Began pooling the assets to create the fifth-generation aircraft engine

The success of the first flight tests of fifth-generation Russian aircraft loaded with a fair amount of optimism domestic expert community on the future of this project. But so far not been solved yet, some key issues related to the final definition of technical persons PAK FA. One of the most important – in what terms and with what result to finalize the second phase of the engine, fully meets all the requirements for turbojet for forward-looking machines. During the exhibition “Engines-2010” became known, some new information characterizing the engine, which flew the plane, but also to shape the future of cooperation development engine of the second phase.

At the airfield the Gromov Flight Research Institute. Gromov in Zhukovsky near Moscow on April 8 from Komsomolsk-on-Amur, was taken to the first flying example of the fifth generation fighter. After assembling the aircraft in late April – early May, will begin construction phase of flight tests.

Recall the first time, PAK FA rose into the sky in the Acceptance of factory tests on January 29 this year. During this stage the stability and control of machines, the work of its major systems.One of the most important components of these flights was checking the functioning of the new engine. Despite the fact that the engine for the PAK FA scheme repeats the famous AL-31F, it is 80 percent of the new parts. This low-pressure compressor, combustor, turbine, installed at an angle of 30 degrees swivel nozzle, high pressure compressor, a digital automatic control system with elements of distributed parameters and plasma ignition system.As reported in the exhibition “Engines-2010” Chief Designer included in the Saturn SEC them. AM Swinging Yevhen Marchuk, responsible for creating an engine for the PAK FA, while developing the turbojet, a series of measures to improve reliability and increase the resource.This is necessary because the engine is more intense, has a higher temperature.

Plasma ignition system – new for an Russian engine.Until now, all ignition system to increase altitude, the possibility of running at altitude turbojet used oxygen replenishment.She demanded the availability of the entire oxygen system on board and the infrastructure at the airport. When you create a PAK FA has been tasked to ensure oxygen-free starting. Plasma ignition system installed in the main combustion chamber and afterburner. According to Eugene Marchukova, know-how inherent in the very nozzle with a plasma system: it simultaneously with the filing of kerosene is organized by the arc plasma. Also, a very serious know-how inherent in the ignition where you want in a short time give a very high voltage.

The digital control system with full responsibility as applied in the domestic aircraft for the first time. As pointed out by Yevhen Marchuk, the exception is one standby centrifugal regulator, which allows for total rejection of all the electronics, for example as a result of the impact of a nuclear explosion, to return to base at a reduced mode. Digital ACS is very mobile and flexible.Previously, analog control, change control algorithm engine takes two or three months, now, this operation takes a few minutes, sometimes not even need to stop the turbojet.That is, as noted by General Designer SEC them. AM Swinging, debugging, and debugging engine run much faster. This in turn leads to compression of the timing of testing new aircraft.

The engine of the first phase for the PAK FA is built entirely on the traditional scheme. In particular, deprived of such characteristic elements as a flat nozzle, available from a competitor of our car – F-22. However, according to Eugene Marchukova, work in the field of exhaust systems are maintained. At the stage production of technical documentation are the development of a flat nozzle and the reverse.

From the viewpoint of gas dynamics of a planar nozzle clear disadvantages because when you create the need to make the transition from a circular section (engine) on the flat.Loss of traction at the same time can be 5-7 per cent.The advantage of only one thing – providing heat invisibility by closing the turbine blades flat.This mode is used is limited: it is switched on for 5-10 minutes to overcome the enemy’s air defense system. To solve this problem, such losses are allowed. But the designers of Saturn are trying to minimize the loss of up to 2-3 per cent.

These deliverables should be used in the creation of the engine of the fifth generation of the second phase.So far, the most likely candidate for the development of ideology and the layout of the turbojet was considered a “Saturn”, which entered the structure of the Joint Engine Corporation. However, on 14 April the appointment of Director General of Federal State Unitary Enterprise “MMPP” Salut “Yuri Eliseev, Deputy General Director of RBC is making a new bar in the situation over this very important project.

On the second day of the exhibition “Engines-2010”, April 15 during a press conference Yuri Eliseev reported on what has made “Salute” with the modernization of AL-31F engines and when you create the fifth-generation turbojet.

Conditions of the competition to develop the second stage engine for the PAK FA, according to Yuri Eliseev, envisaged construction of two prototypes: “Eniseisk-A” – “Saturn” and “Eniseisk-B” – “Salute”. The first stage of the contest, involving the creation of separate parts, was completed in November 2008, the second, during which participants were required to submit demonstrators nodes, finished in June of 2009. “As for the” Salute “, – said director general of the enterprise – that is the conclusion of a commission composed of representatives from the Ministry of Defense, CIAM and CSRI-30 MO, stating that the work is done in full at a level no lower than the world, the results are recommended for use in designing fifth-generation engine. As for “Saturn”, they, as far as I know, the second phase has not been completed. By the third phase, the announcement is delayed from the third quarter of last year, KB Salyut created avanproekt fifth generation engine, which according to the conclusion corresponds to the technical task.

In a press release on the appointment of RBC Yuri Eliseev deputy director general of the corporation said that the concentration of efforts of the two major domestic aircraft engine structures both in management and in the production plan will solve many problems quickly and efficiently. In particular, we are talking about the project engine for the PAK FA, which has its own work and “Salute”, and the company JDC, noted in the message. As stated by Yuri Eliseev, “I have never had any doubts that the engine of the fifth generation can only be created by joint efforts. Funding should go through the JDC. The question is: what KB is an ideologue of the engine, who will assemble it and who will be responsible , personal responsibility, for the result of “a matter of principle. in size should be selected on a competitive basis.” Achieved designers Salyut results suggest Yuri Eliseev assume that the lead in creating the fifth generation engine must be exactly led them to the enterprise.

Yuri Eliseev said that still does not know what range of tasks in the new place will determine his employer – CEO of RBC Andrei Reus. But according to his own idea in the JDC “Salute”, in particular, should take an active part in the revival of enterprises of the Samara bush, which includes OAO SNTK them. ND Kuznetsov, OAO Motorostroitel “and OAO” Samara Design Bureau of Engineering (SKBM). There, according to Yuri Eliseev, there are problems with manufacturing and testing of new parts and assemblies in the “Salute” could help Samarans. In turn, General Director of “Salute” very interested in cooperation on facilities for railway transport.According to him, “they have a pretty good result for a capacity of up to 8 MW, have experience with liquefied gas. This experience we would be very handy.”

Don’t think so, because a few days ago at another source I had seen that nanocoatings will decrease the radar visibility of the aircraft and will help increasing power of the engine (sure nanocoatings more technological than the application technic and technology).And I wonder if is its not high tech, does USA or any country sell this technology for applications on the aircraft, missile or space industry?

I couldn’t get the answer of my question! I think you know something about this technology and Rosnano but you should also know some of the technologies which are strategically important does’t sell to the other countries!Today even some of the commercial softwares are not selling to the companies which are creating military equipment.

Mikhail Pogosyan:
We will put India’s 250 fighters of the fifth generation

Yuri Zainashev, GZT.ru
March 12, 2010

On the eve of the visit of the Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin in New Delhi in Russia’s government reported that an agreement on joint production with the Indians fifth-generation fighter T-50 is unlikely to be achieved within the framework of the visit, although even in late February, the agreement announced.The delegation accompanying Putin on and Mikhail Pogosyan, head of Sukhoi Company, created the T-50. About how, in what time frame can now be concluded a deal with India, with Mikhail Pogosyan talks columnist GZT.RU Yuri Zainashev.

Why is agreement on a fighter is postponed, Mikhail Aslanovich? The differences relate to money or performance?
There is no disagreement on this issue with our Indian partners. The only question that we are ready to move faster, and our Indian colleagues need some more time. These talks, which are waging since the beginning of last year, I think we will finish within a few months.In general, there are many questions, but they relate only to how we move forward in implementing this program.
Why do Indians prefer the two-seater plane, while you have only a single ready?
They plan to use and single, double and airplanes. Никакой специфики тут нет. No specificity is not here. Simply, we initially focused on a single version, but as the program double must also appear.
The negotiations have heard estimates of the number of fighters that you could produce with the Indians?
Now while negotiations for the holding of joint development work, that is, in the coming months to conclude negotiations on the initial phase of joint development. At this stage the amount of detail is not discussed, but roughly we expect that the total will exceed 600 aircraft.
The total lifespan of most of these aircraft – age 60. For example, we began to mass-produce the Su-27 in 1983-1984, and modification of the Su-30 MKI and Su-35 will, I think, be made until at least 2020. In view of this aircraft, which we carry in 2020, I think, will survive until 2050.
So when we talk about the timing of production aircraft, it is 25-35 years.And for such a period we will make, I think, well, at least 700, and I appreciate all the market in more than a thousand aircraft.
If we take the largest aircraft program’s fourth-generation family of Su-27 and Su-30, we put on the market more than 1300 aircraft. For comparison: the American F-15 program – is 1500 planes.
With regard to a specific timetable for delivery of aircraft, it is a matter for future negotiations. I think that at least 200-250 aircraft will be delivered to the Air Force in India. I am about to assess the extent of such transfers on the basis of the extent of the program Su-30 MKI, on the basis of the program of the tender, which India holds on a light fighter.
Tender for a light fighter, as far as is known, will take place next month, and in Russia.
As you might expect, how to grow your chances of success in it after the current visit of Vladimir Putin?
Hopefully, this program is on the political level, takes support.The tender is held on the program MRCA (Multi Role Combat Aircraft – a multipurpose tactical aircraft – GZT. RU) – a multi-purpose combat aircraft.
We actively participate in the tender, we will demonstrate the MiG-35. In this regard, we look forward to a multi-faceted experience of our previous cooperation with India.But this will not only strengthen the long-term strategic cooperation between our countries, it will be indeed a small but important advantage to the technical and commercial proposals, which we launched in the bidding.

Can you fairly describe the advantages of their rivals in this tender?
In this tender includes all the leading manufacturers of military aircraft. In Russia, it is primarily the United States, Western Europe. From America – a two aircraft: F-18 firm Boeing and the F-16 Company Lockheed Martin. European projects presented three: the Eurofighter Typhoon – a joint product of Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain. This Rafale, a French company which produces Dassault Aviation. JAS 39, which produces the Swedish company SAAB.
We are constantly entering the three most powerful potential participants in the tender. I would to this trio took another F-18 and, probably, Eurofighter.
Political support in this tender has for all participants, but I think that our level of strategic cooperation with India is different from the level of India’s cooperation with other countries. But this visit can generally take a comprehensive look at the interaction between the two countries.
