Ka-62 completes takeoff with Ardiden 3G
Citat:Since its first ground run in April 2013, extensive engines testing demonstrated the 3G's performance at Bordes (France). All development and performance tests were completed, and the engine will obtain type-certification in 2016. The Ardiden 3G has already demonstrated 20 percent class fuel consumption improvement over engines operating in the same power range.
One of the 1,700 to 2,000 shaft horse-power Ardiden 3 engine family, the Ardiden 3G features a remarkably compact modular architecture. The gas generator module comprises two centrifugal stages attached to a reverse-flow combustion chamber, a single-stage gas generator turbine, a two-stage power turbine and dual channel FADEC. This design ensures cost-effectiveness, particularly in terms of maintenance and cost-of-ownership with a TBO of over 5,000 hours at entry-into-service.
