Specialists of the UEC - Ufa Engine-Building Production Association are developing a universal aircraft engine for fighters based on the engine for the Su-35 aircraft, which will also be suitable for the Su-27 and Su-30. The managing director of UEC-UMPO Evgeny Semivelichenko told about this , noting that this engine could be installed on fighters without modifying the airframe.
“Today we are considering the possibility of creating a kind of universal engine using the components of previous engines in order to obtain higher technical characteristics,” - UEC director.
Semivelichenko noted that an order was received from the Ministry of Defense for the creation of a universal engine capable of being installed on the Su-27, Su-30 and Su-35 without any problems . “We are doing this work,” he added.
Recall that the UEC is also developing the Il-96 aircraft with new engines , which is to appear in Russia in 2025. The first tests of the PD-35 engine are scheduled for 2023. The new engine is unique in that it has an extra-high thrust during takeoff - from 33 to 40 tons. 180 billion rubles have already been allocated for its development.
