GENERAL INFORMATION (3 PRODUCTS)
Auxiliary power units (turbine starters) are designed for starting, dry motoring, preservation and depreservation of main engines. They can also supply electric and hydraulic power to various aircraft units on the ground while the main engines are idle.
- The GTDE-117 gas-turbine engine (turbine starter) is designed for starting the main RD-33 and AL-31 engines installed on Mig-29 and Su-27 aircraft families.
- The VK-100 model with a higher air consumption, pressure ratio and efficiency was developed as a turbine starter for high altitude aerodromes where it is recommended as a replacement for the standard GTDE-117.
- The new VK-150 APU was designed for engines that require a more robust starter and power generator. It can be used as a starter for RD-33, AL-31 engines and their versions like the VK-150 model.
