The Kolesov RD-36 was a supersonic turbojet engine used on various Soviet aircraft projects.
Developed at OKB-36 (P. A. Kolesov) and produced at the Rybinsk Motor-Building Plant. The RD-36-51A engine was developed for the Tu-144D supersonic passenger aircraft. A simplified modification with a fixed nozzle for the high-altitude Myasishchev M-17 was designated RD-36-51B. The engine develops a thrust of 7,000 kgf (15,000 lbf; 69,000 N). The RD36-51A engine passed all state bench and flight tests in 1973–75 (with flight testing on the Tu-144D). The engine's specifications were: [1]
For the high-altitude M-17 "Stratosphera" aircraft (NATO reporting name Mystic-A) a single-shaft TRD RD36-51B was created—a modification of the RD36-51A engine with an unregulated nozzle and oxygen supply to the combustion chamber. The engine provides long-term operation at an altitude of 26,000 m (85,000 ft) at low flight speed (M = 0.6).
RD-36-51A / B are released in a small series (about 50 pieces).
Thrust – 16,150 kgf (35,600 lbf; 158,400 N)
