Experts of the A.Lyulka Design Bureau of the Ufa Engine-Building Production Association (“ODK-UMPO”) are developing a universal engine for several types of fighters. This was announced by the managing director of the enterprise Yevgeny Semivelichenko.

According to him, OKB is developing a single engine, which can be installed on fighters without modifying the airframe. We are talking about Su-27 fighters, Su-30 and Su-35. The order for the development of a unified engine came from the Ministry of Defense, planned, that the introduction of a single propulsion system will reduce the costs of the military department. At the same time, Semivelichenko did not give any details on the work carried out and the approximate characteristics of the new engine..

Today we are considering the possibility of creating a kind of universal engine using the AL-41F-1C units, as well as components of other previous engines. This is a kind of universal engine, which is capable of being installed on the Su-27, Su-30 and Su-35. There is such an order from the Ministry of Defense, we are doing this work
– he said.

Aircraft engine AL-41F-1S (product 117С) – two-shaft by-pass turbojet engine of modular design with thrust vector control. The engine uses a new low pressure compressor with increased air consumption and efficiency, as well as a new turbine with a more efficient blade cooling system. Installed on Su-35S fighters. Currently OKB “Dry” leads R&D work to create a modernized version of the Su-30 – Su-30SMD, which will also receive the AL-41F-1S engine.
