MOSCOW. April 17 (Interfax-AVN) - Possibility of producing PW207 engines in the city of Kazan is being considered by representatives of the Kazan engine-building enterprise and the Pratt & Whitney-rus company, head of the Pratt & Whitney-rus informational support department Alexander Petrov told Interfax- Military News Agency on Wednesday. Petrov is participating in the Dvigateli 2002 international exhibition that is underway in Moscow. According to him, the negotiations concern "gradual commercialization of mass-production of the engine providing for manufacture of its units and components as well as their assembly at the Kazan plant." Petrov said that the company was engaged in three projects at present, these being development of two helicopter engines and one airplane engine. Experts of the enterprise are designing the PW207K helicopter engine for the Ansat light helicopter produced at the Kazan helicopter-building plant and the experimental PW127/5 engine for the MI-38 helicopter developed by the Moscow- based Mil helicopter plant and Western Europe's Eurocopter Company. This engine is a helicopter version of the PW127H mounted on IL-114-100 passenger planes; development of the PW- 127H is the third program of the company. Petrov also said, among other things, that Pratt & Whitney- rus had developed a transitional module for redesigning PW127H turbo-prop engines into PW127/5 turbo-shaft engines. The module is to be produced with the use of Russian technologies and materials. The Kazan engine-building enterprise and the Moscow- based Salyut machine-building enterprise participate in the production of the module for manufacturing experimental PW127/5 engines. Pratt & Whitney-rus is an affiliate company of Pratt & Whitney Canada. It employs about 70 people, including up to 50 designers, Petrov added.
