Vladimir Klimov (1892-1962) Soviet designer of aircraft engines

Klimov oversaw the development of engines for many of the Soviet fighter and bomber aircraft which contributed to the Soviet

victory in the Great Patriotic War (World War II).

The design bureau led by Klimov was founded in Leningrad in 1946. The bureau has now become the Klimov company, based in St

Petersburg.

After the war, the Klimov bureau designed several air-breathing engines for the Yakovlev, Mikoyan, Ilyushin and Tupolev

aircraft.

The MiG-15bis aircraft fitted with a Klimov-designed engine was recognized as the best fighter of the 1950s.

Klimov also oversaw the launch of the development of the first gas turbine engines for Soviet helicopters.

FINEC — and one specialised secondary education establishment, Primorsky Lyceum.

The scholarships, named after the great Soviet aviation designer Vladimir Yakovlevich Klimov, were established by OAO Klimov

From FrWiki https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Klimov

Vladimir Yakovlevich Klimov (Russian: Владимир Яковлевич Климов; born July 11, 1892 (July 23, 1892 in the Gregorian calendar) in Moscow – died September 9, 1962) was a Soviet aircraft engine manufacturer. He held the rank of general engineer-major of the air force.

Biography
He began his career in 1918 as a professor at the Moscow Technical University and then at the Zhukovsky Military Academy, while working as an aeronautical engineer in several factories and research institutes on different projects.

He made several trips abroad to acquire the rights to manufacture engines under license for the Soviet air forces being created. This is how he bought one hundred BMW engines in Germany in 1924 and acquired the rights to manufacture the French Hispano-Suiza engine and in 1928 those of the Gnome et Rhône engine, of which he also bought 200 copies. From 1925 to 1930 he worked on the development of several radial engines.

On the strength of the experience acquired during his trip to France in 1933, in 1935 he founded the OKB-117 in Leningrad, a design office for aircraft engines, of which he was appointed chief engineer. It was there that the M-100 engine which equipped the Tupolev SB-2 was developed under his direction. His team's greatest success at that time was the M-105 V-engine, which equipped several types of World War II aircraft such as the Yer-2 and Pe-2 bombers, the LaGG-3 fighter and the successful series of Yakovlev Yak-1M, Yak-3, Yak-7 and Yak-9PD. This engine, renamed VK-105 in honor of its creator, was with its different variants one of the most widely used Soviet aircraft engines.

After the war, Klimov's team concentrated on the development of jet engines, focusing particularly on the English Rolls-Royce Derwent and Nene turbines. He also built the first Soviet jet engines:


 * WK-1 mounted on MiG-15,
 * WK-2 mounted on La-15, Il-28 and MiG-17 and finally
 * WK-5B mounted on MiG-19.

He teamed up with Sergei Izotov, an engineer who also designed engines (such as that of the Mil Mi-8), who was his deputy director. Honors

Vladimir Klimov was a deputy of the Supreme Soviet from 1946 to 1950 and a member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR from 1953.
