TURBINE ENGINES OF THE WORLD
FJR710 Two-shaft turbofan. Testing started in May last year
of this first wholly-Japanese-designed commercial transport
engine. Nine 11,0001b FJR710/10s are scheduled to be built by
the middle of this year and testing will continue through to
1975 to complete'the first five-year stage of the programme,
costing about Yen 6,700 million, £10-2 million. This includes
build and cost of the FJR710/10, and a feasibility study of a
larger 22,0001b-33,0001b FJR710/20. During the second four-
year stage (1976-1979) of the programme, to be financed by
the government at Yen 17,000 million, £30 million, this engine
will be developed to series production standard, including
flight qualification. No application, however, is envisaged at
present. Financial support for the two-stage programme is
IHI's FJR7I0/I0 is a nationally sponsored 5-tonne design
to be supplied via the Ministry of International Trade and
Industry, with IHI and the National Aerospace Laboratory
heading an industry design and development group which
also includes Mitsubishi and Kawasaki.

ISOTOV (USSR)
This bureau has produced only two engines, both free-turbine
two-shaft turboshafts. They are the small GTD-350 for the
Mil Mi-2 helicopter and the TV2117A powering the Mil Mi-8
helicopter. The GTD-350 is also licence-built by PZL in Poland
for Polish-built Mi-2s.

pressor, annular reverse-flow combustor, single-stage com-
pressor turbine, two-stage power turbine. Integral dorsal-
mounted gearbox. Take-off 400 s.h.p.; pressure ratio 6-0:1;
mass flow 4-81b/sec; length 53-lin; width 20-9in; height 26-8in;

IVCHENKO (USSR)
This bureau has specialised in engines at the lower perfor-
mance end of the scale, including the AI-8 and AI-9 APUs,
the AI-20 and AI-24 turboprops, and the AI-25 turbofan.
AI-20 Single-shaft turboprop. This engine powers the
Antonov An-lOA (4X4,000 e.h.p. AI-20K); Antonov An-12
(4X4,250 e.h.p. AI-20MI; Beriev Be-12 (2X4,000 e.h.p. A1-20D);
Ilyushin I1-18B (4X4,000 e.h.p. AI-20K); Ilyushin I1-18D and
18K (4X4,250 e.h.p. 4,250 s.h.p.).
FLIGHT International, 10 lanuary 1974
AI-20M Ten-stage compressor, annular combustor, three-
stage turbine. Integral front-located gearbox. Take-off 4,250
e.h.p.; pressure ratio 7-6:1; mass flow 45-61b/sec; length
121-Bin; width 33-lSin; height 46-5in; weight 2,2921b.
AI-24 Single-shaft turboprop. Virtually a smaller version
of the AI-20, this engine also powers a series of Antonov
transport aircraft, including t h e An-24T, -24RT, -24V-2 and
-24RV (2X2,550 e.h.p. AI-24A) and the later series An-24T
(2X2,800 e.h.p. AI-24T).

width 26-7in; height 42-3in; weight 1,3231b:
AI-25 Two-shaft turbofan. Probably Russia's best known
aviation powerplant, the AI-25 powers the triple-engined
Yak-40 transport and is licence-manufactured in Czechoslo-
vakia as the Motorlet/Walter Titan. This turbofan is also to
power the novel single-engined WSK-Mielec M-15 crop-
spraying aircraft, first flight of which is now imminent. Aero-
Hot is reported to have placed orders for some 3,000 of this
new Polish/Russian aircraft. Basic rating of the AI-25 is
3,300ib, but a later version powering the Yak-40B for the
Soviet Air Force has turbine cooling and is rated at 3,8501b.
Ai-25 Three-stage fan, eight-stage h-p compressor, annular
combustor, single-stage h-p turbine, two-stage 1-p turbine.

KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES (Japan)
Engine Department, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. Head-
quarters: 38 Ahashi-machi, Ikuta-ku, Kobe. Tel: Kobe (0781
341-7731.
Public company engaged in shipbuilding, rolling stock,
general engineering, aircraft and aero engine manufacture.
Corporate assets Yen 612,088 million, £935 million, and em-
ployees 38,550. Corporate sales in 1972 up to Yen 335,111
million, £512 million of which aero-engine sales represented
an extremely small percentage.
KHI started licence-manufacture in 1973 of the the 1,400
s.h.p. Lycoming T53-L-13 turboshaft for Bell/Fuji HU-1H heli-
copters, having previously built 1,100 s.h.p. T53-L-11S for Fuji/
Bell HU-lBs. The company is also participating in the
government-backed FJR710 turbofan development pro-
gramme.
KLOCKNER-HUMBOLDT-DEUTZ (West Germany)
Gas Turbine Division, Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz AG. Divisional
headquarters: Oberursel Works, Oberursel, Hohenmarkstrasse
60-70. Tel: (06171)5 10 41.
Public company with corporate activities covering the
manufacture of commercial vehicles, diesel engines, tractors,
construction machinery, industrial plant, and aero-engines.
Corporate assets DM 1,977 million, £322 million, and 28,600
employees. Corporate sales in 1972 down to DM 2,142 million,
£349 million of which aero engine activities accounted for
approximately 5 per cent. KHD, having licence-built Rolls-
Koyce (1971) Orpheus turbojets and Avco Lycoming T53
turboshafts, is currently engaged in overhaul and spare-
parts manufacture for these engines. The Gas Turbine Divi-
sion has also developed the small T112 APU for the VAK
191B in collaboration with Rolls-Royce (1971), and has
adapted this unit as the T212 air-compressor power unit for
the Dornier Do 32 Kiebitz drone and as the T312 APU for
the MRCA. In addition KHD will be participating, to the ex-
tent of 22 0 per cent, in the forthcoming production pro-
gramme for Turbomeca-Snecma Larzac 04 turbofan for the
Franco-German Alpha Jet trainer. During 1973, the Gas
Turbine Division was promoting its activities under three
headings: development ability, manufacturing facilities and
service support. Corporate sales for 1973 are expected to
increase to about DM 2,600 million, £423 million but, as with
1972, the year is likely to result in an operating loss.
KUZNETSOV (USSR)
This bureau has concentrated on high-performance engines,
including the world's most powerful turboprop, the 14,795
e.h.p. NK-I2M. In general its products have not proved out-
standingly successful, and it is perhaps relevant to note that
it was chief engineer N. D. Kuznetsov who headed the team
of Russian engineers that visited Rolls-Royce (1971) towards
the end of last year to discuss possible acquisition of R-R
licences and/or technology.
