UEC-Saturn PD-8
Active UEC-Saturn PD-8 two-spool turbofan model with Rosaviatsiya type certification issued in June 2026. Rostec identifies UEC-Saturn as prime designer and manufacturer, reports 8 tons of takeoff thrust (stored here as the derived 78.453 kN value), and states that the first commercial engines are being fabricated for serial production. The engine is designed for SJ-100 regional jets and future Be-200 amphibians; the exact two-engine SJ-100 installation is preserved while Be-200 remains an intended application rather than a claimed installed edge.
