Partial replacement of full-scale tests of aircraft engines with virtual models can accelerate the creation of power plants. This was stated in the Rostec State Corporation.
Enterprises of the state corporation are already using mathematical modeling to one degree or another for the design, testing, and modernization of high-tech products.
For example, the United Engine Corporation (UEC) uses mathematical modeling of engine operation and assessment of the correctness of design solutions.
Conducting virtual tests reduces the amount of full-scale tests. This approach is already being used in the certification of the PD-8 aircraft engine.
In addition, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), with the help of digital models, accelerates testing and increases the readiness of new aircraft for full-scale tests, reducing the need for real tests.
This topic was touched upon at the V Congress of Young Scientists in Sirius by Georgy Gogaev, leading designer of the A.M. Lyulka Design Bureau (part of UEC-UMPO), as reported by «Первый технический».
Then the engineer noted that verified high-level mathematical models are needed that take into account a large number of factors and their mutual influence on each other.
The head of the design department of PJSC Yakovlev, Ezhen Guryev, added at the same Congress that there are no full-fledged digital twins of engines or aircraft yet, we are talking more about a digital prototype. At the same time, the engineer admitted that there are already developments in this direction. In particular, in the creation of digital "doubles" of the systems of MC-21 and SJ-100 aircraft.
