The Lotarev DV-2 (or PSLM DV-2, DV: Dnepr-Váh[2]) is a two-spool turbofan engine manufactured in Považská Bystrica, Slovakia by Považské Strojárne Letecké Motory (PSLM) (former ZVL) and designed in partnership with Ivchenko Lotarev Design Bureau.[3]

Design and development

Developed from the Ivchenko AI-25 turbofan engine, ZVL was also responsible for pre-production and serial engine production.[1]

The DV-2 is a two-spool modular aviation turbofan engine with a single-stage overhung fan, two-stage LP compressor, seven-stage HP compressor, single-stage HP turbine, and two-stage LP turbine, and an annular combustion system. Maximum power at T-O is 4,850 lbf (21.58 kN) with a specific fuel consumption of 0.593 lb/hr/lbf, at Maximum Rating, Sea Level Static, ISA.[4]

One of the most unusual features of this military engine is the single stage fan; most trainer and combat engines have multi-staged fans, single stage fans normally being the preserve of civil and military transport turbofans. Ivchenko Lotarev chose a very low specific thrust (net thrust/airflow) cycle for the DV-2, so a single stage fan is sufficient to develop the desired fan pressure ratio. Even so, the pressure ratio produced is somewhat higher than that normally developed by a single stage fan. Owing to the low specific thrust, the bypass ratio for the engine is higher than normal for a military turbofan.

This engine was required to power new versions of the L-39 trainer, L-39MS and L-59. Other turbofan engine models in the DV-2 family include the DV-2A, DV‑2A.2 and DV-2S.[2]

The DV-2S was renamed "RD-35" by the Klimov under license agreement with the PSLM in 1993.[2]
