PD-8 Faces Similar Problems like the SaM-146 - the Rocky Road to SSJ-100 & Beriev BE-200 Takeoff!

Starting with the shortcomings of the SaM-146 engine, a joint venture with France, Russia has embarked on an ambitious project to create its own turbofan engine. The PD-8, initially conceived as the PD-7, is being developed with the goal of powering the Sukhoi Superjet SSJ-100 and Beriev Be-200 Altair aircraft. Despite facing numerous setbacks and delays, Russia remains determined to achieve import substitution in aviation. The video explores the technical challenges encountered in the PD-8's development, including issues with combustion chamber design and overall engine performance. It also highlights the significant investments made by the Russian government to support this critical project. PD-8V (PD-8B in Russian) is being created for the Mi-26 Helicopters. https://youtu.be/XtsON4fzYEs Be a Member for exclusive privileges - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCviEFTf1xIPKsjmyF_zvFug/join
