In the introductory part of the article, it is provided brief information about the main activity of JSC “Element”- developer and manufacturer of electronic control systems for aircraft engines, in particular unit RDTs-450M for AI-450M helicopter turboshaft gas turbine engines, created by SE “Ivchenko-Progress”. JSC ”Element”, together with its partners - SE “Ivchenko-Progress” and  JSC “Motor-Sich” – for more than 10 years involved in the modernization of Mi-2 light helicopter.In the next section is gave the classification of helicopters, as well as a segment of light helicopters with turbine engines. It is outlined the scope of light helicopters. It is noted that the segment of light helicopters with turbine engines – the most popular in the world market of civil helicopters and provides a forecast of the supply of these helicopters for the next 10 years.Lists the world's major developers and manufacturers of light helicopters, and the technical characteristics of 12 models of light helicopters with turbine engines are depicted. It is noted that most helicopter models are not entirely new developments and have been modernized over many years. The characteristic design features of light helicopters with turbine engines, especially the layout of plant and equipment are depicted. There is a trend of using one model of helicopter multiple engine types.Lists the world's major developers and manufacturers of engines for light helicopters, as well as the technical characteristics of the six models of gas turbine engines are depicted. The main structural and compositional features of gas-turbine engines of different manufacturers and types of a helicopter on which they installed are described. Separately, brief information about the Ukrainian gas-turbine engines: AI-450M and MS-500V. It is noted that all, without exception, mentioned in the article, engines are equipped with a digital single or dual-channel FADEC type control system with hydro-mechanical redundancy.Brief information about individual conceptual samples of rotary-wing technology introduced in recent years is given. The main directions of work in the field of helicopter engines are described.In conclusion, the Ukrainian helicopter and Aero-engine industry are in a difficult economic situation, but remain competitive and require assistance and the expansion of the market.

With the increasing need for more efficient industrial gas turbine engines, the recuperated engine cycle is being considered as a means of meeting these needs. This paper discusses a recuperated cycle design that is optimized to take full advantage of the recuperator but at the same time accommodate the real world market constraints of reliability, durability and cost. Current simple cycle industrial engines are evolving to very high pressure ratios and high firing temperatures in order to reach cycle efficiencies in the 37% to 39% range. Some simple cycle industrial gas turbines with lower cycle pressure ratios and firing temperatures have been modified so a recuperated option can be added. Although the addition of a recuperator to these engines does improve cycle efficiency, levels of only the 33% to 35% range are reached. This is mainly due to the fact that the resulting cycles are not optimized for a recuperator. An engine cycle that is optimized around a recuperator could obtain cycle efficiencies in the 43% to 45% range. Fortunately, this cycle optimizes at low pressure ratios and modest firing temperatures which results in lower cost components which tend to offset the additional cost of the recuperator.

The article contains the results of the metrological examination and research of the accuracy indicators of a method for diagnosing aircraft gas turbine engines of the D30KU/KP family using an ultra-high-frequency plasma complex. The results of metrological examination of a complete set of regulatory documents related to the diagnostic methodology, and an analysis of the state of metrological support are provided as well. During the metrological examination, the traceability of a measuring instrument (diagnostics) – an ultrahigh-frequency plasma complex – is evaluated based on the scintillation analyzer SAM-DT-01–2. To achieve that, local verification schemes from the state primary standards of the corresponding types of measurements were built. The implementation of measures to eliminate inconsistencies identified during metrological examination allows to reduce to an acceptable level the metrological risks of adverse situations when carrying out aviation activities in industry and air transportation. In addition, the probability of occurrence of errors of the first and second kind in the technological processes of tribodiagnostics of aviation gas turbine engines is reduced when implementing a method that has passed metrological examination in real practice. At the same time, the error in determining ratings and wear indicators provides acceptable accuracy indicators and sufficient reliability in assessing the technical condition of friction units of the D-30KP/KP2/KU/KU-154 aircraft engines.

The paper gives a brief review of properties and applications of developed extra-hard nanostructured composite materials and coatings based on them. The presentresearch suggestsaerospace applications of nanostructured composite materials based on carbides, carbonitrides and diboridesof transition and refractory metals. To improve the technical and economic performance of gas turbine engines, it is advisable to use new composite structural materials whose basic physicomechanical properties are several times superior to traditional ones. The greatest progress in developing new composites should be expected in the area of materials created on the basis of polymer, metal, intermetallic and ceramic matrices. Currently components and assemblies of gas turbine engines and multiple lighting power units with long operation life and durability will vigorously develop. Next-generation composites are studied in all developed countries, primarily in the United States and Japan.

The increased demand for high performance gas turbine engines has resulted in a continuous search for new base materials and coatings. With the significant developments in nickel-based superalloys, the quest for developments related to thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems is increasing rapidly and is considered a key area of research. Of key importance are the processing routes that can provide the required coating properties when applied on engine components with complex shapes, such as turbine vanes, blades, etc. Despite significant research and development in the coating systems, the scope of electrodeposition as a potential alternative to the conventional methods of producing bond coats has only been realised to a limited extent. Additionally, their effectiveness in prolonging the alloys’ lifetime is not well understood. This review summarises the work on electrodeposition as a coating development method for application in high temperature alloys for gas turbine engines and discusses the progress in the coatings that combine electrodeposition and other processes to achieve desired bond coats. The overall aim of this review is to emphasise the role of electrodeposition as a potential cost-effective alternative to produce bond coats. Besides, the developments in the electrodeposition of aluminium from ionic liquids for potential applications in gas turbines and the nuclear sector, as well as cost considerations and future challenges, are reviewed with the crucial raw materials’ current and future savings scenarios in mind.
