VK-1600V - a turboshaft power

The VK-1600V is a turboshaft aircraft engine created at the Klimov Design Bureau of the Russian United Engine Corporation.
The VK-1600V has cruising powers of 600 and 900 hp. with takeoff power up to 1400 hp. and emergency - 1750 hp, created for medium-sized civil and military helicopters, primarily for the Ka-62.

The VK-1600V has an optimal design for its power level, using a number of advanced technical solutions and, in terms of performance, is close to engines of a similar class. The project is being implemented at a high pace, achieved through the use of the latest solutions: computer modeling and 3D printing, the scale of which has not previously been achieved in Russia. At the end of 2023, the engine is at the testing stage and is being prepared for installation on the helicopter. There are also plans to create a turboprop version - the VK-1600S, which can be installed on light aircraft.
