Russian engines for industry and transport

Engines for civil and military aviation

An aircraft engine (aircraft engine, aircraft engine) is basically a heat engine installed on aircraft as an element of an aircraft power plant that realizes the traction force necessary for flight within the atmosphere.

Aviation engines, based on the method of generating thrust, are divided into three groups: screw, jet, combined.

Aviation engines are subject to special requirements in terms of reliability, specific power or thrust-to-weight ratio, specific fuel consumption, as well as overall dimensions and shape.

Engines for space, rocket engines

A rocket engine is a jet engine that does not use either energy or working fluid from the environment for its operation. A rocket engine is a installation that has an energy source and a supply of working fluid and is designed to produce thrust by converting any type of energy into the kinetic energy of the working fluid. The rocket engine is the only practically mastered method of launching a payload into orbit around the Earth.

A characteristic of the efficiency of a rocket engine is specific impulse - the ratio of the amount of momentum received by the rocket engine to the mass of the expended working fluid.

Engines for sea and river vessels

The use of a gas turbine engine makes it possible to dramatically increase the power of the power plant with less weight, but at the expense of higher operating costs.

A marine gas turbine engine powers the ship and also provides consumers with thermal and electrical energy. Its main components are a gas turbine, a combustion chamber and a compressor.

Typically, gas turbine engines are installed on naval ships, container ships and large tankers.

Engines for power plants and gas pumping installations

Gas turbine engines are used as a drive for gas pumping units and electrical units of gas turbine power plants.

To transport gas through main gas pipelines, gas pumping units with gas turbine aircraft and marine engines, as well as electric engines, are used. The most common drive is the gas turbine.

A turboshaft gas turbine engine can be used to drive an electric generator in power plants based on one or more such engines. Such a power plant can have an electrical capacity from twenty kilowatts to hundreds of megawatts.
