Special attention is given to the groundwork in the area of aircraft engine building. We specify the basic standard requirements to aircraft engines, their parts and components, logistic support; requirements to the processes of creating, manufacturing, conditions of operation and maintenance, overhaul, storing, disposal; leading standard technologies or those already implemented in aircraft items. We point out the key areas of activity: additive technologies and additive manufacturing – systems of producing/growing optimal material objects, first of all, 3D printing (selective laser sintering, fusion), infusion and PIM-technologies, methods of surface treatment, development of bionics and use of honeycomb or composite structures with an optimal microstructure; mathematical modeling and supercomputer engineering to optimize various characteristics and processes of additive manufacturing. </span>Авиационная техникаавиационное двигателестроениенаучно-исследовательские и опытно-конструкторские работынаучно-технический заделэффективностьAircraftaircraft engine buildingresearch and developmenttechnology advanceefficiency
