Tumansky RD-9

RD-9

Preserved Tumansky RD-9B turbojet engine
Type	Turbojet
Manufacturer	Tumansky
First run	1953
Major applications	Yak-25 MiG-19

The Tumansky RD-9 (initially designated Mikulin AM-5) was an early Soviet turbojet engine, not based on pre-existing German or British designs. The AM-5 was available in 1952 and completed testing in 1953; it produced 25.5 kN (5,700 lb_f) thrust without afterburner. AM-5 engine is notable for making possible the first Soviet supersonic interceptor, the MiG-19 and the first all-weather area interceptor, the Yak-25.^[1] When Sergei Tumansky replaced Alexander Mikulin as the OKB-24's chief designer in 1956, the engine was renamed RD-9. The engine was later built under license in China as the WP-6.
