Partially replacing full-scale tests of aircraft engines with virtual models can speed up the creation of power plants. This was stated in the Rostec State Corporation.
The state corporation's enterprises are already using mathematical modeling to varying degrees 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 ПД-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, a leading designer at the A.M. Lyulka Design Bureau (part of UEC-UMPO), as written about by «Первый технический».
Then the engineer noted that high-level verified 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, at the same Congress added 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.
