The resulting engine had better high-altitude performance and entered production in 1938. However, the engine proved unreliable and suffered from failure of gears in the reduction gearbox. [1] Later the M-88 was designed to address the shortcomings of the M-87. At first the M-88 was not a success, but the designers persisted, and the M-88 was ...
ANT-22/MK-1: Armoured six-engine recce flying boat prototype, development of ANT-11, 1934. ANT-23/I-12: Experimental twin-engined fighter equipped with two recoilless 75mm cannons, 1931. ANT-24/TB-4: Projected enlarged version of ANT-16 powered by four M-44 engines, precursor of ANT-26, 1931. ANT-25/RD: Single-engine monoplane long-range bomber ...
Tupolev '79' 78 with Soviet engines; Tupolev '81' twin-engine medium bomber developed from the 73; became the Tu-14; Tupolev '83' projected bomber developed from the Tu-82; Tupolev '84' prototype reconnaissance aircraft; Tupolev '87' Tu-86 converted into an engine test bed; Tupolev '88' initial prototype of the Tu-16; also known as Aircraft 'N'
This engine powered the early models of the Tupolev Tu-144 SST. The Kuznetsov Design Bureau also produced the Kuznetsov NK-87 turbofan engine that was used on the Lun-class ekranoplan. (Only one such aircraft has ever been produced.)
The SB was an all-metal monoplane powered by two Klimov M-100 12-cylinder water-cooled engines (license production version of Hispano-Suiza 12-Yrds engine) which drove fixed-pitch two-bladed metal propellers. The engines were provided with honeycomb-type frontal radiators enclosed by vertical thermostat-controlled cooling shutters. At an early ...
A further development of this engine, the NK-89, was designed to run on both liquified natural gas [2] (LNG) and kerosine. [2] On April 15, 1988, [1] one NK-88 running on cryogenically stored LH 2 [2] was tested in flight in the starboard nacelle of the Tupolev Tu-155 flying laboratory. [1]
The engine was tested in December 1988 but was never certified because of funding problems. [12] Intended for the Tupolev Tu-404. NK-112 turbofan. Cryogenic design intended to power the twin-engine Tupolev Tu-336 (a 120-seat stretched derivative of the Tu-334). [5] NK-114 turbojet. Derived from the NK-93. [13] NK-144 afterburning turbofan.
The NK-8 was a low-bypass turbofan engine built by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, in the 90 kN (20,000 lb f) thrust class. It powered production models of the Ilyushin Il-62 and the Tupolev Tu-154 A and B models.
