It is the "Central Institute of Aviation Engines" in Moscow. Since 1930 it is dedicated to the development and research of all types of aircraft engines. It is an establishment with great facilities and highly trained staff.

-For example at the 1996 Aviation Engine Show in the Russian capital, they presented an engine that runs on hydrogen and is used by vehicles that reach 6,500 km/hr. (4038 mi/h).

-From appendix 6: It is the "Center of Aviation Engine History". It is the TsIAM (see).

-Located in the Samara region, it collects engines for restoring and demonstration. It also investigates engine development in the days when traditional techniques were used. And the engines and their components' data are edited.

"Exhibition, whole or cut"

-CIAM emerged in 1930 from the merger of TsAGI and the NAMI aviation department. Its first director was P.I. Baranov.

-During the Patriotic War (WWII) engines like the Charomsky AN-1 and Ach-30, or Mikulin's M-34 were developed there.

“Charomsky Ach-30B”

-We see the turbocharger on the right side.

"The M-34, cutaway"

-We can see the gearbox with Citroën-type double-angle gears.

-CIAM worked together with the different OKB design offices.

-Since the 1950's it has a new branch in Moscow. It is a prototype construction center with tests on special benches in high altitude and high speed simulators.

"Baranov, first CIAM director"

-The CIAM is a center doing works that Sacle can do in France or  INTA in Spain (saving distances).

-Among its different directors, department heads and scientific collaborators are Klimov, Lyulka, Stechkin, Tumansky, Uvarov, etc. who are mentioned throughout this publication.

-CIAM is also called TsIAM or Central Institute of Aviation Engine.

-We have located a work done in collaboration with NASA. The CIAM Supersonic Flight Laboratory, collaborates for vehicles with speeds of up to Mach 6.5.

-The proposed model was installed on a Russian SA-5 missile and tested at the Russian Sary Shagan Flight Test Center in Kazakhstan.

"Semi-diagram for the engine"

-Ramjet engine for high speeds with supersonic combustion that is studied by advanced countries like France, United Kingdom, the United States and Russia.

-From Russia we now have an illustration of a Scramjet engine from the 1990's.

-Developed and tested by CIAM (Tsiam) or Central Institute of Aviation Engines.

-The construction was done by Soyuz (see).

-Capable of Mach 5 at over 85,000 feet altitude. During  the 1992 tests it reached 3600 mph. (Mach 5 is around 3300 mph).
