Main business/activity
Founded in 1930, the Central Institute of Aviation Motors named in honour of P.I. Baranov (CIAM) is the only research establishment in Russia, which performs complex scientific researches and development in the area of aero engines from fundamental investigations of physical processes to creation, engineering, and certification of new generation engines in cooperation with Design Bureaus. Whole domestic aero engines was practically developed at Institute direct participation and perfected at our test facilities. The Institute has the largest unique Test Centre in Europe for sea level and altitude tests of aero engines.
The main directions of CIAM activities are:
- Fundamental Investigations (gasdynamics, combustion, heat transfer, structural strength, theory of engine
- control, etc.)
- Applied Research (study of different architecture of Air-Breathing Engines, its features, and performance for
- various type of flying vehicles; designing of ABE’s components, units, and systems; durability, reliability, and
- non-failure operation of ABE; study of performance of advanced structural materials; estimation of
- development, production, and service operation cost, etc.)
- Tests (tests of ABE, its components, units, and systems in real operating condition; designing of test
- facilities and test equipment; designing of instrumentation and measuring tools, etc.)
- Certification (aero engines certification in accordance with IAC, FAA, and EASA requirements; development
- of authority documentation; harmonization of IAC, FAA, and EASA requirements, etc.)
