The Russian manufacturer ODK-Aviadvigatel showed what the PD-14 aircraft engine consists of. The PD-14 aircraft engine is the first in the history of modern Russia to have its own certified engine for civil aviation, created taking into account international standards and requirements. In terms of the scale of technical, technological, economic, and marketing problems in the field of aircraft engine building, the creation of the PD-14 engine has become the most ambitious project in Russia over the past 30 years.
Currently, only four countries - Great Britain, Russia, the USA and France - possess the technologies for the full cycle of creating modern turbojet engines.
The first ground tests of the PD-14 took place in 2012, the first flight tests in 2015. In January 2020, the PD-14 underwent additional tests to comply with new international standards for smoke and non-volatile particle emissions. New high-strength Russian titanium and nickel alloys were used to create the engine. The engine nacelle structure consists of 65% composite polymer materials In total, about 20 new Russian materials were used in PD-14. It is expected that the operating costs of PD-14 engines will be 14-17% lower than those of existing similar engines, and the life cycle cost will be 15-20% lower. The PD-14 engine was developed for the promising Russian airliner MS-21-310. The first flight of MS-21-310 with PD-14 engines took place on December 15, 2020 at the airfield of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant. Today the aircraft continues to fly as part of certification tests.
The MC-21 aircraft will replace its competitors Airbus A320 and Boeing 737-800 in Russian airlines.
