Story
The company traces its history back to the formation of a society in St. Petersburg in 1912, which was called: "French Society of Automobile Enthusiasts Renault for Russia".
But only on October 20, 1914, with the highest permission of Emperor Nicholas II, the decision was made to open the Renault plant. By this time, the First World War was in full swing and the priority of the newly formed plant was the production of equipment for the front. The first military order was placed for Renault 12F engines, which were installed on cars and aircraft.
In Petrograd in the early 20s. POGARZ (Petrograd United State Automobile Repair Plant) was formed, which included the production premises of the former Ivan Breitigam body shops, as well as the buildings of the Petrograd branch of the former Russian Renault plant. POGARZ carried out major repairs of cars and, as follows from an advertisement in 1923, manufactured car engines.
After the onset of Soviet power, the plant continued its activities in the same direction. In 1924, the plant put into operation the M-24 flying boat with a Renault engine.
In 1929, the plant began serial production of spare parts for engines for Fordson-Putilovets, Caterpillar, John Reed, and International tractors.
In 1930, the plant began developing and serial production of motorcycles L-300, L-500, L-8 and S-1.
In 1931-1932, the plant organized in-line production of 37-mm armor-piercing shells.
In the period 1932-1936, the plant carried out serial production of components for T-26 tanks, and also adapted M-5 aircraft engines (Licensed version of the Liberty L-12 engine) for installation on BT-2 and BT-5 tanks.
May 1, 1947 In Moscow, the first parade with the participation of jet aircraft took place over Red Square, in which Yak-15 fighters with RD-10 engines, developed by V. Ya. Klimov, took part.
In 1951-1952, the VK-5, VK-5F, and VK-7 engines were developed.
In 1951, the VK-2 turboprop engine was created for the aircraft of A. N. Tupolev and S. V. Ilyushin. On February 16, 1952, the first tests of the MiG-17F with the VK-1F engine with an afterburner took place. On February 17, 1952, the first flight of the Il-28 R reconnaissance aircraft with the VK-5 engine took place. May 30, 1952 - first flight of the R-1 seaplane.
In 1956, the first VK-3 bypass engine was developed for the I-ZU high-altitude supersonic fighter. The first engine with cooled turbine blades VK-13 was developed. In the 60s, liquid jet engines were developed and produced for strategic missile systems, anti-aircraft missiles, as well as engines for orbital aircraft systems within the framework of the Spiral program.
In 1962, the GTD-350 engine and the VR-2 main gearbox for the V-2 helicopter were developed.
In 1964, the TV2-117 engine and the VR-8 main gearbox were developed for the V-8A helicopter. In the same year, 1964, the GTD-350 engine was installed on a railway leading car and a hovercraft.
In the mid-90s, the company's specialists created modifications of this engine RD-33N, RD-93 and the box of aircraft units KSA-52, KSA-53, KSA-54 for single-engine foreign fighters "Mirage F-1" and "Super 7" .
At the end of the 90s, a unique design of a supersonic adjustable jet nozzle with a deflectable thrust vector (OVT) was developed for the RD-33 engine.
In the 1990s - early 2000s, one of the areas of the plant’s work was the creation of modular power plants based on aircraft gas turbine engines of its own design.
In 1997, the company completed certification of the TV7-117S turboprop engine for the IL-114 local airline passenger aircraft. In 2000-2002 a modification TV7-117SM with an electronic automatic control and control unit (BARC) was created.
Since 1998, the development and production of BARK has been a separate and very significant area of activity of the enterprise. To date, 8 modifications of the BARK have been created for power plants of aircraft and helicopters for military and civil purposes.
In 2001, state tests were carried out on the VK-2500 turboshaft engine, which is a further development of the TV3-117 engine family and is intended for installation on new and modernized middle-class helicopters of the Mil and Kamov enterprises.
Since 2004, the company has been carrying out a complex of work on the RD-33MK engine with increased thrust. Since 2006 - takes part in the development of fifth-generation turbofan engines, carries out research work on the creation of advanced APUs and ignition systems,
In December 2006, the enterprise changed its form of ownership and became an open joint-stock company "Klimov", 100% of the shares of which belong to OJSC OPK "Oboronprom".
At the XII international helicopter industry exhibition HeliRussia 2019, United Engine Corporation for the first time presents the VK-2500PS-02 helicopter turboshaft engine, designed for the Russian civil helicopter Ka-32.
The United Engine Corporation (UEC), part of Rostec, opened a service and repair center for helicopter engines produced by UEC-Klimov in the Vietnamese city of Vung Tau. The center is certified by the Aviation Administration of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The pilot repair of the first engine was successfully completed.
A distribution agreement on engine service was signed between JSC UEC-Klimov and the Vietnamese company HELICOPTER TECHNICAL SERVICE COMPANY in October 2018
In the history of the enterprise, this is the first such agreement, which contributes to the active development of the service direction of the enterprise, the key competencies of which also include the development and production of engines for helicopters and aircraft.
St. Petersburg JSC "ODK-Klimov" (part of the United Engine Corporation of the Rostec State Corporation) successfully passed the test for compliance with the Federal Aviation Rules AP-21 in the part "Certification of aircraft equipment, development organizations and manufacturers." The press service of the UEC reports this.
ODK-Klimov is a developer of helicopter engines of the TV3-117/VK-2500, VK-2500PS-03, TV7-117 V family, aircraft engines of the RD-33, TV7-117S/SM/ST family and their control systems.
JSC "ODK-STAR" supplied experimental units intended for installation on the TV7-117ST engines of the newest military transport aircraft Il-112 V. Created in the interests of the air force and having the prospect of mass production, the Russian aircraft of the new type Il-112 V flew first flight March 30, 2019.
Entirely consisting of Russian components and designed as part of import substitution The SAU-65ST automatic control and fuel supply system was developed using modern design solutions, which made it possible to increase the reliability of the units in accordance with the declared characteristics of the TV7-117ST engine developed and produced by the St. Petersburg company JSC "ODK-Klimov": at maximum take-off mode, the engine power is 3100 hp. s., in increased emergency mode - 3600 hp.
Currently, UEC-STAR JSC has also created a modernized version of the SAU-65ST
On March 30, the newest Russian light transport aircraft Il-112 V took off from the VASO runway. But it is worth paying attention not only to the development of the newest aircraft, but also to the fact that it was lifted into the air by the latest Russian TV7-117ST engines, developed in the ODK corporation by the ODK-Klimov company.
As the UEC press service told the “Made with Us” portal, the engines operated normally during the flight.
In Russia, the development of the small-sized turboshaft engine (TVD) VK-800 is being completed. This was stated by the leading designer of the power plant project, Vitaly Loginov, speaking at a scientific and technical seminar at the Central Institute of Aviation Engine Engineering (CIAM) named after P.I. Baranova. According to him, in 2020 it is planned to certify an aircraft equipped with the VK-800.
Our country is implementing a program to localize the regional twin-engine aircraft L-410 (see our material http://tehnoomsk.ru/node/2978), work is also being carried out on the domestic VK-800S engine (see. http://tehnoomsk.ru/node/3363). The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation has published new data on the state of work on regional aviation aircraft.
According to Deputy Minister of Industry Oleg Bocharov, now Work on transferring L-410 production to Russia is in the following state:

Alexander Vatagin, executive director of UEC-Klimov JSC, spoke about what the future engine for Russian helicopters will be like, whether the Il-112 transport aircraft needs a higher-power engine, and the prospects for the Mi-38 in an interview with Zvezda.
How do you see the helicopter engine of the future?
The engine requirements for a high-speed helicopter are determined by the platform developer. And what its appearance will be depends on how the designer proposes to accelerate the helicopter to the required speeds: either only through the operation of the propeller, or through the use of jet thrust. We are ready for the power to be removed from the engine to the gearbox and propeller, as well as its reactive power. We are working on this. In addition, we understand that the engine of the future cannot be created according to the classical scheme. It must be composite; in its creation, other materials will be used that will allow for better mass characteristics; it must be “electric,” that is, the issue of generating electricity must be solved in a completely different way. We strive to ensure that the engine is “dry”; gas-dynamic bearings are used. There are a lot of developments that I would like to apply in the future.

About what the TV7-117ST engine will be like, the engine of the high-speed helicopter VK-2500TM and the “younger brother” of the Su-57 - a fifth-generation light fighter, about import substitution of Ukrainian components and new capabilities of the Mi-28NM “Night Hunter”, about competition with American engines PW-127 was told in an interview with Zvezda by the executive director of JSC UEC-Klimov, Alexander Vatagin.
Alexander Vatagin born on January 28, 1957 in the village of Ossetishche, Shumyachsky district, Smolensk region. From 1985 to 1995 he worked at the 40th State Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense. In 1995, he was one of the leaders of Russia's first long-term scientific experiment - a two-week hyperbaric dive to a depth of 500 meters. By order of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated January 24, 1991, Vatagin was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for the successful completion of a special command assignment and the courage and heroism displayed. Since 2004, he has become the General Director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Plant named after. V. Ya. Klimov", and after its corporatization in 2009 - executive director of JSC Klimov as part of the United Engine Corporation.
United Engine Corporation (UEC) has completed the development of a new engine for the Mi-28NM attack helicopter. The VK-2500P power plant and its “digital content” significantly improve the flight characteristics of the Night Hunter and make it one of the best in its class in the world.
The development of the VK-2500P engine, the latest modification of the VK-2500 turboshaft, was carried out by the United Engine Corporation, part of Rostec. At the moment, the developer of the power plant, the ODK-Klimov enterprise, is starting mass production.
The next stage of testing of the TV7-117ST began on June 9. The TV7-117ST turboprop engine (TVE) is installed on the Il-76LL flying laboratory (board number 76492) instead of one standard engine. The first stage of flight testing started at the Flight Research Institute named after. M.M. Gromova September 12, 2017. At the first stage of testing, ten flights were performed. At the second stage of testing, six flights are planned.
St. Petersburg JSC UEC-Klimov (part of the United Engine Corporation State Corporation Rostec) and JSC UTair-Engineering, within the framework of the General Cooperation Agreement concluded in February 2018, created the first joint center for the intermediate (refurbishment) repair of helicopter turboshaft engines TV3 -117VM/VMA developed by ODK-Klimov, intended for most Mi and Ka helicopters, including the Mi-8/Mi-17 family.
The base of the first such joint center was UTair-Engineering’s own production site on the territory of Plekhanovo Airport (Tyumen). UTair-Engineering provides the full logistics component of the project, provides a fully equipped base and technical personnel to carry out control tests of engines after repair. Repairs, as well as preparation of technical documentation, are provided by ODK-Klimov.
The first stage of interaction between the companies is to carry out medium engine repairs at the production facilities of the technical base in Tyumen, UTair-Engineering’s own linear maintenance stations in Russia and abroad, as well as at the bases of third-party operators of Mi-8/Mi-17 helicopters.
As part of the second and third stages of implementation of the agreement, support will be organized for the operation of VK-2500PS-03 engines (further development of the TV3-117/VK-2500 family) as part of the latest Russian Mi-171A2 helicopters, and the geography of joint centers for medium engine repairs will be expanded, including on the territory of other states.
The civil aircraft engine industry was represented by the SaM146 power plant, which powers the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) airliners. Produced by Rybinsk PJSC "ODK-Saturn" on the terms of an equal partnership with Safran Aircraft Engines (France). The SaM146 engine is certified according to EASA and AR IAC standards and has been in commercial operation since 2011. The total operating time of the SaM146 power plants in operation as of March 2018 exceeded 830,000 flight hours

Engines of the Russian army, navy and civil aviation. The international engine building forum opened in Moscow.
In one of the VDNH pavilions, leading domestic and foreign designers showed their latest developments. One of the key participants was the St. Petersburg United Engine Corporation Klimov.
Up to 20 percent of the products presented at the exhibition were made in St. Petersburg, at the Klimov enterprise. For example, an engine for a new modification of the Il-114 aircraft. It is indispensable for short-distance civil aviation flights. But it can also be used in military aircraft. Another Klimov development is an engine for MiG fighters. And many more promising solutions.
JSC UEC-Klimov, within the framework of the IX International Conference of Medium-Haul and Regional Aviation of Russia, presented a new turboprop engine TV7-117ST. This was reported by the press service of UEC-Klimov. The international conference “Medium-haul and regional aviation of Russia - 2017” is an important tool aimed at business discussion and synchronization of intersectoral tasks of production, modernization and operation of aircraft of Russian and foreign production, to ensure the harmonious development of medium-haul and regional air transportation.
A monument to the first general designer of the enterprise, Vladimir Yakovlevich Klimov, was unveiled on the territory of JSC UEC-Klimov (part of the United Engine Corporation Rostec State Corporation).
The event is dedicated to the 103rd anniversary of the founding of the design bureau, the 10th anniversary of the United Engine Corporation and the 125th anniversary of the birth of V. Ya. Klimov. 125 carnations at the base of the monument became a symbol of this important anniversary for the entire Russian aircraft industry. The monument was opened by the Chairman of the Committee on Industrial Policy and Innovation of St. Petersburg Maxim Meiksin and the Executive Director of UEC-Klimov Alexander Vatagin. This was reported in the press release of UEC-Klimov JSC.

The United Engine Corporation (part of the Rostec State Corporation) supplied two experimental TV7-117ST power plants to the Voronezh PJSC VASO (part of the UAC) to equip the first prototype of the Russian light military transport aircraft Il-112 V, which is in the process of assembly. delivered on time and in accordance with the obligations under the contract between UEC JSC and IL OJSC.
TV7-117ST engines are assembled entirely from Russian parts, assemblies and components.
As the United Engine Corporation reports in its press release, JSC MMP named after V.V. Chernyshev" received a loan from the Industrial Development Fund (IDF) for the purchase of high-precision machine tools in order to ensure the required standards of quality and reliability of the new TV7-117ST turboprop engine. Creation of the TV7-117ST engine, intended for the promising Russian light military transport aircraft Il-112 V, is one of the priority programs of the UEC. JSC MMP named after V.V. Chernyshev" participates in the development work carried out by UEC on TV7-117ST. The engine will be mass-produced in the expanded cooperation of UEC, the key enterprises of which are JSC Klimov (developer), JSC NPC Gas Turbine Construction Salyut and JSC MMP im. V.V. Chernyshev". At JSC "MMP named after V.V. Chernyshev" produces turbocharger and free turbine components - one of the most technically complex parts of the engine.

Specialists from Tomsk State University (TSU) have created Russia's first 3D printer for monolithic ceramics. In 2017, at the request of Klimov (part of the United Engine Corporation), they intend to print samples of parts for new generation helicopter engines.
It just makes my hair stand on end (and not just on my head) when I see the degree of incompetence of the management of the defense enterprise JSC Klimov (production of aircraft engines in St. Petersburg), or more precisely, its production director S.V. Kurov (http:/ /www.klimov.ru/about/structure/), who is generally unable to control the situation. Apparently S.V. Kurov didn’t get enough of being a manager as a child and continues to play now. The company is in the process of moving to a new production site in Shuvalovo, where a production complex and two nine-story (!) administrative buildings have been built. A heavy multi-ton stamping machine (whose place has long been in a landfill) was brought to the production building from the old site and installed next to new CNC machines that do not tolerate vibration from stamping. Next to the same newest CNC machines they installed old repainted dry grinding machines, which create an incredible amount of abrasive dust and even the installed new dust collectors will not protect 100% from this dust. Machine operators are forced to wait for weeks(!) for the necessary tools and equipment to begin processing parts. But a whole department has been created for the culture of production, idlers from whom walk in a crowd around the machine room, distract operators from work (although people’s lives depend on the quality of the operators’ work in the future) and demand that all rags near the machines be removed, tools and equipment put away in the appropriate drawers, and Apply appropriate tags to the drawers (so that everything is beautiful). Also, at the request of these clowns and with the approval of Kurov, a blue tape was pasted on the floor around the machines (like in Europe and Japan), although they themselves cannot explain why this was done in Geyrope and Japan (see below). The level of managerial idiocy was also evident in the fact that at the old site they cleaned and painted old metal workbenches, brought them to the new site, and from there...threw them into a landfill! One can feel the idiocy of the army - the main thing is not the result, but the process. Apparently S.V. Kurov confused a defense enterprise with an army barracks. November 22, 2013 V.V. Putin visited the enterprise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47fZsKXOtKc), you should have seen the show that they (the enterprise’s managers) gave him. Executive Director A.I. Vatagin told Putin that the team was happy (well, well...). I don’t want to somehow denigrate A.I. Vatagin, he is a really worthy person, who at one time received the star of a hero of the USSR, and who headed the enterprise when he was essentially captured by raiders, apparently he has no information at all about what is happening at the enterprise. And there is complete confusion there, complete isolation of management from the production process, the management staff is incredibly bloated - there are about a dozen directors alone (plus a bunch of deputies and secretaries). The management is mainly busy showing off in front of journalists, distributing bribes to all sorts of inspection commissions (such as AR MAK), as well as daily meetings. Meanwhile, the earnings of personnel directly involved in production are very modest. An operator of the 5th category earns in pure form approximately 22,000-28,000 rubles (not at all according to European standards). According to unverified information, the company's management squandered a decent amount of factory money at the New Year's corporate party and is now looking for any reason to deprive ordinary employees of bonuses. For this purpose, another position was introduced - director of discipline. And this is not the entire list of managerial feats. Experienced operators who have given the best years of their lives to the enterprise simply give up; young people, seeing all this chaos, do not stay long. Professionals capable of producing aircraft parts with micron precision on program-controlled equipment, with many years of production experience and programming skills are not needed by the current management. But the head of the compressor section, I. Ivanov (a tram lout, a redneck and a careerist, who has never worked at a machine for a day and cannot read technical documentation) was recently appointed head of production. Apparently, these are the ones we need. Sad, very sad...
I hope, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation D.O. Rogozin and Gen. Prosecutor V. Chaika will see this message and take appropriate measures.
For reference: in Japan, in production shops they actually glue special tape around machines for a simple reason - they use industrial robots to replace human labor, including for cleaning floors. To prevent the cleaning robot from hitting an obstacle (equipment), the floor around the machines is covered with warning tape.

Not much of a preface... Three years ago, the last post was written, it is quite possible that others were deleted for the security of the enterprise. But apparently the time has come to bring to everyone’s attention that during this time, after publication, nothing has changed.
This is idiocy.
The payment system is very interesting, no matter how hard a person tries to earn money, he will not receive more than the established maximum. Stayed overtime, they cut your bonus, went on a day off, they cut your bonus. The vaunted collective bargaining agreement of the first degree does not work here. Although it says that employees’ salaries are not limited. This probably only applies to the top. Let's say thank you to Comrade Popov and Grigoriev for this. In general, they are funny guys, they know how to deprive people of money and the desire to work. They don’t need literate people, they need to be paid, but they really need illiterate people, they can blame all their shortcomings on them (to put it mildly). It is very strange that the plant produces something. There is no normal organization, there is no purchase of the necessary tools. But there are inscriptions and numbers on the bedside tables and cabinets, so that the worker does not suddenly forget that it is his. Portraits of V.V. are everywhere. Putin. Where he says that we need to make 500 engines a year. Eh... If only V.V. Putin knew what was really here. On paper it looks good, but in reality everything is “...”.
If anyone wants to get a job here, think twice. After all, there is an unspoken agreement with other enterprises not to take money from Klimov. If you got here, then consider that you have been branded. This has been verified.
Dear Rostec State Corporation, if you really want to know the whole truth about the OA Klimov enterprise, come not by agreement with the management so that they can organize a buffet for you, but spontaneously, communicate with the workers directly, with engineers and technologists. A new unknown world of OA Klimov will open to you. Without the presence of leadership positions. And also visit OA Klimov on Lesnaya, equipment that was written off and sold for scrap is still working there. Imagine an enterprise where it is not possible to get an appointment with the executive director; lower-ranking “managers” protect him in every possible way from direct information about the enterprise. Arbitrariness flourishes here. And if you don’t like something, the exit doors are open, because there’s a whole line of workers behind them. You just can't see these workers.
Much, much more can be written about kickbacks and concealment of waste, about the incompetence of management, about waste on holidays, baths and girls, but as they say, “whoever tells the truth over the phone needs to be watched.” We look forward to your visit. We don't promise alcohol, but you will see the circus.
