ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF ENGINES FOR AIRPLANES AND HELICOPTERS

The quality and reliability of aero engines manufactured by this company have been proven by their long-term operation on both the aircraft and rotorcraft in more than 100 countries globally.

Today, the list of their engines (they commercially produce and have at various stages of development engines to power passenger, cargo and military transport aircraft and rotorcraft) includes turboprop and turbopropfan engines of 400 to 14,000 hp, as well as bypass engines of 1,500 to 23,400 kgf thrust including the D-18T engines powering Ruslan and Mriya, the two world's largest cargo aircraft.

We outline the D-436-148 aero engine from the propulsion engine family powering An-148 family passenger aircraft. The engine meets up-to-date ICAO requirements, whereas its performance is on par with similar foreign engines. Technical teams from IvchenkoProgress SE and MOTOR SICH JSC are now designing the D-436-148FM engine for An-178 cargo aircraft (lifting capacity 16 to 18 tons), with the engine take-off thrust increased to 7,900 kg, and the maximum emergency thrust of 8,790 kgf due to more efficient engine components.

But sensible and easy steps can be taken, especially in the maritime sphere, to integrate the Coast Guard, Air Force, and Navy into a potent force to safeguard the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, argues AMIT GUPTA
