Tushino Soyuz Machine-Building Design Bureau (TMKB)
Tumanskii was later known as MNPK Soyuz (Alliance) and later as AO 'Moskovskii Aviamotornyi Nauchno-tekhnicheskii kompleks (AMNTK - Airmotor technological complex) "Soyuz".
Sergei Konstantinovich Tumansky was a leading gas turbine engine designer and the most prominent designer of aircraft engines in the USSR. He was born on 21 May 1901 in Minsk, and died on 9 September 1973, Moscow. He worked in TSIAM (1931-38, 40), at the aircraft-engine plant N 29, in LEAH. Since 1943. - substitute. main designer in OKB A.A. Of mil'kumova.
The Tumanskii construction bureau (KB) began as the Mikulin KB which was established in 1943. Tumanskii worked on superchargers during World War II and became the deputy of the Mikulin KB. The facility acquired resources from Mitteldeutschmotorenwerke 1946. Since 1955. - main designer, and from 1956 through 1973. - the design project leader OF OKB. When Mikulin was removed in 1956, Tumanskii was appointed General Constructor of the renamed bureau. With his active participation a number TRD - TURBOJET ENGINE, which ensured development in the USSR of jet supersonic military aviation, was created. The results of his studies created prerequisites for developing the engines Of ryy-e00 - first domestic turbojet TRD - TURBOJET ENGINE with the supersonic two-stage compressor. Tumanskii engines have been built in larger numbers than any other construction bureau (well over 70,000).
Tumanskiy was awarded the Hero of Socialist Labor (1957). Lenin prize winner (1957), Gospremii OF THE USSR (1946). He was rewarded with four Order of Lenins, with orders of the October Revolution, of the Red Star, with medals. He was apecialist in the field of mechanics and machine building. Corresponding member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences for the department of mechanics and control processes from 26 June 1964, academician for the department of mechanics and control processes (machine building) from 26 November 1968.
In 1961 the Tumansky engine design bureau was tasked with taking the R27-300 turbojet, then in development for what would become the MiG-23 fighter, and developing a non-afterburning vectored-thrust version, the "R27V-300", with two to be used in a side-by-side configuration in the Yakovlev Yak-36 experimental VTOL aircraft, the USSR's answer to the British Kestrel. The Tumansky R27V-300 was a two-shaft turbojet, with a five-stage LP compressor; a six-stage HP compressor; an annular combustor; single-stage HP and LP turbines; an electric starter-generator; and twin hydraulically-actuated vectored thrust nozzles. Built in 1972, the MiG-21bis ‘Fishbed-L’ was the initial third- generation development of the MiG-21 series with the MNPK Soyuz (Tumansky / Tumanski) R-25-300 turbojet.
One of the most advanced civil developments by the Tushino Soyuz Machine-Building Design Bureau (TMKB) is the RD-1700 engine for new-generation trainers and lightweight general purpose civil aircraft. The RD-1700 engine has been developed in cooperation with the Central Institute of Aircraft Engine Building and a number of aggregate-building design bureaus. The engine's quantity production is planned to be launched at the Moscow Machine-Building Enterprise named after Chernyshov, the manufacturer of the RD-33 engines for MiG-29 fighters and TV7-117 engines for Il-114 passenger-carriers.
