It is created for wide-body long-haul aircraft
Alexander Inozemtsev, Managing Director and General Designer of UEC-Aviadvigatel JSC announced that the gas generator of the first Russian high-thrust engine PD-35 will be shown for the first time at the MAKS-2023 air show.
This power plant will have a takeoff thrust of 33 to 40 tons, it is planned to be used in wide-body long-haul aircraft and military transport aviation.

The PD-35 is a huge bypass turbofan engine. The diameter of its fan is 3.1 m. For comparison, the diameter of the fan of its “younger brother” – PD-14 for the MS-21 aircraft – is only 1.9 m. When creating the PD-35, composite materials are widely used. The total investment in the PD-35 project amounted to 180 billion rubles. The lead developer is UEC – Aviadvigatel, and the lead manufacturer is UEC – Perm Motors.
The PD-35 is a high-thrust turbofan engine being developed by Aviadvigatel, a Russian aerospace company. The engine is designed to have a thrust range of 24 to 40 tonnes (239 to 398 kN), making it one of the most powerful turbofan engines in development.

The PD-35 is intended to power a variety of large aircraft, including the CR929, a wide-body airliner being jointly developed by Russia and China. The engine is also being considered for use on other aircraft, such as the Ilyushin Il-96-400M, a long-range wide-body airliner, and the Antonov An-124, a strategic airlifter.
The PD-35 is still under development, and it is not yet clear when it will be certified for use on aircraft. However, the engine is making progress, and it is expected to be a major player in the market for large aircraft engines in the coming years.
Here are some of the key features of the PD-35 engine:
- High thrust: The PD-35 is designed to have a thrust range of 24 to 40 tonnes (239 to 398 kN), making it one of the most powerful turbofan engines in development.
- Large bypass ratio: The PD-35 has a large bypass ratio of 10:1, which means that it is very fuel-efficient.
- Advanced technologies: The PD-35 uses several advanced technologies, such as additive manufacturing, lightweight materials, and heat-resistant coatings.
- Wide range of applications: The PD-35 is being considered for use on a variety of large aircraft, including the CR929, the Ilyushin Il-96-400M, and the Antonov An-124.
The PD-35 is a major project for Aviadvigatel, and it is expected to be a major player in the market for large aircraft engines in the coming years.
