UEC-Klimov (Script error: No such module "Lang".) is a Russian manufacturer of 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 Template:Ill (Влади́мир Я́ковлевич Кли́мов) (1892–1962), Klimov designed engines for Soviet aircraft based on Renault aircraft engine designs.[1] It may have used the designation Aircraft Repair Factory (aviazavod, ARZ) 117 during the Soviet period.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

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.

It used the nationalised buildings originally erected by 1914 in the city's present-day Vyborgsky District for the joint stock Russian Renault automotive works,[2][3] adding new workshop and administrative premises on the land in Bolshoy Sampsoniyevskiy Prospect avenue near the present Kantemirovskaya Street. By 2020 the premises have been vacated for redevelopment for a housing project.[4]

Piston engines

  • M-100 – Hispano-Suiza 12Ydrs built under license
  • M-103 – improved M-100
  • M-105 – improved M-103; redesignated as VK-105 in 1943
  • 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 (M-106 before March 1944) – prototype developed from M-105 with improved performance at lower altitudes; cancelled due to cooling problems
  • VK-107 (M-107 before March 1944) - development of M-105 and VK-106 with four valves per cylinder and more power
  • VK-108 – prototype version of VK-107 with 1850 hp on takeoff; never entered production
  • VK-109 - 1945-1946 development of the VK-108 with water injection, intended for the Myasishchev VB-109
  • VK-110 - based on VK-109, 2100 hp; only a project
  • VK-150 - inline 24-cylinder concept, 3700 hp
