The company is located in Perm and it was the original Shvetsov design office for over 50 years. Between 1953 and 1989 it was attached to Soloviev. After the political changes, by 1990 they became AO Aviadvigatel and today it is only Aviadvigatel.

-The initial two brands have a strong manufacturing history of highly successful engines, which were installed in civil transport aircraft, military combat aircraft and helicopters.

-This office was also known as “Perm Scientific and Production Enterprise Aircraft Engines”.

-A final Soloviev design was the PS-90A (PS = Perm Scientific) that was a 2-spool turbofan. It had a high pressure spool (HP) and a low pressure one (LP).

-This engine was also known as D90A. It was tested in 1984 and certified in 1991. In collaboration with other companies such as CFM, GE and Snecma, parts have been redesigned to achieve the power and consumption specifications that had been stipulated in the beginning.

-The thrust is around 35,000 lbs. at sea level.

-The D-20P engine was the first turbofan to be installed in an airline aircraft in 1962. It was a 2-spool turbofan that delivered 12,000 lbs. of thrust.

-The D-25V turboshaft is used as powerplant for the known Mi-6 and Mi-10 helicopters, in the range of 5,500 SHP (4150 kW). It is an engine that has been designed by Soloviev.

-There have been many versions of the D-30 according to the aircraft for which they were intended. (D-II-30, D-30-N, D-III-30, D-30-V12, D-30-KU, D-KP-30, D-30-KPV, etc). If the first ones reached 15,000 lbs. of thrust, the D-30-K series delivered 24,000 lbs. They were equipped with reverse in civilian applications.

-Starting is performed with another auxiliary turbine. It includes FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control). It has an adjustable exhaust nozzle.

-Using the "core" of the PS-90A, they made engine versions D-100, D-110 and D-112, which had a fan of more than two meters in diameter and a thrust from 19,000 lbs to 20,000 lbs.
