Oleksandr Ivchenko
Oleksandr Georgiyowych Ivchenko (, , ; born in Tokmak; died 30 June 1968 in Zaporizhzhia) was a Soviet aircraft engine design engineer. Life In 1920 Ivchenko began an apprenticeship in a metal foundry. He later completed his studies at the Institute for Mechanical Engineering in Kharkiv, which he left in 1935 as a designer for internal combustion engines. He became a test bench engineer for aircraft engines at Plant No. 29 in Zaporizhzhi. Shortly thereafter he was transferred to the development department for piston engines, where he soon became chief designer. In 1939, the development of the engine type M-89 was agreed, which was to deliver 1500 hp, however Plant No. 29 was transferred to Siberia. Ivchenko concentrated on the preparations for the series production of the ASch-82FN engine type, which was also intended for the Lavochkin La-5. In 1945, again in Zaporizhzhia, he became chief designer in Development Office No. 478, and in 1963 he became its general designe ...

PZL M-15 Belphegor
The PZL M-15 was a jet-powered sesquiplane designed and manufactured by the Polish aircraft company PZL Mielec, WSK PZL-Mielec for agricultural aircraft, agricultural aviation. In reference to both its strange looks and relatively loud jet engine, the aircraft was nicknamed ''Belphegor'', after the noisy demon. Development of the M-15 can be traced back to a Soviet Union, Soviet requirement for a modern agricultural aircraft to succeed the Antonov An-2; it was at the insistence of Soviet officials that jet propulsion would power the type. WSK Mielec's design team recognised the value of the An-2's biplane configuration to the role and set about developing an initial experimental aircraft, the Lala-1, for ("Flying Laboratory 1") to explore the use of a jet engine with such a configuration. On 20 May 1973, the first M-15 prototype performed its maiden flight; even during the test flight phase, it was apparent that there were several drawbacks to the aircraft, including its poor han ...

State Enterprise
A state-owned enterprise (SOE) is a business entity created or owned by a national or local government, either through an executive order or legislation. SOEs aim to generate profit for the government, prevent private sector monopolies, provide goods at lower prices, implement government policies, or serve remote areas where private businesses are scarce. The government typically holds full or majority ownership and oversees operations. SOEs have a distinct legal structure, with financial and developmental goals, like making services more accessible while earning profit (such as a state railway). They can be considered as government-affiliated entities designed to meet commercial and state capitalist objectives. Terminology The terminology around the term state-owned enterprise is murky. All three words in the term are challenged and subject to interpretation. First, it is debatable what the term "state" implies (e.g., it is unclear whether municipally owned corporations and ent ...

Continental CD-300
The Thielert Centurion is a series of diesel cycle aircraft engines for general aviation originally built by Thielert, which was bought by Aviation Industry Corporation of China's Tecnify Motors subsidiary and is currently marketed by Continental Motors. They are based on heavily modified Mercedes-Benz automotive engines. Design All Centurion engines are liquid-cooled, turbocharged, and employ a single-lever power control (SLPC) associated with a full authority digital engine control (FADEC). This simplifies engine management for the pilot, as well as improving reliability as it prevents the engine being operated improperly. The series utilizes either jet fuel or diesel fuel. The high compression ratio of the engine combined with the digitally controlled fuel injection system mirrors similar advances in automotive technology. Centurion series engines are always fitted with constant speed propellers which allow the engine to be operated at optimum speed at all times. Howev ...
