Specialists of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM) of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk have presented a technology for restoring engine blades of Airbus and Boeing aircrafts. The innovative development, which will be used at the Berd Electromechanical Plant (BEP) by the end of 2024, promises to solve the problem of servicing the engines of these aircraft in Russia. This is reported by TASS.
Academician Vasily Fomin, the scientific head of IMPA, shared details of the developed method of aircraft engine repair. He noted that the airline S7, together with ITAM, managed to build two plants in a year and obtain the necessary permits for the introduction of this technology. For this purpose, BEP, located near Novosibirsk, was acquired, where the blade remanufacturing will be implemented.
Fomin also specified that IMPA has already developed a material close to the one used in the blades of Airbus and Boeing engines, and it is ready for use. Pilot samples have been produced and they have shown good results. The new technology makes it possible to restore burnt and cracked blades, which is relevant for domestic civil aviation, given the sanctions pressure that makes it impossible to service these engines abroad.
Production of Airbus and Boeing engine blades is not available in Russia, so restoration is becoming an integral part of A and B aircraft maintenance. Russian scientists and engineers were able to successfully solve this problem. The technology developed by IMPA will not only save money on the purchase of new blades, but will also ensure safe operation of foreign aircraft in Russia.
