UAZ with the engine from the aircraft

The story of an old UAZ, which has received new life by installing it "under the hood" of the engine from the aircraft! At least in the imagination once there racing cars, but this car was created for more practical use

What happens if you put a car on the aircraft engine? In the minds of immediately arise racing cars, which put the record speed anywhere on the dried salt lake Bonneville.
However, there are more rational and practical use, and the vehicle can be used much more affordable. Look at the picture: a little unusual in this set is a real UAZ gas turbine engine. Same as on airplanes.

The first thing that catches your eye - Marked forward bumper serving tray corrugated hose, unusual protrusions under the headlights. The most observant will notice the high raised neck just behind the right door, while below there is one, like all normal UAZ.



Taking advantage of the hospitality of the airport staff, open the door of the cabin. Here lies the most interesting.
Once the driver is installed for a huge fuel tank. For a fuel tank for a device with a bunch of wires, tubes and hoses.



The entire interior of the car UAZ takes a gas turbine engine. What's he doing here? It can spare parts for repair? No, obviously the motor is connected and can work. Someone decided to set the record rate among UAZ? Also no.



Let's look into the cockpit. To the right of the driver's control panel is such that all the economy. So, a little bit clearer, obviously the engine can rotate generators. But it is unlikely in order to make the mobile power station to the city such a complex structure. Right at this UAZ addition to generating electricity, there are more important problems.



Briefly leave the cab and walk on the airfield. Speaking of power, our hunch was confirmed. See the socket next to the spotlight?



Everyone knows that to fly the aircraft engines are needed. On most modern aircraft, they are located on the wings. Most often they can be two, as in this Boeing-737, or four, like the Boeing-747 or the giant Airbus A-380. But actually on planes it is not only the main engines. To the parking lot working hydraulic system, air-conditioning, provides electricity and other systems of the aircraft irrationally run powerful and voracious main engines. Therefore aircraft has an engine smaller - auxiliary power unit, APU for short. Usually, it is located in the tail section of the liner.



Now the airplane is towed by the tractor. The main engines are not running, but it is clear that the APU is running. See jet exhaust gases?



APU is used in almost all types of aircraft to power all systems, as well as to start the main engines. Look, almost all the aircraft you will see a small hole behind - a nozzle APU.



Why not put some engine easier or a bunch of batteries and starter in the car? Of course, the matter of enormous power, which is required on the airplane. Engines usually run by compressed air, which made turbine. In addition APU drives the generator and can feed air into the cabin, of course, not so hot like coming out of the nozzle.



Now it becomes clear purpose of these hoses, and this UAZ. The auxiliary power unit may malfunction, or you may need to provide a voltage or a quick warm up the plane after the long winter parking. In these and other cases, UAZ with a gas turbine engine in the cabin to help. By the way, he did not ride fast - speed on the airfield only 30 km / h, not more. Why is it so slow? Firstly, for safety reasons, and secondly, the weight of almost 3 ton.



Few technical details:

Installing the air start is designed to run gas-turbine aircraft engines and hot compressed air to power the on-board equipment of aircraft direct and alternating current at startup.

Installation is mounted on the base of the UAZ-37411 which are located:

powerplant
intake and exhaust system
air system
fire alarm system
electrical
means of communication.

The installation can be operated at temperatures ranging from -50 ° C to + 50 ° C and a relative humidity of 98%.

Powerplant and lubrication system - gas turbine, single shaft with inlet air of the compressor, with gear motor TA-6A. Installation is equipped with autonomous power of the engine fuel system TA-6A. The same engine is used as an auxiliary power unit for the Tu-154, Il-62M, Il-76 and Tu-22M, AN-22A.

Operating mode (time of continuous air supply):
 - As t NV below + 25 ° C - 20 min.
 - As t NV from + 25 ° to + 50 ° C - 10 min.

Power plant (at H = 0, p = 760mm Hg, t n. = + 15 ° C):
 - The pressure (at air flow 1 35 kg / s - 4 5 0 ± 2 kg / cm²)
 - Temperature of - 200 ± 20 ° C

Electricity
Supply voltage DC: 27
AC 3 phase I with 208 derived neutral, frequency 400 Hz.

Total capacity in the air mode, KW: 32
including DC, kW: up to 6.

Total capacity in the generator mode (without air) KW: 45
including DC, kW: up to 6.

So if you see at the airport this strange bug-eyed UAZ, you know, is a very important machine.
