"Rostec raises the bar: in 2024, the corporation will produce 3118 aircraft engines
The United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of Rostec) in 2024 will increase the plan for the production of power plants for aircraft and helicopters.
This was stated by a representative of Rostec at the Russia Forum, which is taking place in Moscow.

According to the presentation, in 2024, the output volume is planned at 3118, which is twice as much as in 2021 (1417). Next year, UEC expects to hand over 3,763 power plants to customers.

This includes PD-8 engines for SJ-100 and MS-21 amolets, VK-1600V and VK-650V for Ka-62, Ka-226, TV7-117ST-01 helicopters for Il-114-300.

Earlier it was reported that serial production of the PD-14 will begin this year. The engine should replace foreign models of power plants with the MS-21 as part of the import substitution program. PD-8 engines were planned to be installed on Be-200 amphibious aircraft."

There was an article some years ago that Russia was investing in the company that manufactures the engines for missiles in order to raise its capabilities by some 30-fold. Yeah.

It says only what it says. These are engines only for airplanes and helicopters. This does not include engines for cruise missiles.

Russia has developed a UAV with a completely domestic flight controller, 02.03.2024.

In the Russian Federation, engineers have developed a UAV with a completely domestic flight controller.

MOSCOW, February 3 – RIA Novosti. Young Russian engineers have developed an unmanned aerial vehicle with a completely domestic controller, the NTI press service told RIA Novosti.

“A team of engineers from the youth design center of MSTU Stankin has developed a drone with a completely domestic controller for monitoring and delivering cargo in remote and hard-to-reach areas of the country,” the release says.

The center's team is working on creating a UAV with a vertical takeoff and landing system.
“We plan to reduce the contribution of the induced drag of the wings through the use of fresh research in the field of aerodynamics. Thanks to innovations, we plan to increase the payload mass or flight range by 20 percent compared to classical solutions at a comparable cost,” the press service quotes technician Semyon Korolev.

According to Korolev, the drone will be built from modern composite materials, and critically loaded parts will be made from aircraft alloys. The designed device is designed for a flight lasting more than four hours. When fully loaded, it will be able to cover about 250 kilometers, with a cruising speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Now the center is working on an experimental version of the drone, which will carry about a kilogram of cargo.

“The main distinguishing feature of our solution is the implementation of a flight controller using Russian electronic component base. Using a domestic solution has many advantages - from the availability of support and assistance in adapting the solution for a specific client drone, to advantages when assessed in the register of the Ministry of Industry and Trade ,” explained Korolev.

The team plans to bring a flight controller with a domestic element base to the market in the third quarter of 2024, the NTI press service clarified. The target audience of the development is residents of remote and hard-to-reach areas. Most of such territories are in Siberia and the North ; According to Rosstat , about 500 thousand people now live there. In addition, a drone for delivering goods may be in demand by specialists from the Ministry of Emergency Situations , the oil industry and in the field of geological exploration, Korolev added.

Specialists of the Ulan-Ude Instrument-Making Production Association (U-UPPO) of Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies have successfully completed factory tests of the latest electric motors for aircraft drones. During a working visit to Buryatia, the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District, Yuri Trutnev, got acquainted with the promising development.

The plenipotentiary was shown a new line of engines for unmanned aircraft systems, as well as electrostatic precipitators. Yuri Trutnev set the task to continue and strengthen work in this direction.

"The first experimental batch of modern electric motors has already passed factory tests, as well as tests as installed samples for the Storm-10 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicle. The products are made entirely of domestic components and, unlike foreign analogues, have a lower weight with a higher efficiency. The company is ready to put the entire line of products into production. For this, we have the necessary human resources and machine tools," said Vladimir Luchnikov, General Director of U-UPPO.

Today, the Ulan-Ude Instrument-Making Production Association is the only enterprise in Siberia and the Far East that develops a modern line of brushless, stepper electric motors and generators. Similar types of engines are used in the production of aircraft drones, in industry and mechanical engineering.

At the moment, the company has developed and is mastering the production of four types of electric motors, which were named in honor of the Baikal winds: "Sarma", "Khius", "Barguzin", "Kultuk". Each differs in a number of parameters, including power.

Specialists of the Sukhoi Design Bureau of the United Aircraft Corporation have successfully tested a prototype of a heavy unmanned vertical take-off and landing aircraft. In the course of tests on a complex flight stand made of domestic components, control algorithms and operation of takeoff, hovering and landing systems were tested.

Specialists of the Sukhoi Design Bureau are working on the creation of a fundamentally new unmanned non-aerodrome transport system (BTS-VAB) on an initiative basis. The new civilian drone does not require specially prepared sites and airfield infrastructure for takeoff and landing. It will make it possible to solve a wide range of transport and logistics problems, i.e. to deliver goods for various purposes to hard-to-reach settlements where the transport network is poorly developed or there are no airfields.

"Our unmanned aerial vehicle combines the advantages of an aircraft and the capabilities of a helicopter. The hybrid propulsion system includes an electric lifting propulsion system and a piston main engine. Vertical take-off and landing are carried out by means of lifting motors placed on the wing beams. After take-off, the gasoline engine comes into play. The wing increases fuel efficiency, and thanks to the possibility of vertical take-off, there is no need to build expensive airfield infrastructure and runways," said Evgeny Rubtsov, project manager of the BTS-WAB SUKHI Design Bureau of the United Aircraft Corporation.

Take-off, flight along the route and landing are carried out in fully automatic mode, without direct participation of the operator. However, in the event of an emergency, the operator has the option to change the route. The new unmanned transport system is being created for flights within a radius of 500 km from the point of permanent basing and will be capable of transporting up to 300 kg.

Successful flight tests of the vertical take-off control system make it possible to continue work on the project and ensure the possibility of operating a fundamentally new transport and logistics system.

At the moment, the BTS-PSA project is at the stage of testing key technologies and basic technical solutions. In the future, after the completion of the development of vertical take-off and landing algorithms on the integrated flight stand, it is planned to deploy work on the development and organization of industrial production.

The project is focused on public and private structures in the transport services market. The drone will be able to perform logistics, research and other tasks of any complexity in various regions of Russia, including the most inaccessible places.

Joker drones can carry 5 kg of explosives and fly at a speed of 100 km / h, military expert Viktor Litovkin told Izvestia on March 29.


According to him, the drone has two interesting features. First, it has a hibernator that allows you to disconnect its battery when the drone arrives at certain locations and lies down at predetermined points.

"In winter, it can lie down and wait for the command to blow it up for a week, in summer for a month. It can carry 5 kg of explosives and fly at a speed of 100 km/h," he said.

According to Litovkin, the second feature of the drone is an electric detonator, which can explode both from touching the drone, and from the fact that it is given a command, or from a set timer.

The expert noted that the UAV operator monitors what is happening around him, and if enemy units appear nearby, the drone is activated and hits the enemy. It is a time bomb. Litovski concluded that the mine in the drone is set to anti-handling devices, so if it is touched or the wires are cut, the drone will explode.

How the allocation of a special frequency for this will affect the safety and speed of cargo delivery
Earlier in the day, Denis Fedutinov, editor-in-chief of the specialized publication Unmanned Aviation, RIAC expert, shared his opinion on the drone with Izvestia. He noted that the device has the function of self-destruction in case of failure to complete the task, so that the enemy could not use the device for its subsequent analysis.

On February 29, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the need to reach a new level of army equipment. We are talking about the supply of drones, air defense systems, as well as high-precision weapons.

For the first time, the Kalashnikov Concern will present a complex with a SKAT Stingray 350 M at the exhibition of advanced technologies for ensuring the security of the individual, society and the state "Expotechnostrazh. Day of Advanced Technologies" in St. Petersburg from 3 to 5 April.

It should be noted that the Stingray 350 M is effectively used by units of the Russian Guard in the NWO zone. For example, in March, the special forces of the Russian Guard detected and ensured the destruction of the RM-70 Vampire MLRS of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the help of a stingray UAV, which, being in the Kharkiv region, was preparing to shell Belgorod. The coordinates of the enemy's MLRS were promptly transmitted to the Russian Ministry of Defense. As a result of a missile strike, the installation was critically damaged and disabled, the crew was partially destroyed.

In addition to UAVs, the concern's exposition will present a wide range of products of the holding's enterprises: modern models of military and civilian small arms, marine equipment, high-potential solutions in the field of dynamic protection, a total of 30 items.

"Rosgvardia is our traditional, reliable, proven and extremely important partner," said Alan Lushnikov, President of Kalashnikov Concern JSC. "Therefore, we use every opportunity to maintain contacts between us: the National Guard informs us about new tasks, and we, for our part, offer prompt and effective solutions for them."
