- Tumansky R-13
Tumansky R-13 designed by
Sergei Alekseevich Gavrilov is a turbojet engine.Background
The
Tumansky R-13 is a development of the successfulTumansky R-11 engine. It is a two-spoolaxial-flow turbojet featuring a new 5-stage high-pressure compressor, new combustion chamber design to facilitate restarting the engine at high altitudes, new afterburner, and greater use of titanium components. It is used byMiG-21 M, MF, SM, and SMT, andSukhoi Su-15 M and TM. R-13 is also built under license in China as LM WP13.pecifications (R-13-300)
