National recognition of the domestic aircraft engine.
The engineers of our UEC, who developed the PD-8 aircraft engine, became winners of the annual "Made in Russia - 2026" award, organized by the "Snob" communication project. Based on the results of the open vote, the project was recognized as the best in the science and technology category.
We will remind you that the engine was created for the Superjet passenger plane that was replaced by imports and the amphibious rescue plane Be-200.
During the development process, 25 critical technologies were used, of which 17 were presented for the first time.
In June 2026, the PD-8 received a type certificate. In August, serial deliveries of engines to Superjet began.
The UEC emphasized that the award is, first of all, recognition of the work of thousands of designers, technologists, workers and testers.
