He praised the Rybinsk plant team for the successful development of the power unit.
The certificate confirms that the PD-8 has all the specified characteristics, and pilots who test the aircraft with our engines share the same opinion. They trust it, this is the most important characteristic.
In December 2025, a source from "Business Online" in the aviation industry stated that the PD-8 did not provide the necessary thrust for flights with a full cabin. The declared power at maximum takeoff mode is 8,056 kgf.
The power unit has received the necessary permits and will now be used on the new SJ-100.
