Russia’s United Engine is piloting a comprehensive IT system designed to streamline aftersales support across its full range of domestically produced aircraft engines.
The innovative digital platform automates engine maintenance workflows, monitors critical operating parameters, and provides operators with access to the latest technical documentation, enhancing real-time operational efficiency.
This platform forms part of an integrated aftersales ecosystem aimed at supporting the upcoming entry-into-service of key Russian aircraft models, including the Yakovlev MC-21 and Sukhoi SJ-100, whose initial deliveries are slated for 2026.
The system supports engines such as the Aviadvigatel PD-14 and PD-8 powering these twinjets, as well as the Klimov TV7-117ST for the Ilyushin Il-114-300, and the UZGA TVRS-44 Ladoga.
State technology conglomerate Rostec confirmed that the software has undergone successful testing at United Engine and its key subsidiaries—including Aviadvigatel, Klimov, Perm Motors, and Saturn.
Rostec Deputy Director General Alexander Nazarov explained the software is currently in pilot operation, with ongoing development to enhance its functionalities and better integrate it with United Engine’s existing systems.
He added, “We plan to introduce predictive diagnostics to prevent critical engine failures. The updated system will also forecast spare parts demand and production capacity needs.”
Maxim Ishchenko, United Engine’s Service Director, emphasized that the platform operates on a ‘one-stop shop’ principle, creating a unified information environment to streamline collaboration between the company and its customers.
“The system’s architecture and capabilities meet modern international standards,” he noted.
In parallel, United Engine is advancing domestic software solutions for designing polymer composite components for the PD-14 engine. The KOMPAS-Kompozit system, developed in partnership with Russian IT firm ASCON, supports the strategic replacement of foreign software with Russian alternatives.
Vyacheslav Khristolyubov, United Engine’s Director of Digital Transformation, highlighted that this initiative strengthens technological sovereignty in engine manufacturing.
“The software accelerates design processes and improves the quality of engine parts,” he said, underscoring the role of digital innovation in advancing Russia’s aerospace industry.
