The PD-14 engine is developed in a joint cooperation of the UEC's enterprises for the narrow-body mid-range aircraft MC-21-300 using the latest technologies and materials, including composite ones. In 2018, a certificate of the Rosaviatsiya type was issued for the PD-14 engine. Currently, work is underway to validate this certificate by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Production of PD-14 is also planned to be certified according to the requirements of the Federal Air Transport Agency and EASA. The lead contractor for the PD-14 program is UEC JSC, the lead developer is UEC-Aviadvigatel JSC (Perm), the head manufacturer is UEC-Perm Engines JSC.

The model of PD-14, demonstrated at MAKS-2019, contains engine nacelle assemblies made of polymer composite materials (PCM), gas generator casing elements, as well as hollow titanium fan blades, etc. The model of PD-14 is fully consistent with the engine currently undergoing flight tests to expand operating conditions.

The visitors of the air show were able to see another PD-14 engine on the wing of the IL-76LL flying laboratory, which was demonstrated as part of a static exhibition. During test flights, this unique stand makes it possible to online monitor over 2,000 engine parameters on board the aircraft and on the ground simultaneously.
