The JSC Klimov (or Joint Stock Company Klimov) presently manufactures internationally certified gas turbine engines, main gearboxes and accessory drive gearboxes for transport aircraft.
Originally established as Kirill Klimov Experimental Design Bureau in Saint-Petersburg under the direction of Vladimir Yakovlevich Klimov (Влади́мир Я́ковлевич Кли́мов) (1892–1962), Klimov designed engines for Soviet aircraft based on Renault aircraft engine designs.[3]
History
The Klimov OKB was formed in the early 1930s to produce and improve upon the liquid-cooled Hispano-Suiza 12Y V-12 piston engine for which the USSR had acquired a license. At that time Klimov also manufactured motorcycles.
In 1946 the British government allowed Rolls-Royce to sell a number of Nene and Derwent V turbojet engines to the Soviet Union. Klimov OKB was given the task of "metrifying" the British designs, without the knowledge or permission of the West, as the VK-1 and RD-500.
Klimov United Engine Company is now located in Saint-Petersburg region.
Piston engines
- M-100 – Hispano-Suiza 12Ydrs built under license
- M-103 – improved M-100
- M-105 – improved M-103; later redesignated as VK-105
- M-110
- M-120 – prototype inline 18-cylinder with three M-103A blocks in an inverted Y configuration; cancelled due to engine malfunction
- During World War II, designations were changed from M (motor) to VK (the lead designer's initials)
- VK-106 – prototype developed from M-105 with improved performance at lower altitudes; cancelled due to cooling problems
- VK-107
- VK-108 – prototype version of VK-107 with 1850 hp on takeoff; never entered production
- VK-109
- VK-110
- VK-150
