United Engine Corporation showcases the latest solutions for airplanes, helicopters and UAV at the Airshow China 2024 The world premiere of the 177S fifth generation engine will take place in China. It is a high-performance engine that increases tactical aircraft flight range. 

The latest 177S engine for tactical aircraft has improved performance and is a fifth generation engine. Reduced fuel consumption in all operation conditions makes it possible to cut the operating expenses. In addition, the engine provides increased power supply to the avionic systems of modern aircraft. The propulsion also increases their range. 

UEC’s exposition also first demonstrates full-size mockups of the AL-31FN Series 5 and SM-100 engines. They use technologies and materials typical of fifth generation engines. 

The AL-31F/FN/FP family engines for multi-role fighters have received upgraded appearance — Series 5. The new AL-31FN engine version is designed especially for single engine aircraft and features increased reliability. The engine will expand the aircraft range and altitude potential. This is ensured by a takeoff thrust increased up to 14 000 kgf and fuel consumption reduced by 6%. 

At the exhibition, UEC showcases a full-size mockup of the new VK-1600V engine for medium helicopters and the TV7-117ST-01 turboprop for regional aircraft.
