MC-21 aircraft

The first tests of PD-14 engine intended for advanced MS-21 aircraft will be carried out in 2014, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the official representative of United Engine Corporation (UEC), Anastasia Denisova.

The total amount of investments in development of PD-14 is about 70 billion rubles. "At present the engine is being prepared for testing onboard the Il-76 testbed aircraft scheduled for 2014", — Denisova said.

She also said that the certification of PD-14 engine is scheduled for 2015 and the engine’s serial production will be launched in 2016. The first run of the advanced concept technology demonstrator was successfully performed last year.

The advanced fifth-generation PD-14 engine with a thrust of 14 tons is the first member of engine family with a thrust of 9-18 tons developed on the basis of common engine core. It is the first civil engine developed in Russia over the last 25 years. PD-14 separate flow engine features the classic two-shaft bypass architecture.

Irkut Corporation is developing MS-21 aircraft family with a capacity of 150 – 210 seats. The maiden flight of the jet powered by PW1400G engines is scheduled for 2015, entry into service - 2017. MS-21 aircraft will be powered by Pratt&Whitney PW1400G engines from the PW1000G geared turbofan engine family. In future these jets will also be powered by PD-14 engines developed by Perm-based Aviadvigatel.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
