Kuznetsov Design Bureau

Kuznetsov, English N.D. Kuznetsov Scientific and Technical Complex of Samara JSC or SNTK Kuznetsov Samara, is a Russian company that is engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of equipment, especially gas turbines and transmissions. Focus is the air and space industry. The company is based in Samara. Current managing director is E. A. Gritsenko. At present one is particularly concerned with the development and manufacture of gas turbines for industrial applications, as for use as a compressor for natural gas extraction. Are thereby benefits up to 25 MW installed.

The company was founded in 1946 as an experimental design bureau ( OKB ) 276 founded to exploit German technology and Nikolai Dmitrievich Kuznetsov headed by since 1949. On the basis of the engine Junkers 022 from the end of the Second World War, the native of Dessau team dealt with under Ferdinand Brandner its development, resulting in up to 11,000 kW payable propeller turbine Kuznetsov NK -12 emerged (MW).

1954 Kuznetsov began work on the NK -6, the first twin-flow turbojet engine with afterburner Soviet design.

From 1959 it was involved in the development of engines of the projected Soviet N1 rocket. The engines NK - 15 and NK -15V ( later extended to NK -33 and NK -43 ) were developed, were in the first two starts immature thereby contributing to the failure of the project.

In the 1960s, the NK - 22 was specifically developed for the Tupolev Tu -144 to deployment.

In the late 1980s the development of the ultra- economic Propfantriebwerks NK -93, which has a bypass ratio of nearly 17:1, and thus on the world is unique began. The prop-fan technology is, however, currently no longer driven world.

After the death of N.D. Kuznetsov founded in 1996, the Russian government in Samara as the parent holding company Dvigateli NK Financial and Industrial Corporation or Dvigateli NK ( engl. NK Engines), which was connected Kuznetsov.
