UEC-Aviadvigatel won at the "Aircraft Builder of the Year"

03.11.2022

On 25th of October, 2022, the ‘Aircraft Builder of the Year-2021’ Awarding Ceremony was held for Laureates and Diploma Winners. UEC-Aviadvigatel (part of Rostec United Engine Corporation) was awarded in three nominations.

The entire design bureau team was awarded the title of laureate in the Best Innovation Project category for the PD-35 Core Engine Development. Implementation of the ambitious program of high-thrust engine family derived from unified PD-35 core engine started in 2016. After only five years, in 2021, the PD-35 core engine demonstrator successfully passed through bench tests.

This success was based upon the extensive work of the entire design bureau team. As no such engines in this thrust class has been created before in Russia, Perm designers have conducted extensive research and development work to create the necessary scientific and technological groundwork and master critical technologies.

The title of laureate in the category of Good Performance in Designing the Systems and Units for Aircraft Engineering was awarded to the joint competition work “Designing of the Propulsion System Nacelle with MS-21 PD-14” of TSAGI and UEC-Aviadvigatel collaborative team. Dmitry Bekurin, Head of KO-2053, and Evgeny Arkhangelsky, Deputy Head of KO-2053 for Computations joined to the group of authors on behalf of Perm Design Bureau.

For the first time ever in the domestic civil engine building history, the engine developer has created an engine nacelle too. According to the experts of Northern Irish Nacelle Systems Consultancy (NSC), the PD-14 nacelle embodies the latest technical solutions and is a world-class product.

Diploma winner in the category of the New Technology Creation was a project “Development and implementation of the metal powder selective laser melting technology to produce high-pressure compressor guide vanes segments”. The project was conducted by the group of authors consisting of Rustam Phaskhutdinov, Head of Control Software and Numerical Simulation Bureau, Additive Manufacturing Dept.; Julia Samusina, Head of Manufacturing Engineering Bureau, Additive Manufacturing Dept.; and Evgeny Lizunov, Head of Blades and Coatings Team.

The developed technology makes it possible to produce near-net-shape blanks of the blades and airfoils, and make the best use of the material. In addition, the use of this method allows for some non-machined surfaces that are non-mating and have no effect on the performance.

The Aviation Union Competition identifies the strongest among the equals, i.e. the winners are selected by the expert board, which includes the most competent authorities with a vast experience in all areas of aircraft industry. Such awards in the professional skills competition are even more important for Perm Design Bureau personnel.
