UEC presented Be-200 amphibious aircraft remotorization project with SaM146
engine at Hydroaviasalon-2018 in Gelendzhik
Gelendzhik, September, 2018
Press release
The United Engine Corporation (part of Rosteh State Corporation), within the
framework of the 12th International Exhibition "Hydroaviasalon-2018" in
Gelendzhik, held a presentation of the Be-200 amphibian re-engraving project
with the Russian-French power plant SaM146.
SaM146 is an integrated power plant, which includes a turbofan engine and a
nacelle with a reversing device. SaM146 is produced by PJSC "UEC-Saturn"
(Rybinsk) under the conditions of equal partnership with Safran Aircraft
Engines for equipping Sukhoi Superjet 100 passenger planes. The SaM146 and
all after-sales services are provided by PowerJet (a joint venture founded
by Safran Aircraft Engines and PAO "UEC-Saturn"). PJSC "UEC-Saturn" is
responsible for the development and manufacture of low pressure fan and
compressor, low pressure turbine, general engine assembly and testing,
Safran Aircraft Engines for high pressure compressor, combustion chamber,
high pressure turbine, unit box, automatic control system, integration power
plant and flight tests.
In May 2018, UEC-Saturn and Safran Aircraft Engines concluded a framework
agreement at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on the
development of a modification of the SaM146 engine for the re-engineered
version of the Be-200. The companies agreed to carry out a major revision of
the software of the digital automatic control system of the SaM146 engine in
service to integrate it with the Be-200 aircraft and further certification
of the remotorized version.
Implementation of the Be-200 remotorization project, within the framework of
which it is planned to develop and certify a new modification of the power
plant, will enable the Be-200ChS aircraft to bring the Be-200ChS aircraft to
the European and American markets;
* In general, strengthen the position of the Russian aviation industry in
foreign markets.
The key advantages of the SaM146 powerplant are:
* Simple and reliable design;
* International certification and compliance with ICAO's forward-looking
requirements;
* Extensive and developed international customer service network;
* Competitive price and cost of the life cycle;
* High environmental standards (noise, emissions) in the regional jet
market;
* Providing perspective levels of fuel economy;
* Low maintenance costs.
The reliability of the departure according to the schedule for the SaM146
engine is 99.9%. In general, the performance of the SaM146 is at a level
higher than the average for this class of engines. The engine with great
success is operated in extreme climatic conditions - at extremely low / high
temperatures. Thanks to the SaM146, the SSJ100 is able to land and take off
in any natural and climatic conditions. At the same time, a number of
operators operate the engine very intensively - up to 9 hours a day.
The SaM146 engine is certified according to EASA and AR MAC standards and
since 2011 is in commercial operation as part of the SSJ100 aircraft. PJSC
"UEC-Saturn" is the first company in the country with a full range of
competencies certified in Russia and in Europe for the development, serial
production, maintenance and repair of civil aircraft engines.
The engine SaM146, created on the basis of a combination of experience and
new technologies of Russian and Western engines, fully meets modern
environmental requirements. The optimized degree of double circuit and
reduced speed of the fan made it possible to significantly reduce the noise
from the running engine and provide a margin in relation to the ICAO
standards. Chapter IV. The combustion chamber is designed in such a way that
it guarantees a low level of polluting emissions, ensuring compliance with
CAEP / 8. The SaM146 is made in a design scheme with a single-stage fan, a
three-stage low-pressure compressor, a six-stage high-pressure compressor,
an annular combustion chamber, a single-stage high-pressure turbine and a
three-stage low-pressure turbine. The engine management system is digital,
with full responsibility (FADEC). The SaM146 has a wide range of thrust
control.
The power plant SaM146 is represented by the UEC at the exhibition
"HydroaviaSalon-2018".
