(see Samara and Trud).
Initials of "Kuibyshev Engine Design Bureau" and which was previously N.K. Kuznetsov
-They built big turbines but also small piston engines.
-For example, between 1990-93 they designed small piston engines with 2 and 4 cylinders.
“P.020”
-The P.020 gives 20 hp and is from the year 1990. The power is obtained at 7,300 rpm.
-A P.032MR of 32 hp was also made although the information on this engine is very scarce. It was made between 1992 and 1995. Probably it was geared.
“P.065”
-The P.065 is an adaptation of two P.020 engines coupled to a front gearbox and with a 2-shaft output for coaxial and contra-rotating propellers. It gave 65 CV and was from the year 1992.
-These small engines have been built at Kuibyshev MPO.
-But KKBM, like Kuznetsov has the interest of having made turbines of enormous importance in Russian aviation. (See Kuznetsov).
-The NK-6 was an important turboprop for having the historical interest of being one of the first designed by Kuznetsov.
“NK-12,exhaust side”
-The NK-12 was the first successful realization because it dates from 1947-52. Kuibishev intervened here, and with strong collaboration of German engineers. (see Junkers).
-The NK-12 had the interior designation of TV-12.
-It turned out that while the -12M was the most powerful turbine of the moment, with 12,000 CV to the shaft, the -12MV increased to 14,795 CV and the -12MA to 15,000 CV.
-They were installed on the Tu-114 with contra-rotating propellers of 4 immense blades (-12MV) and in the AN-22 with propellers of more than 6 meters in diameter so that on cruise they were visible in their rotation.
-The NK-8 was a two-shaft turbofan. A variant of its development was the NK-144 that was installed on the “Konkordov” Tu-144, Russian SST aircraft.
-The basic NK-8 delivered about 22,000 lb of thrust, increasing progressively to reach the NK-86 with 28,600 lbs.
“NK-86”
-Other engines were the NK-16 with 185,000 lb of thrust, installed on the Tu-96.
-The NK-20 is a large two-shaft turbofan that in 1966 was already described as with a thrust of 45,000 lb.
-The NK-25 was from 1979 and delivered 42,000 lb dry and 55,000 lb with afterburner.
-The NK-44 was a two-shaft turbofan whose project was planned for 88,000 lb of thrust.
