operated in all modes — from idle to take-off power. All power plant systems operated normally, confirming their reliability in the full flight cycle.
Telemetry data recorded optimal operating parameters, no deviations, and stable temperature conditions. The successful completion of the tests opens up new horizons for the integration of the PD-14 into promising aviation complexes.
Earlier, during an extensive program of ground and flight tests, full compliance with technical requirements for thrust, fuel consumption, and weight and size characteristics was confirmed.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the study of plasma on the ISS will become the basis for the development of new engines at MAI.
