PD-14 - the main engine of Russia


A little long (30 minutes), but well done. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, their jet engine business fell into a coma. They didn't start developing this motor until 2008. It took a dozen years to develop it but now it is flying. No wonder Putin is so popular at home.

  1. Gee, that looks like a CFM-56. What a coincidence. Who does Russia thank, the Clintons, Bidens, or Obama?

  2. Don't underestimate the Russians. Remember, they put up Sputnik.
