Features: This book systematically introduces the parameters and structural characteristics of Soviet aviation gas-turbine engines, covering designs from the earliest to the most recent. Many of these models are still actively in service on Russian air routes. The book provides a systematic overview of the development history of gas-turbine engines from 10 Soviet engine design bureaus, including over 350 tables reflecting the main technical characteristics of Soviet turbo-prop, turbofan, turboshaft, and turbojet engines, as well as over 310 tables detailing the main technical characteristics of aircraft using these engines. The book also presents 115 longitudinal sectional views and structural diagrams of gas-turbine engines. At the end, it offers a historical review and analysis of the development of Soviet aviation gas-turbine engine structural designs. This book is suitable for aviation gas-turbine engine design and operation personnel, production staff, as well as for reference by teachers, university students, and postgraduate researchers in related fields.
