The total operating time of operating SaM146 powerplants lifting Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) airliners into the sky exceeded 830,000 flight hours.
The SaM146 is an integrated power plant that includes an engine and a nacelle with a reversible device. The engine is produced by the Rybinsk PJSC "ODK-Saturn" (part of the United Engine Corporation of Rostekh) under the conditions of equal partnership with Safran Aircraft Engines (France). Deliveries of SaM146 and all after-sales services are provided by PowerJet (a joint venture based on the principles of equal partnership Safran Aircraft Engines and UDK-Saturn). The Russian DCC-Saturn is responsible for the design and manufacture of low pressure fan and compressor, low pressure turbine, general engine assembly and testing, Safran Aircraft Engines for high pressure compressor, combustion chamber, high pressure turbine, unit box, ACS and power plant integration .
The total operating time of the SaM146 power plants in operation in March 2018 exceeded 830,000 flight hours. The maximum operating time is fixed for engines operating in difficult climatic conditions: in hours - on the engine, the airline "Yakutia" (more than 8,800 flight hours), in cycles - on the engine of the Mexican airline Interjet (over 6,700 flight cycles). As of March 2018, 310 serial engines were shipped from the UDK-Saturn. Meanwhile, the past year of 2017 was a record-breaking one - customers received 76 SaM146 engines.
The SaM146 engine is certified according to EASA and AR MAC standards and since 2011 is in commercial operation as part of the SSJ100 aircraft. The main operators of the SSJ100 aircraft with SaM146 engines are the Aeroflot airline and the Mexican airline InterJet. A major customer is the leasing company GTLK, which supplies the SSJ100 aircraft with operational leasing to the Russian airlines Yamal, Iraaro, Yakutia, Azimut. In 2016, the delivery of SSJ100 aircraft to the first European customer, CityJet, began. Total aircraft SSJ100 with engines SaM146 are operated by 15 operators.
In April 2012, ODK-Saturn received the EASA production approval certificate, a year ago a similar certificate was received from the IAC AR. In March 2014, the company received an EASA certificate for the right to maintain and repair the SaM146 engine. Thus, DCC-Saturn is the first company in the country with a full range of competencies certified in Russia and in Europe for the development, serial production, maintenance and repair of civil aircraft engines
The engine SaM146, created on the basis of a combination of experience and new technologies of Russian and Western engines, fully meets modern environmental requirements. The optimized degree of double circuit and reduced speed of the fan made it possible to significantly reduce the noise from the running engine and provide a margin in relation to the ICAO standards. Chapter IV. The combustion chamber is designed in such a way that it guarantees a low level of polluting emissions, ensuring compliance with CAEP8 standards.
The reliability of the departure according to the schedule for the engine is 99.9%. This is achieved, including through the special design of the fan blades, the front cone, and the entire flow section. In addition, this design provides a high degree of protection and resistance to foreign objects. In general, the performance of the SaM146 is at a level higher than the average for this class of engines.
Within the framework of the customer support system that meets the world requirements, two distribution centers for spare parts have been set up and are functioning - in the Lytkarino suburbs and in Vilarosh (France). Such localization of warehouses allows delivering parts within a day to virtually anywhere in the world. There are two training centers for the training of airline technical personnel. A 24-hour customer support center, a Web portal, was created. Also, both parent companies are certified for the requirements of Russian and European aviation authorities for the maintenance and repair of engines in order to be able to provide appropriate services to operators. To support airlines, pools of spare engines and spare parts have also been created.
The twin-turbo twin-turbojet engine SaM146 is made in a design scheme with a single-stage fan, a three-stage low-pressure compressor, a six-stage high-pressure compressor, an annular combustion chamber, a single-stage high-pressure turbine and a three-stage low-pressure turbine. The engine management system is digital, with full responsibility (type FADEC). The SaM146 has a wide range of thrust control.
The power plant SaM146 is presented at the stand of the ODK within the framework of the International Forum of Engine Building (MFD-2018) held at VDNH in Moscow from April 4 to 6.
