Development

Development of the TV-022 began in 1947 [2] at the State Union Experimental Plant No. 2 near Kuybyshev. [3] A team of both Soviet and deported German engineers worked on the project. [3]

The TV-022 was based on the uncompleted Junkers Jumo 022 turboprop designed by Junkers during the later stages of World War II. [2]

Factory tests of the TV-022 took place in June 1949 [1] and state tests where passed in October 1950. [1] The TV-022 featured a reduction gearbox (i=0.145) [1] for two coaxial contra-rotating AB-41 propellers. [1] The engine was started with a 50 kW "Rut" air starter. [1]

Modifications to the TV-022 resulted in the TV-2, which had more power (6,250 hp). [1] The TV-2 was then further modified into the NK-12. [2]

Tupolev Tu-85 Prototype strategic bomber aircraft based on Tu-4

The Tupolev Tu-85 was a Soviet prototype strategic bomber based on the Tu-4, an unlicensed reverse engineered copy of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. It was the ultimate development of the B-29 family, being over 50% heavier than its progenitor and had nearly double the range. Only two prototypes were built before the program was cancelled in favor of the turboprop powered Tupolev Tu-95 bomber which was much faster and had the same range.

Kuznetsov NK-12 1950s Soviet turboprop aircraft engine

The Kuznetsov NK-12 is a Soviet turboprop engine of the 1950s, designed by the Kuznetsov design bureau. The NK-12 drives two large four-bladed contra-rotating propellers, 5.6 m (18 ft) diameter (NK-12MA), and 6.2 m (20 ft) diameter (NK-12MV). It is the most powerful turboprop engine to enter service.

Tupolev Tu-95LAL Soviet experimental nuclear-powered bomber

The Tupolev Tu-95LAL,, was an experimental aircraft that was a modified Tupolev Tu-95 Soviet bomber aircraft, which flew from 1961 to 1965, analogous to the United States' earlier Convair NB-36H. It was intended to see whether a nuclear reactor could be used to power an aircraft, primarily testing airborne operation of a reactor and shielding for components and crew.

Kuznetsov NK-86 1970s Soviet/Russian turbofan aircraft engine

The Kuznetsov NK-86 is a low bypass turbofan engine used on the Ilyushin Il-86 rated at 13,000 kgf or 28,600 lbf thrust. It is made by the Soviet Kuznetsov Design Bureau. It is an upgraded version of the Kuznetsov NK-8.

JSC Kuznetsov is one of the leading Russian producers of aircraft engines, liquid-propellant rocket engines as well as aeroderivative gas turbines and modular stations.

The Kuznetsov NK-87 is a low-bypass turbofan engine rated at 127.5 kN thrust. It powers the Lun-class ekranoplan. It is made by the soviet Kuznetsov Design Bureau.

Kuznetsov NK-25 1960s Soviet turbofan aircraft engine

The Kuznetsov NK-25 is a turbofan aircraft engine used in the Tupolev Tu-22M strategic bomber. It can equal the NK-321 engine as one of the most powerful supersonic engines in service today. It is rated at 245 kN (55,000 lbf) thrust. The three shaft engine we call the NK-25 was designed in the years 1972–1974. It is made by the Soviet Kuznetsov Design Bureau.

Garrett TPF351

The Garrett TPF351 is a turboprop engine designed by Garrett Engine Division of AlliedSignal Aerospace Company. Initiated by Garrett in October 1987, the TPF351-20 engine was selected by Embraer to power the Embraer/FMA CBA 123 Vector, a high-speed commuter "pusher" aircraft. It was first tested on May 19, 1989 and then ground tested and flight tested on a Boeing 720 on July 9, 1990. The first prototype CBA 123 was tested on July 18, 1990, followed by a flight to the Farnborough Air Show in September of the same year. Both programs were cancelled in 1992, when the TPF351 was nine months from engine certification.

The Ivchenko AI-20 is a Soviet turboprop engine developed by the Ivchenko design bureau in the 1950s. It has been built in large numbers, serving as the powerplant for the Antonov An-12 transport and the Ilyushin Il-18 airliner.

Kuznetsov NK-93 1980s Soviet propfan aircraft engine

The Kuznetsov NK-93 was a civilian aircraft engine, a hybrid between a turbofan and a turboprop known as a propfan. The engine was also unique in having a separate duct around the contra-rotating propellers, as most other propfans are unducted. Once described in a respected aviation encyclopedia as "potentially the most fuel-efficient aircraft jet engine ever to be tested," the NK-93 was targeted for derivatives of Soviet/Russian airliners such as the Ilyushin Il-96, Tupolev Tu-204, and Tupolev Tu-330. Five in-flight engine tests were conducted on the NK-93 from December 2006 to December 2008.

The Kuznetsov NK-4 was a Soviet turboprop engine, designed by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau.
