tude of 5 km for 9 minutes only, which means 2.5-time increase in rate of climb. On 19 May 2010, Mi-8MTV helicopter powered by TV3-117VMA-SBM1V engines took off from the airfield of Konotop aircraft repair and overhaul plant. The helicopter climbed to the altitude of 8,100 m for 13 seconds in the course of tests, with the world’s record set up. Taking into consideration changes of the world helicopter market conditions, the company is undertaking efforts to develop a new generation of MS-500V family engines of 600–1,000 hp power class, which are intended for utility helicopters whose take off weight is 3.5-6 t. As experts predict, the market sector of this class helicopters is going to be one of the most promising one in the coming up years due to helicopter versatility. A leading version of MS-500V model line is going to be an engine of takeoff power of 630 hp designed according to requirements specification by Kazan Helicopters JSC for Ansat type helicopter. Simple and effective design of MS-500V family engine is typical for engines of this class currently available. The core engine includes a one-step centrifugal compressor with high compression ratio, an annular reverse flow combustor, and a one-step turbine. Power developed by the one-step free turbine is transmitted to the main helicopter reduction gear through an integrated intermediate reduction gear. The engine possesses an advanced electronic control and monitoring system with hydromechanical redundancy. Currently, development efforts are undertaken by Ivchenko-Progress design bureau within AI-8000V engine project that is to be implemented along with Motor Sich JSC. The engine power is 8,250 hp at takeoff power setting and 9,300 hp at emergency power setting. The engine is intended for heavy cargo helicopters and utility helicopters of Mi-46 type. D-136 engine is the largest helicopter engine by Motor Sich JSC. It provides power of 11,400 hp at takeoff power setting at environment temperature of 15°С and it has an unrivalled position in the world in terms of this parameter. D-136 engine is operated at Mi-26, the world’s largest heavy-lift helicopter. Currently, Ivchenko-Progress design bureau is designing D-136 engine upgrade project. A new engine has been designated AI-136T1, and it is to provide power of 11,650 hp at maximum takeoff power setting; the power specified is to be kept up to envi- Mi-24 TV3-117VMA-SBM1V промышленность industry | company | итоги Mi-26T ronment temperature of 50°С. Emergency power setting has been introduced to provide power of 12,500 hp. AI-136T1 engine is intended to upgrade Mi-26 helicopters and to power new heavy-lift helicopters. A wide range of helicopter engines manufactured and prospective ones makes it possible to implement virtually any project of developing a new helicopter or re-motorising the ones available. Developing multipurpose unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is considered one of the most prospective trends in the development of military aviation. Motor Sich JSC manufactured engines make it possible to develop UAVs and missiles of various types and purposes: from small UAVs powered by MS-100 engine to unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAVs) powered by versions of AI-25TL and AI-222 engine families, as well as strategic UAVs powered by AI-22 type engines. To summarise, it is pertinent to say that aeronautical propulsion industry of Ukrain can offer a wide range of engines that meet requirements of the international regulations. Developed and introduced by Motor Sich JSC, its advanced technical and design solutions are based on state-of-the-art achievements of science and technology. Close collaboration with designers and multiple partners allows the company to develop engines that assure the future of air transport. Motor Sich JSC 15, Motorostroiteley av.

Andrey Fomin industry | report AMPHIBIAN CHANGES ITS PLACE OF ORIGIN Be-200 series production in Taganrog kicks off Among the displays at the current Le Bourget air show, there is to be the Be-200ChS amphibian aircraft brought to Paris by its developer and manufacturer Beriev company. The full-rate production and sales of the Be-200 amphibian is a priority for Beriev, even more so that new prospects are facing the programme now. In September 2010, the Be-200ES-E was issued its long-awaited type certificate by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which paved the way to the Western market for it. Very recently, on 25 May 2011, the Russian Emergencies Ministry awarded Beriev a long-term order for six more Be-200ChS amphibians, with the aircraft to be built in Taganrog this time. Beriev launched manufacture of parts for its own production-standard Be-200ChS amphibians. The baseline model of Beriev Be-200 is designed to put out forest fires using water or flame extinguisher liquid. It has spawned the Be-200ChS derivative for the Russian Emergencies Ministry, the launch customer for the amphibian. Under the contract awarded by the Emergencies Ministry, the Irkutsk Aircraft Plant, a subsidiary of the Irkut corporation, made and delivered four production amphibians from 2003 through 2006, while the fifth aircraft made in 2007 was exported a year later to Azerbaijan where it has been in service with the Azeri Emergencies Ministry ever since. In the wake of the forest fires raging all over Russia last summer, the Russian government decided to beef up the air arm of the Emergencies Ministry with more Be-200ChS amphibians. An agreement on delivery of eight more Be-200ChS’s to the ministry was signed in a ceremony during the Gydroaviasalon show in Gelenjik in September 2010. The agreement provided at Phase I for Beriev to bring the <strong>two</strong> previously-ordered final aircraft under construc- 20 take-off june 2011 tion in Irkutsk up to snuff with the requirements specifications and deliver them and then launch deliveries of Be-200ChS of its own make. The sixth production-standard Be-200ChS (c/n 301) made its maiden flight in Irkutsk in July last year and was ferried to Taganrog last August. Now, it is sitting in a Beriev assembly shop, receiving customerapproved improvements that were applied to the previously-acquired Emergencies Ministry amphibians as part of scheduled overhauls after they had kicked off their <strong>operations</strong>. The final, seventh Irkut-built Be-200ChS (c/n 302) was completed this spring: its maiden flight took place in the city of Irkutsk on 3 April, and the aircraft was ferried to Taganrog the same month to be given the same improvements Aircraft 301 is being given prior to the delivery. Both aircraft are to enter service with the Emergency Ministry’s air branch until late November 2011 under the governmental contract signed last November. Alexander MANYAKIN, Andrey FOMIN Construction of the remaining Be-200ChS’s will be handled by Beriev that has since April this year been a single company uniting the previously independent TAVIA production plant and Beriev company proper situated on the same premises. For the purpose of construction, part of the production tools has been moved from Irkutsk to Taganrog, new assembly jigs have been made and cutting-edge processing centres and other high-tech gear have been imported. The governmental contract for six production Be-200ChS amphibians to be made and delivered to the Emergencies Ministry prior to 2014 was signed on 25 May 2011. The aircraft shall be fielded with air units of the Siberian and Far Eastern regional centres of the Emergencies Ministry. The first Taganrog-built aircraft is to be complete in the second quarter of 2013. Overall, Beriev is to manufacture three Be-200ChS’s in 2013, according to Director General – General Designer Victor Kobzev. Three more aircraft are to be made in 2014 under the order the Emergencies Ministry placed recently. The first export Be-200ES-E is to be completed at the same time. Victor Kobzev said the plans provided for an increase in the Taganrog output up to six Be-200ChS aircraft a year with a possible subsequent increase up to 10–12 units per annum. According to the Beriev head, there may be demand for 30–35 aircraft of the type in Europe alone, www.take-off.ru
