Fan and compressor

The fan and the compressor increase air pressure inside the engine.

Main requirements:

  • low air consumption, high efficiency, stability of pressure
  • reliability
  • long service life
  • resilience to ingested foreign objects

Our experience: The RD-33 turbojet engine fan and compressor feature a high capacity for stable operation in a variety of stationary and transient modes under a wide range of ambient conditions such as air pressure and temperature, thus contributing to the excellent gas dynamic stability of the power plant as a whole.

Further improvements: To reduce the number of stages, simplify design and reduce weight while maintaining the current performance (compression ratio and efficiency) by taking advantage of modern engineering methods, materials and technologies.
