As the general designer of the company Pavel Chupin said, work is now underway on a two-shaft
According to the press service of the university,preliminary studies have shown that the use of a methane-hydrogen mixture with a hydrogen content of 40–50% will increase the capacity of a gas turbine unit by about 10%.
An experimental model combustion chamber will be manufactured on a 3D printer in the additive technologies laboratory.
In the future, the new engine can be used for promising long-range and military transport aircraft.
Where it will be possible to use the engine and electrical installations:
- in promising aircraft,
- long-range and military transport aviation,
- at large industrial enterprises,
- for heat and power supply of small towns or residential areas of megalopolises.
The project on a promising gas generator is nowdesigned until the end of 2022. The development of the technical design of the combustion chamber of the gas turbine unit is expected to be completed in 2023, after which a prototype will be manufactured at an industrial enterprise.
