PD engine family with a thrust of 9-18 tons

PD-14 baseline engine
PD engines based on the common engine core is a family of Russian-made bypass two-shaft turbofans with efficient noise-suppression system designed for short and medium haul aircraft and industrial gas turbines.

The main feature of PD engine family is using a compact engine core and relatively light fan with shroudless blades.
Main key technologies: hollow wide-chord titanium blades and composite fan cases, blisks in the high pressure compressor welded rotor, low-emission combustor from intermetalide alloy, high pressure turbine single-crystal blades with an advanced cooling system, ceramic coating at hot section parts, low pressure turbine hollow blades, composite nacelle.

Besides based on the technologies developed in the scope of PD-14 project it is planned to build industrial gas turbines for manufacturing gas pumping sets and power generating sets rated at 6, 8, 12 and 16 ÌW.

Competitive advantages in operation cost efficiency factor  
are achieved by the following parametric and design features compared with similar products of competitors:

  • Lower temperatures at combustor exit is an essential factor of cost reduction, risk mitigation in achieving the stated durability and reliability values of engines for aircraft with a short flight cycle.
  • Reduced fan diameter allows to have objective reduction of engine weight and nacelle drag.
  • Engine core of optimal size facilitates solving the problems of large compressor air bleeding for different needs and reduces thrust losses.
  • Sufficiently high design pressure ratio of fan (due to a bit lower bypass ratio) excludes the necessity to use variable-geometry nozzle of outer duct connected with inevitable increase of weight and power plant drag and reduces the set thrust losses.
  • Proved in operation conventional configuration of PD-14 engine without gearbox   makes it possible to achieve the required weight, life, reliability and operation costs.

Optimal combination of high cycle parameters and proven engine configuration with direct fan drive makeû it possible to reduce the engine price, maintenance and overhaul costs, power plant weight and drag and to ensure PD-14 advantage for operation economic efficiency and life-cycle cost.
