prototype Tu-95) with TVD TV-12. [A1] Factory flight tests were carried out by lead test pilot M. A. Nyukhtikov and chief engineer D. I. Kantor. In March 1955, the TVD TV-12 was successfully tested. The NK-12MV single-shaft turboprop engine consists of the following main components: a 14-stage axial compressor, an annular combustion chamber, a 5-stage jet turbine, an unregulated jet nozzle and a differential gearbox (gear ratio 0.0882). The degree of pressure increase in the compressor varies from 9 to 13 depending on the height, as well as on the position of the mechanization of the compressor. The rated speed of rotation of the motor shaft is 8300 rpm, each of the two propellers is 735 rpm. NK-12 is the most powerful and economical turboprop engine in the world.
