D-18 by Lotarev (G.A.Ivchenko -Progress Design Bureau)

The D-18T engine was selected in 1984 to power world mightiest transport planes - An-124 Ruslan and An-225 Mria.

The advantages of the engine:

• High takeoff thrust
• Low specific fuel consumption
• High reliability (meeting the FAR and BCAR airworthiness requirements)
• Long-term service life
• Low levels of noise and contaminants emission (meeting ICAO standards)
• Ease of maintenance and high repairability.
• The engine is equipped with the efficient thrust reverser installed in the fan duct.

Three-shaft modular engine became a base model for entire line of XXI century aircraft engines with static thrust up to 30t. Gas dynamic quality and high thermal cycle parameters of the D-18T allow to use it as a heart of gas turbine installations with shaft power of 25 to 30MW.

Engine Modules:
Fan fairing	Fan wheel	Fan shaft with bearing
Fan casing	Fan stator blades	Intermediate pressure compressor
Main module	Thrust reverser	Combustion chamber
HP turbine rotor	Turbine bearing cases	IP turbine rotor
Fan turbine	Rear bearing assembly	Rear mount
Exhaust cone	Exhaust nozzle

D-18T engine is manufactured by the Zaporozhye Motorostroitel Industrial Association in cooperation with ZMDB "Progress".
