The success of our program is assured because we have the optimal balance of longterm experience, exciting perspective project developments, and state-of-the-art technologies. The history of the Klimov Company begins in 1914 with the founding of Russian Renault JSC in Petrograd, which assembled engines and cars. During the following decades, the company gained wide experience in engine design and manufacturing, producing engines for cars, aircraft, motorcycles and tanks. During the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945), the company produced the most popular Soviet engines: the M-105 (VK-105) family for the airplanes Yak-3, Yak-9, Pe-2, LaGG-3, and others. During the past 60 years, Klimovs design division developed engines of the following types: turboshaft engines for Mil and Kamov helicopters; turbofan engines for airplanes of Mikoyan, Ilyushin, Tupolev, and others; main gearboxes, aircraft accessory drive gearboxes, turbostarters; liquid-jet engines for variouspurpose missiles; turboprop engines; gas-turbine tank engines; modular electric power plants with gas turbine drive; gas turbine drives for highspeed sea and river boats, heavy haulers and locomotives. The Klimov Company owes its unique variety of research and development and project application to its outstanding designers and directors, including V. Klimov, S. Isotov, V. Stepanov, A. Sarkisov, and many others. The Klimov Companys vast scientific-technical reserves and experience, gained from the development and operation of its previous generation of projects, serve as the foundation for its latest scientific and technological solutions. At Klimov we use: new principles and approaches, providing the operability, reliability and service life of structural components; new methods of calculation and design; advanced materials; advanced technologies in the production of parts.

the 3D modelling methods used in calculation and design are based on experience in combination with experimental research, and are continuously being re-developed and upgraded

facts:
The Klimov Company pays special attention to training and recruiting young engineers. We have created a comprehensive training program, which ranges from teaching and outreach geared toward young students at various high schools to providing excellent post-graduate courses for the most promising graduate students at Klimovs branch of St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University. In an effort to increase the expertise of our new employees and their ability to rapidly adapt to the work environment, during their 4th year of university, students join Klimovs staff as part-time employees. This provides students with an integrated program of study, scientific research and production. Through the work-study program, the next generation of Klimovs designers learn advanced technical skills, creative approaches, and gain the ambition and know-how to apply the latest scientific research to the design and manufacturing of aircraft power plants.

since 1946, the companys core focus has been the manufacturing of gas turbine engines

In 2005, the Klimov Company began to use an integrated system of product engineering data control PDM (product data management). This system enables design engineers to organise design data flows (electronic document turnover, calculated models, test results) to develop algorithms of different processes. Thanks to PDM, control of the design process is simplified by fifty percents.

With the help of PDM it is possible to evaluate the success of new modifications at the initial design stage, thus decreasing expenditures on additional tests of prototypes. In addition to helping with technological efficiency, PDM is a valuable tool for organization efficiency. Development and modernization of engines is both expensive and time-consuming. It requires consideration of an extensive number of design variants, resulting in steadily escalating volumes of data. The PDM system provides extra efficiency in the organization of this data, resulting in reduced design time and cost.

quality is a must
the dynamic development of the aviation market is a catalyst for the implementation of new technologies in propulsion engineering
Competition in the engine manufacturing sector drives us to search for new advanced methods of gasdynamic calculations, which will both save time in design and ensure high accuracy. Moreover, the manufacturing of aircraft engines obliges the developer to follow strictly established norms at all the stages of product development. When you entrust the development of your engine to the Klimov Company, you gain a highly professional ally with extensive experience, and modern equipment and technologies that meet all international standards.

our in line with customers needs ambitions always

the design division of the Klimov Company is ready to use its resources and experience in international projects facts:
A principal component of gas turbine development is the bench test. Bench tests are used to check and confirm the performance of the engine. It is critical to conduct tests at conditions very close to the operation conditions aboard the aircraft. The experimental base of the Klimov Company includes 70 special test benches and a climatic test bench, which together provide the full suite of necessary experimental and technological tests to assess the performance of individual parts as well as completed assembly units, full-size turbojet, turboshaft and turboprop engines, and helicopter power plants with gearboxes.
