- Lyulka AL-7
The Lyulka AL-7 was a
turbojet designed byArkhip Mikhailovich Lyulka and produced by his Lyulka design bureau. It hadsupersonic airflow through the first stage of the compressor. TR-7 prototype developing 6,500kgf (14,330 lbf, 63.7 kN) ofthrust was tested in 1952, and the engine was initially intended forIlyushin 's Il-54 bomber. The afterburning version AL-7F was created in 1953. In 1957, Su-7 'Fitters' equipped with AL-7F exceeded Mach 2 at 18,000 m (70,900 ft), which lead to production of Su-7B and Su-9 'Fishpot' equipped with this engine. The engine was adopted for Tu-128P 'Fiddler' in 1960, and it was used in the AS-3 'Kangaroo' cruise missile. TheBeriev Be-10 jetflying boat used a non-afterburning AL-7PB withstainless steel compressor blades.pecifications (AL-7F)
