Video: Experimental Aircraft with VK-800 Engine Completes First Test Flight in Russia

SDT UK

The Yak-40 flying laboratory, operated by the Siberian Aeronautical Research Institute (SibNIA) and named after S.A. Chaplygin, has successfully completed its maiden test flight using the VK-800 turboprop engine, developed by JSC "UZGA" (Ural Civil Aviation Plant).  During the experimental flight, engineers evaluated the engine’s performance under various operating conditions. The aircraft remained airborne for approximately 15 minutes, reaching an altitude of 700 metres and a top speed of 340 km/h. According to the test engineers, the VK-800 operated stably throughout all phases — taxiing, take-off, cruising, and landing.  Source and images: SibNIA | Telegram @AviaCT

00:00I love you, I love you, I love you

00:30In the first flight, the operation of the plane, the engine, the temperature, the

00:54the geometry of the hydraulic system, the electric system,

00:57the correct work of the equipment,

01:00after which is a reference of the control of the apparatus.

01:05The parameters are determined by the internal work of the engine,

01:09the pressure of the engine and so on.

01:13Given that the engine in general will be used on one-wheel drive,

01:18this is the LMS-901 Baikal, this is the UTS-800,

01:21also the L410 or the Asway,

01:24this is a two-wheel drive.

01:26The use of this engine on such vehicles

01:29is that it is a danger to cause any delay.

01:33Therefore, it is absolutely logical,

01:35that this engine is first set on the YAK-40,

01:39which has three braking stations,

01:42and, depending on the ability of the VK-800,

01:48allows us the horizontal flight,

01:50the exit to the landing, the number of heights,

01:52and other things.

01:53Therefore, this is a stand of natural experiences

01:56in the conditions of real flight of the engine,

01:59one-wheel drive.

02:01If there's a test secret

02:06that supply of the through parts

02:07within a wide range,

02:08God bless you again.
