Originally established as Kirill Klimov Experimental Design Bureau in Saint-Petersburg under the direction of Vladimir Yakovlevich Klimov [ru] (Влади́мир Я́ковлевич Кли́мов) (1892–1962), Klimov designed engines for Soviet aircraft based on Renault aircraft engine designs.^[3] It may have used the designation Aircraft Repair Factory (aviazavod, ARZ) 117 during the Soviet period.^{[citation needed]}

History

The Klimov OKB was formed in the early 1930s to produce and improve upon the liquid-cooled Hispano-Suiza 12Y V-12 piston engine for which the USSR had acquired a license. At that time Klimov also manufactured motorcycles.

In 1946 the British government allowed Rolls-Royce to sell a number of Nene and Derwent V turbojet engines to the Soviet Union. Klimov OKB was given the task of "metrifying" the British designs, without the knowledge or permission of the West, as the VK-1 and RD-500.

Klimov United Engine Company is now located in Saint Petersburg.

It used the nationalised buildings originally erected by 1914 in the city's present-day Vyborgsky District for the joint stock Russian Renault automotive works,^[4][5] adding new workshop and administrative premises on the land in Bolshoy Sampsoniyevskiy Prospect avenue near the present Kantemirovskaya Street. By 2020 the premises have been vacated for redevelopment for a housing project.^[6]

Piston engines

• M-100 – Hispano-Suiza 12Ydrs built under license
• M-103 – improved M-100
• M-105 – improved M-103; redesignated as VK-105 in 1943
• M-110
• M-120 – prototype inline 18-cylinder with three M-103A blocks in an inverted Y configuration; cancelled due to engine malfunction

During World War II, designations were changed from M (motor) to VK (the lead designer's initials)

• VK-106 (M-106 before March 1944) – prototype developed from M-105 with improved performance at lower altitudes; cancelled due to cooling problems
• VK-107 (M-107 before March 1944) - development of M-105 and VK-106 with four valves per cylinder and more power
• VK-108 – prototype version of VK-107 with 1850 hp on takeoff; never entered production
• VK-109 - 1945-1946 development of the VK-108 with water injection, intended for the Myasishchev VB-109
• VK-110 - based on VK-109, 2100 hp; only a project
• VK-150 - inline 24-cylinder concept, 3700 hp
