This is the Design Bureau of great Chief Designers like Dobrynin, Koliesov, Galigusov, Novikov, etc.

-The correct name of this Design Bureau, in English is: Rybinsk Engine Design Bureau.

“RKBM-VD-7 (RD-7)”

-The RD-7, was designed by Koliesov for the M-6 "Bison" aircraft and the Myasishchev M-50 "Bounder", supersonic bomber.

-It has a single shaft and afterburner. It delivers around 30,900 lbf of thrust.

-The VD-7 is the same engine whose name later has changed to RD-7.

-The 35,300 lbf thrust VD-7M was a variant for the Tu22 “Blinder”.

-They have also been the engines used on the KM “Ekrano-planes”, known as the “Caspian Sea Monsters”. During the years 1967-1972.

“Ekranoplane Loon, with 8 engines”

-Or the "Loon", a true super fast missile-carrying destroyer boat.

-The "Ekranoplanes" are like airplanes, but they don't fly, they rise from the water and run a few meters above the surface due to "ground effect" in this case "surface effect".

-That is why they have a small but sufficient wing and they need power.

-In fact they are very high speed ships, and the Russians are the only ones who built them, as far as is known, and they have a huge range of these devices.

-And due to its speed, less than airplanes, the control surfaces are larger.

“Ekranoplane KM, with 10 engines”

-The VD-7 engine gave way to the VD-19 also from Koliesov. It was smaller in diameter, and was intended for interceptor aircraft such as the Tu-28 delivering 22,500 lbf of thrust with afterburner.

-The RD-36-35 was the first Russian lifting turbojet to enter production.

“RD36-35FVR”

-The FVR versions were intended for the Yak-36 and 38 on aircraft carriers. The PR was used on the Bartini 14.

-The RD36-51 has nothing to do with the previous model, it was an almost 45,000 lbf turbojet with afterburner in the version of the Russian Supersonic Transport Tu-144-SST.

“RKBM RD36-51A”

-What catches our attention is the originality of having the accessory box that needs to be driven, separated and above the engine with a transmission that comes from the HP shaft.

-The RD-38 is a derivative of the vertical lift turbojet but operating in a horizontal position on the Beriev A-40. A Galigusov design.

“RD-41”

-The RD-41 gives 9,400 lbf approx. (about 2,000 lbf more than the RD36-35). It was intended for the Yak-141. The engine was designed by Novikov and the first one was produced in 1982.

“RD-60”

-The RD-60 turbojet engine, derived from a previous lifting one, is used in a horizontal position on the Beriev A-40 (see RD-38). It delivers about 6,500 lbf.

-The first one was produced in 1990 and its designer was Novikov.

The RKBM TVD-1500 have a "core" that is used in jets, turboprops and turboshafts. However, its most common application is in the last two cases.

“RKBM, TVD-1500 for the Antonov An-38”

-This engine is also known as RD-600 and delivers 1,350 shp with a contingency of 1,550 hp depending on the submodel.

-The TVD-1550V, was mounted on the Kamov V-62.

“TVD-1500, turboshaft”

-Something original and out of this general line of aviation engines is the Diesel engine designed by Novikov.

“RKBM DN-200”

-The engine is the 2-stroke DN-200 (Diesel Novikov) with three cylinders giving 200 CV.

“Another view of the DN-200”

-It was designed with the intention of obtaining an engine that would replace the current American ones that are used in many light aircraft. They have a very low consumption. Initially intended for the Yak-112.

The 150 hp four-cylinder X-shaped Diesel is another RKBM piston engine.
