-He is responsible for the famous D-15 engine that won world records for speed and altitude on a special Myasischev M-4. The engine delivers more than 28,000 lbf of takeoff thrust.

-The TV-2BM turboshaft was later known as the D-25V with a maximum power of 5,500 shp.

-It was installed on helicopters such as the Mi-6 and -10. There are D-25VF versions, with 6,500 hp for the Mi-10K, crane.

-Soloviev was involved in the development of the D-90A (PS-90A), a high-bypass ratio turbofan. Bench tests of this engine began in 1985. See Perm.

-It was from a new design for it was unlike any previous engine at the time. Its initial power was over 35,000 lbf and the cruise speed at 11,000 meters was 0.8 Mach.

-The D-110 is an advanced turbofan with reduction gear, capable of delivering up to 55,000 lbf. Reminiscent of the Garrett ATF-3.

From Appendix 6: See Perm and Aviadvigatel.. We have a cutaway drawing of the PS-90 that clarifies interesting internal details.
