Tumanski RD-9
The Tumanski RD-9 (originally Mikulin AM-9 until 1956 ) was a single-shaft turbojet air jet engine that was developed and mass-produced in the USSR .
The engine was developed from the Mikulin AM-5 by redesigning the compressor. It was the first jet engine that was fully developed in the USSR and reached series production. In 1953 it passed its acceptance test with 25.5 kN (without afterburner).
The standard version RD-9B is a jet engine with a nine-stage axial compressor and a tubular ring combustion chamber with ten combustion tubes. An afterburner with a variable thrust nozzle has been added opposite the exit engine . The turbine is designed in two stages and is also flowed through axially. This version was produced in series from 1955. The acceleration time from idle to full power was up to 17 s.
RD-9 versions
- RD-9A and RD-9AK - versions without afterburner for the Jakowlew Jak-25 and Jakowlew Jak-26
- RD-9AF-300 and RD-9AF2-300 - versions with afterburner for the Jakowlew Jak-27 and Jakowlew Jak-28
- RD-9B - Version with afterburner for the MiG-19
- RD-9BF-811 - further developed version for the MiG-19
- RD-9FK - Version for the cruise missile K-10S
The RD-9B was also used in the first prototype of the 152 / I V1 from VEB Flugzeugwerke Dresden , in the later samples this was replaced by the specially developed Pirna 014 .
