history

After the October Revolution of 1917, from 1923 onwards, the French rotary engine Gnome et Rhône 9J with 120 HP (88 kW) was produced as Plant No. 24 in 880 copies under the designation M-2 for the U-1 training aircraft ; From 1924 the American Liberty followed as the M-5 with 400 HP (294 kW), of which 2,725 were built and mainly used in the multi-purpose R-1 aircraft. After the conversion of production to the first M-34 V-engine developed in the Soviet Union by Alexander Mikulin in 1932, Plant No. 24 also became the headquarters of his design office, which he founded in 1936 . 1408 M-34s had been produced by 1937 . The AM-35 and AM-38 Mikulin engines followed . After the outbreak of war , the factory was evacuated to Kuibyshev in the autumn of 1941, where it became the main producer of the AM-38, which was urgently needed for the Il-2 attack aircraft . In Moscow in 1942, after the Battle of Moscow and the associated averting of the threat to the city by the German troops, Plant No. 45 was reopened on a smaller scale on the former premises, which initially started production of the AM-38 like the main plant : 18% of all AM-38s built during the war were made in Moscow, 82% in Kuibyshev.

In 1946, Plant No. 45 was designated as the headquarters of the newly opened OKB of Archip Lyulka and began building jet engines , initially the WK-1 developed by Vladimir Klimov , of which it produced 45% of all units. In the following, only the drives developed by OKB Ljulka were built; from 1957 to 1972 these were the AL-7 (3010 pieces), from 1969 to 1991 the AL-21 (5011 pieces) as well as the R-15-300 and the AL-31 .
