Engine ÒV2-117

Aviation engines ÒV2-117À and ÒV2-117 are designed to be operated in helicopters ÌI-8. Technical characteristics and performance of ÒV2-117À and ÒV2-117 engines correspond to up-to-date technical requirements, applied to this class of engines.
Engine’s singularity is the presence of free turbine in them (screw turbine) for engine power transfer to gearbox VR-8.
Free turbine cinematically is not connected with turbocompressor part of engine. Propulsion system of a helicopter includes two engines and VR-8. In case of need, one engine’s power is enough for flight continuation. Right and left engines are interchangeable on condition of exhaust manifold turn. A helicopter can operate on engines TV2-117 and ÒV2-117 À . In order to replace one engine by another no extra work is required. Joint operation of engines ÒV2-117 è ÒV2-117À is permitted on one helicopter. Engines on a helicopter are jointed to one main gearbox VR-8, which transfer power form engines to main rotor and tail rotor. The propulsion system of a helicopter has the system of automatic control for main rotor’s turns and synchronization of power of both engines. Every engine has separate systems: of lubrication, of fueling, of regulation, of anti-icing, and can operate on a helicopter without assistance of the second engine.

Engine ÒV3-117
A Turbine shaft engine ÒÂ3-117 is designed to be operated in helicopters. It is one of the best engines in the world if take into account efficiency in its class of engines, achieved due to high efficiency output of main assembly units (compressor efficiency is equal to 86%, compressor turbine efficiency - 91%, free turbine efficiency - 96%). Values of specific fuel rate and specific weight are in correspondence with best international standards.
Engine has great gas-dynamic stability margins. In engine’s design new advanced technologies were applied:
  • titanium compressor rotor, bonded out of separate discs by means of electron-beam welding;
  • titanium-alloy compressor blades and vanes, produced by methods of cool expander;
  • contact graphite seals in oil chambers;
  • the electronic- hydromechanical control system is used for latest up-to-date versions and so on.

  • The engine has long life, high reliability, good serviceability and reparability.
    Another application of Engine ÒV3-117: in addition to helicopters, it can be used in different water-crafts, as a drive of generators and compressors of oil-gas-transfer stations. In jet variant (without free turbine module) the engine can be applied for the purpose of exhaust jet drying of livestock’s houses, buildings under construction, blowing off snow and ice from main roads, railroads, airfields.

    Turbofan engine NÊ-8-2(U)

    Mainline jet aircrafts ÒU-154 and ÒU-154 À are operated on engines NÊ-8-2 and NÊ-8-2U. The main distinction features of ÒU-154 À from its predecessor is replacement of an engine NÊ-8-2 with takeoff thrust of 9500 kgf by an engine NÊ-8-2U with larger takeoff thrust. Turbofan engine NÊ -8-2U represents a two-circuit, two-stage, gas-turbine engine with mixture of flows of air and gas. This engine is a version of an engine NÊ-8-2, it has high thrust, reduced fuel rate, and increased rod of reversing gear. At takeoff and cruise rates an engine NÊ-8-2U has high gas-dynamic stability margin. An engine NÊ-8-2U is installed with warning system of critical temperature of bearings ÑÒÏ -3 and limitation system of temperature of outlet gases ÐÒ -12-9 ÀÒ. In oil system, in line of oil evacuation from supports there are magnetic plugs, due to which state of rotor supports can be defined. Works, aimed to increase reliability of assembly units and their life time, are applied for engines. Two external engine – the first and the third – are installed into easy-off gondolas on horizontal pylons, and the second engine is installed into internal gondolas inside fuselage. In order to improve landing characteristics of an aircraft, external engines are installed with reverse rods. For the purpose of serviceability all units are situated in low part of an engine. Length and quantity of turbopipes are maximally reduced.

    Engine GTD-350

    An Engine GTD-350 was designed in the early sixties for a lightweight multipurpose helicopter ÌI-2 and was put into full-scale production by the polish enterprise “WSK-Rzeszow ”, where it is produced until now. On the basis of this engine some prototype aviation and transport versions were made: for aircrafts À n-14 Ì and Be-30, helicopters MI-20, racing cars (Gorkovskij motor-car factory), hydrofoil boats (Leningradskij SRI of shipbuilding industry), driving railway vehicle (Scientific and research institute (SRI) of rail transport) and so on.
