Summary:Abstract The article discusses the possibility of improving the main characteristics (efficiency, specific thrust) of a gas turbine engine by using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel. This possibility is considered on the example of using as fuel instead of aviation kerosene on PS-90A and NK-93 engines. The parameters of the engine were determined at various stages in the cruise flight mode when operating on kerosene and LNG. The parameters evaluating the fuel consumption of the engine are calculated and compared for both fuels. The performance characteristics for kerosene and LNG were evaluated in the system of the Tu-330 subsonic transport aircraft. Energy losses during storage of cryogenic fuel on board the aircraft are estimated.
