It will become the largest aircraft engine in Russian history As reported in the official Rostec telegram channel, tests of the domestic fifth-generation full-size turbojet engine PD-35 are planned for early 2024. It will be the largest aircraft engine in Russian history: the diameter of the PD-35 fan is 3.1 meters and the thrust is 35 tons. These power plants are created by the subsidiary of the United Engine Corporation, UEC-Aviadvigatel.

In October of this year, the first tests of the gas generator of the PD-35 aircraft engine took place . Tests were carried out under conditions simulating the operation of a full-size power plant; parameters such as pressure, temperature, effort, fuel and oil consumption, stress, vibration, etc. were assessed. Tests showed good agreement between the obtained parameters of the gas generator and the design data.

Preliminary reason given One of the engines of the Il-76 transport aircraft began to burn during takeoff from the airfield in Dushanbe, as reported by Izvestia, citing several sources. According to reports, one of the engines began to increase in temperature during takeoff, and during the climb it caught fire. The crew decided to dump fuel, turn around, and land the plane. No harm done.

It is worth adding that the Il-76 made its first flight on March 25, 1971, and the first production aircraft made its first flight on May 5, 1973. In total, over the years of production, 955 aircraft were produced, of which more than 100 were exported. This week it was announced the creation of a completely new light military transport aircraft, the Il-212, which will replace both the An-26 and An-72. A few days ago, due to a non-functioning engine, a Boeing 737 made an emergency landing in Novosibirsk. In September, an Airbus A320 plane made an emergency landing in a field near Novosibirsk.
