Lyulka
Encyclopedia
Lyul'ka was a USSR aero-engine design bureau and manufacturer from 1938 to the 1990s, when manufacturing and design elements were integrated as NPO Saturn
based at Rybinsk
. The Lyul'ka design bureau had its roots in the Kharkov Aviation Institute where Arkhip Mikhailovich Lyulka
was working with a team designing the ATsN (Agregat Tsentralnovo Nadduva - Centralised supercharger) installation on the Petlyakov Pe-8
bomber. Lyul'ka was responsible for designing the first Soviet gas turbine engines. Preferring to steer away from copying captured German equipment, it succeeded in producing home grown engines.
