Tumansky RD-9
Encyclopedia : T : TU : TUM : Tumansky RD-9
Tumansky RD-9 was the first turbojet engine completely designed in USSR (previous engines were based on German and British designs). First created in the Mikulin OKB as AM-5 in 1953, it was redesigned with a new compressor with higher sub-sonic airflow and renamed AM-9. The engine completed testing in 1955. When Tumansky replaced Mikulin as the chief designer in the OKB in 1956, the engine was renamed RD-9.
