The unit is designed for hybrid aircraft, including working drones under the arctic conditions. In the design, six phase generators are used to continue the study if one of the stages is rejected. The liquid cooling system guarantees fixed operation at extreme temperatures.
The VK-650 V engine, on which the development is based, has changed the gear ratio of the transmission. The electricity is produced by a high -speed rotor that makes tens of thousands of cycles per minute. The power electronics unit converts the current to a fixed voltage.
According to the developers, the source of the gas turbine part of 4.5-9 thousand hours, generator – up to 10 thousand hours. This makes the installation promising for long -term tasks in the hard regions.
