Following the centenary of PJSC NPO Saturn, this year 2017, the famous German concern BMW will celebrate its centenary. The company was officially registered in July 1917, and its founders were Karl Rapp and Gustav Otto.

The birth of the BMW brand historically coincided with revolutionary changes in Russia and became a landmark for the Bavarian brand: the fate of Bayerische Motoren-Werke was inextricably linked with Russia.

Today's world leader in manufacturing cars and off-road vehicles, at the beginning of its activity, made a bet on Russia: on June 5, 1924, the first contract was signed for the supply of 50 inline six-cylinder BMW aircraft engines to the Soviet Union. Their testing was carried out on stands at the Scientific Automobile and Motor Institute (NAMI). Vladimir Yakovlevich Klimov supervised the work, later appointed chief designer of the Rybinsk plant.

BMW IV engine showed at the stand a power of only 230–240 hp. with., instead of the declared 300 liters. With. The results of the first tests led to a cooling of interest in the products of the Bavarian plant. However, on October 19, 1925, a joint meeting of representatives of Aviatrust and the Directorate of the Air Force of the Red Army (UVVS) made the following decision: “ To recognize as unconditionally desirable the involvement of first-class foreign engine-building firms both in technical assistance to our engine building and in direct work in the USSR ...". And in February 1927, a delegation of Aviatrust left for Germany to negotiate with BMW on the construction of an aircraft engine plant in the USSR and the purchase of a license for the BMW-VI aircraft engine.

On October 14, 1927, an agreement for the licensed production of BMW-VI engines in the USSR was signed. One copy of this document is stored in the Rybinsk branch of the State Archive of the Yaroslavl Region (RbF GAYAO. Fund R-39, op. 3, d. 28). " ... Aviatrust represented by the chairman of the board M. G. Uryvaev, acting on the basis of the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of September 27, 1927 (minutes No. 227, clause 11), on the one hand, and the German Joint Stock Company "Bavarian Motor Plants" (" Bayrische Motoren-Werke"), Munich, hereinafter referred to as "BMW", represented by the directors Franz Josef Popp and Richard Voigt ... have entered into this agreement as follows: ... "BMW" grants Aviatrust the right to use both all their present patents and additional patents that will be applied for, registered or acquired by BMW during the entire term of this agreement and which BMW will use in the field of production of BMW-VI aircraft engines. "BMW" provides for the use of Aviatrest all structural and working drawings, as well as all its technical experience related to the production of engines of the BMW-VI type ... in particular, "BMW" undertakes to transfer to Aviatrest all working drawings of parts».

The term of the contract was 5 years. Aviatrust paid 50,000 dollars under the contract and, after accepting the first engines, had to deduct 7.5% of the cost of each engine in favor of BMW, in total not less than 50,000 dollars a year. Under the contract, BMW specialists were obliged to train Soviet specialists at German factories.

Among the seconded specialists were the engineers of plant No. 26 Focht, Briskin, Bychkov and Zarudny. The Rybinsk branch of the SAYAO keeps their detailed - several dozen pages - report on this trip (RbF SAYAO. Fund R-39, op. 3, file 49.). Leafing through this document, the engineers write that “ in pursuance of the contract at plant No. 26, all working drawings of the motor were received from Germany, indicating tolerances, a specification of parts indicating grades of material, sheets of plans for machining parts, drawings of fixtures, photographs of motor parts in processing and other materials. By the time of the business trip, they were studied».

The task for the business travelers was formulated as follows: “ get all data about copper and aluminum alloys used by the BMW factory; to study the methods of forming and melting aluminum and bronze castings; obtain data on heat treatment of parts; get to know the organization of production ...».

« The entire administration of the BMW plant treated us extremely kindly and attentively, - the Rybinsk engineers write in the report. - At the plant, we were given a separate room for classes and complete freedom to visit all workshops, except for the experimental one ... During our stay, we received an additional 200 drawings of fixtures and tools, of which most were produced after December 1928, when acceptance was made material from BMW, about 40 photographs of details and models in processing ... about 30 sketches of fixtures and molds ... forms of documents on the organization of production management have been received ...»

The general characteristic of the German plant begins with the calculation of its profit. The plant produces two brands of BMW engines, two brands of BMW motorcycles, and repairs these products. At the same time, the company is preparing for the mass production of a Pratt & Whitney engine with a capacity of 525 hp, recently purchased from Canada. With. The annual profit of the plant is 7 million dollars a year. At the same time, 2,000 workers and 400 employees work at the plant.

A significant part of the report of the Rybinsk engineers is devoted to the organization of the management of the technical part of the enterprise: “ Leading the production Technical Director, subordinate to the general ... He is subordinated to the “production manager”, “who has at his disposal: a preliminary cost estimate bureau, an adaptation bureau, an order bureau, a labor bureau, an accounting department, all shops, except for the foundry and model ... At the head of each shop - chief master... All production management is striking in its simplicity, clarity, lack of formalism, the minimum number of documents, their simplicity and extremely short path through them... The accompanying card is at the same time an invoice for the delivery of products for their manufacture .. Between the masters of various workshops, there is an extremely close connection and extraordinary cohesion in the work of everything technical staff... »

« So simple circuit production management is possible only with the presence of highly qualified, experienced, extremely disciplined and technically cultured workers and technicians, as in a BMW plant ... The working day is packed to the limit. The time of the beginning and end of work is not considered from the moment the worker passes through the checkpoint, but from the moment the actual start and end of work, the time of changing clothes, washing hands, etc., is not included in the number of hours of the working day. No entry and exit records are maintained... Foremen closely monitor the earnings of their workers, checking the statements with their own hands each time...". This description is still read with interest today, 90 years later.

The report has detailed description engine and some mechanical and thermal processes, in particular, a description of threading on 4 sheets, as well as a description heat treatment main parts of the engine. Nearby is the technology of manufacturing alloys of various purposes. Noteworthy is the list of workshops, “ most of the buildings are old, located on the outskirts of Munich,” the authors of the report note. At the same time, they make lists of equipment for each of the workshops, paying special attention to the brands of machines and fixtures. So, in the assembly shop "21 workbenches, 4 high-speed drills, 1 Hydraulic Press, 2 hand presses, 1 lathe, 1 piston heating oven, 2 washing baths, 1 piston ring grinding machine, pipeline compressed air, pump testing machine". 70 workers work in the assembly shop.

The device of the test station is curious: it " open type, deepened into the ground, surrounded by an earthen rampart, around which a track for testing motorcycles is arranged. The station has 10 test machines (balancing), and the machines are non-roll-out, i.e. the station is open. The machines are located under the floor of the station so that the motor on the machine is at the level of the station floor. The machines are separated from each other by stone walls. The area occupied by each machine is 10 × 15 m. ... The station is connected to the installation site by an underground tunnel through which motors are fed to and from the station. By building a station deepened into the ground, the plant hoped to avoid noise during testing, but did not achieve this goal, the Rybinsk engineers write. - For our conditions, this type of station is unsuitable, because it is open and it is impossible to work in our climate in winter - the test site and the pit will be covered with snow ...».

From the point of view of Rybinsk residents, a noteworthy feature of the production at the BMW plant in Munich is the organization of transport. " Transport, inter-shop and intra-shop, is carried out with the help of battery electric carts and manual ones with lifting platforms. The transfer of goods from floor to floor is carried out on three elevators. These transport and lifting mechanisms fully ensure the uninterrupted supply of materials and semi-finished products from shop to shop.

It should be noted that the plant does not attach of great importance intra-factory transport, since its cost, given the high cost of material and processing, occupies a very small share in the total cost of the product. However, from our point of view, it is set up perfectly and works flawlessly.». « In total, we spent 64 days abroad, of which 4 days were on the way, in Munich at the BMW plant - 50, in Berlin - 10. ... tools for plant No. 26. In addition, Zarudny went to the Demag plant for one day to clarify issues related to ordering electric trains for this plant for plant No. 26 ...».

The history of the plant began at the height of the First World War with the Highest Approval by Emperor Nicholas II of the Regulations of the Council of Ministers on the issuance big order for the military department to five Russian automobile plants, among which was Russian Renault JSC. The plant in Rybinsk was built from scratch in the shortest possible time. The main production site of the joint-stock company was located in St. Petersburg (now the Klimov plant). Already in 1917, Renault aircraft engines for the Ilya Muromets aircraft began to be assembled there. At the same time, the Directorate of the Air Force offered to place an order in Rybinsk for the production of several hundred aircraft engines. But these plans were thwarted by the revolutionary events of 1917.

Construction of the first buildings of the Russian Renault plant in Rybinsk, 1916

In the summer of 1918, the plant was nationalized, and began to carry out work on the restoration of vehicles to provide for the Red Army. But already on May 10, 1924, a government decree was issued on the transfer of the plant to the system of aviation industry enterprises, where it received its historical designation: “plant No. 26”. Thus began the history of the Rybinsk aircraft engine industry. At the end of 1926, it was decided to start production of the BMW-VI engine in the USSR, which became the prototype of the Soviet M-17 engine for R-5 reconnaissance aircraft and TB-1 and TB-3 heavy bombers. Over the next 10 years, the plant produced about 8 thousand M-17s, which allowed Soviet government refuse to purchase engines abroad.

Classes on the study of the M-17 motor at the courses of the factory masters

In 1930, pilot production of the M-34 engine began in Rybinsk, thanks to which Valery Chkalov made the first 56-hour non-stop flight on an ANT-25 aircraft along the Moscow-Arctic-Far East route. In 1935, the design bureau of the plant was headed by Vladimir Yakovlevich Klimov, under whose leadership a family of "hundredth" engines M-100, M-103, M-105 was created, for which the plant was awarded the highest award of the Soviet state - the Order of Lenin. However, all these successes did not help the factory workers to avoid the bloody 1937. The plant then lost many leading specialists, including the director of the plant G.N. Korolev, who was removed from his post and shot. Alas, the official chronicle tried not to mention those events. Archival documents contain a lot of information about how difficult the atmosphere at the enterprise was then. So, for example, in the process of recreating the full history of the enterprise for the 100th anniversary, plant workers unexpectedly found in the archives the names of 3 more “lost” directors of the plant.

V.Ya.Klimov, V.P.Balandin, P.D.Lavrentiev, D.I.Golovanev, A.M.Myzdrikov, 1939

Then came the hard forties. On the eve of the war, the government demanded a significant increase in the production of engines. From the beginning of 1941, the plant management sent a daily report to the country's leadership on the number of engines produced. But in the fall, fascist troops approached Tver and a decision was made to evacuate the plant to Ufa. In almost two weeks, 14,500 workers, 1,700 engineering and technical staff, 1,300 employees with all the equipment and 300 sets of motors, having dismantled even power cables, left Rybinsk in an organized manner on barges, trains, and cars. At the same time, the operation was so covert that later German aviation carried out air raids on empty factory buildings for a long time, thinking that the plant continued to work. More than half of the bombs (1026) dropped on the Yaroslavl region during the war years fell on the territory of the plant.

Destroyed factory buildings, 1942

Together with the people from Rybinsk, the plant from Leningrad was also evacuated to Ufa. In a short time, a giant plant was built in Ufa, with the creation of which the history of the famous Ufa engine building began. But in 1942, the Nazis were thrown back from Moscow and the plant in Rybinsk began to rise and ash. Already in April, the first echelon with people and equipment arrived from Ufa to Rybinsk. Simply amazing is the will and faith of the people of those years in victory over the enemy, who at the very height of the war were sure that the enemy would never return. There was neither Stalingrad nor the Kursk Bulge yet, Leningraders were dying of hunger in the besieged city, and in Rybinsk work was already underway to restore the workshops of the enterprise. In 1943, OKB-250 was transferred to Rybinsk from Ufa under the leadership of V.A. Dobrynin. In 1944, in the cold workshops of the plant, half-starved workers of the enterprise assembled the first M-62IR engine for Li-2 aircraft, which is better known to aviators as the engine of the legendary "maize" - ASh-62IR (designer A.D. Shvetsov). Surprisingly, the An-2 aircraft were produced right up to 2002 and are still in service.

Production of ASh-62IR engine

In the postwar years, the development of the VD-4K engine (designer V.A. Dobrynin) began in Rybinsk for strategic bomber Tu-85 and mastering the serial production of the ASh-73TK piston engine (designer A.D. Shvetsov) for the long-range strategic bomber Tu-4. But the plant was not limited to the aviation theme. It also produced the D-36 diesel engine for the Belarus tractor, and the ML-20 Chaika outboard motor, and even trolleybus parts and assemblies. However, the jet era was inexorably approaching, which required the creation of technologically completely new production facilities at the plant. In 1955, the production of turbojet engines of the VD-7 series (designer V.A. Dobrynin), created by Rybinsk designers, was mastered, which were subsequently installed on 3M, M-50 strategic bombers, and Tu-22 supersonic bombers.

The first tractor "Belarus" with a Rybinsk diesel engine, 1954

In 1960, P.F. was appointed director of the plant. Derunov, and the chief designer of the design bureau P.A. Kolesov, whose names are associated with the most glorious years in the history of the Rybinsk enterprise. Began mass production turbojet engines AL-7F-1 (designer A.M. Lyulka) for Su-7B fighter bombers, Su-9 interceptor fighters. Under the leadership of Kolesov, unique aircraft engines were created for aircraft that were ahead of their time, such as the T-4 Sotka bomber-missile carrier, the Tu-144D (Dalniy) supersonic passenger aircraft, the Yak-141 multipurpose VTOL fighter and others . At the same time, the production of diesel engines is expanding. Products with Rybinsk diesel engines are supplied to 53 countries of the world. In 1966, the merits of the plant were awarded the second Order of Lenin.

The 70s - another significant milestone in the history of the enterprise - the development of the production of engines of the Perm Design Bureau under the leadership of P.S. Solovyov D-30KU and D-30KP for long-haul passenger aircraft Il-62M and transport Il-76. In parallel, parts were also produced for engines submarines, and products for helicopters, and snowmobiles "Buran". The 1980s were marked by the start of serial production of the D-30KU-154 turbojet bypass engine (designer P.A. Soloviev) for the Tu-154M medium-haul passenger aircraft, the creation of the RD-38 engine (designer P.A. Kolesov) for the Yak-38M carrier-based attack aircraft , and other engines for advanced, including unmanned aircraft models.

However, in the late 1980s, the company already felt a noticeable disruption of economic ties in the country. And the subsequent collapse of the USSR raised the question of survival in the face of political and economic instability before the plant staff. February 17, 1992 by the meeting of the Council labor collective decision was made to reorganize the company Joint-Stock Company. In the same year of 1992, the Rybinsk Engine Building Plant and the Rybinsk Engine Design Bureau were transformed into Rybinsk Motors OJSC and RKBM OJSC, respectively. The latter was later determined as the main base for the creation of domestic marine gas turbine engines. A new area of ​​activity of the Rybinsk plant was also the creation and production of gas turbine engines for generating electricity, which is one of the main activities of the enterprise today. The production of gas turbines of small and medium power for the energy and gas industries has begun.

In 2001, Rybinsk Motors OJSC (which at that time already included RKBM OJSC) and Moscow-based A. Lyulka-Saturn OJSC merged, and NPO Saturn OJSC was formed. Today, NPO Saturn, in cooperation with other UEC enterprises, is implementing a number of large-scale projects in the civil and military spheres. The company is the parent company of the Civil Aviation Engines division, a business unit of the UEC. Jointly with Safran Aircraft Engines, a Russian-French SaM146 power plant for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 passenger aircraft is being produced in Rybinsk. To implement the project, in 2005 VolgAero CJSC was opened, a joint production venture between NPO Saturn and Snecma Moteurs. The Russian PJSC NPO Saturn is responsible for the development and production of the fan and compressor low pressure, low pressure turbines, general engine assembly and testing, Safran Aircraft Engines - for the compressor high pressure, combustion chamber, high-pressure turbine, gearbox, automatic control system and integration of the power plant.

SaM146, created on the basis of a combination of experience and new technologies of Russian and Western engine building, is the first gas turbine engine produced in Russia to receive an international EASA type certificate. Today, the possibility of participation of NPO Saturn in the program for the creation of the PD-35 engine is being considered. Also, the enterprise continues to produce D-30KP engines for aircraft of the Il-76 family. KB NPO Saturn has developed the AL-55I engine, which is installed on the Indian combat training aircraft HJT-36. Another line of work of the Rybinsk engine builders is small-sized gas turbine engines installed on air- and sea-based cruise missiles. Within the framework of the UEC, NPO Saturn was also identified as a center for offshore gas turbine construction.

General Director of JSC "UEC" Alexander Artyukhov: “The century-old history of NPO Saturn inspires respect and sincere admiration. The enterprise has gone through a difficult but glorious path of formation of the domestic engine building industry. For mastering each new brand unique technology is worth the hard work of many generations of specialists - designers, engineers, workers, who often completely subordinated their way of life to the interests of production and strengthening the country's defense capability. So it was in the years of the Great Patriotic War, and in the post-war period, when our country sought to take a leading position in this high-tech industry.”

Now the enterprise produces about 600 gas turbine engines per year. various topics- for the sky, earth and sea. The geography of customers of the company's products covers 30 countries of the world. In general, in the business structure of PJSC NPO Saturn (according to the results of 2015), 70% is occupied by aviation products, 6% - products for ground-based industrial applications, 20% - R&D, 4% - other products. In total, over the history of its existence, the Rybinsk engine-building complex has designed about 40 types of products, produced almost 50 thousand aircraft engines for fighters, bombers, transport aircraft and passenger liners. Today, the enterprise includes: a production serial site, an experimental design bureau and a pilot plant in Rybinsk, an engineering center in Perm, branches of the Scientific and Technical Center in St. Petersburg and the Scientific and Technical Center in Omsk, as well as subsidiaries and joint ventures within the framework of international programs .

In recent years, the enterprise has carried out a whole range of measures for technological modernization and technical re-equipment of production. Thus, new production units were put into operation, engaged in the processing of compressor blades, turbine blades using progressive technological processes and modern equipment. NPO Saturn pursues an active innovation policy - additive technologies, 3D modeling are used, parts made of polymer composite materials are being introduced, etc. NPO Saturn has created an innovative Center for Additive Technologies (CAT). It presents all the most promising and industry-demanded areas of additive technologies.

This year, NPO Saturn put into operation a new specialized hardware and software complex (SPAK) developed by one of the Russian companies with a capacity of 114 Tflops. The total amount of RAM of the SPAK supercomputer is 14.5 TB, the total number of processors of the computing field is 204, the total number of cores is 2808. Due to the combination of high-performance computing resources - AL-100 clusters (in 2008 this supercomputer was recognized as the most high-performance in the industry of Russia and the CIS) and the new SPAK into a single computing cluster, a unique supercomputer center has been created at NPO Saturn. It will be used to implement complex, time-consuming, resource-intensive calculations, to optimize the design development of the main range of the enterprise's products.

And, of course, it is worth mentioning separately the contribution of factory workers to the development social sphere, and not only factory. In addition to its own developed social and sports infrastructure, thanks to the enterprise in Rybinsk, social programs: the plant built a palace of culture, football and water-skiing stadiums, a swimming pool, kindergartens, recreation centers, millions of square meters of housing and many other objects of the social and industrial infrastructure of the region. Today PJSC "NPO "Saturn" is more than 12,000 employees, 12,000 pieces of equipment, 1 million square meters. meters of production space. In total, the number of employees, taking into account subsidiaries and affiliates, is 14,000 people.

According to strategic plans development and the corresponding planned need for personnel, NPO Saturn implements plans for interaction with specialized educational institutions and career guidance programs in order to attract potential future employees. Every year, the enterprise employs about 200 young specialists (of which 66% are graduates of higher educational institutions). Currently, young employees aged 16 to 35 make up about a third of the company's employees.

Deputy General Director - Managing Director of PJSC NPO Saturn Viktor Polyakov:“Behind this impressive anniversary date are tens of thousands of produced engines, the fate of several generations of people, their everyday great work for the good of the country. The activities of the Rybinsk Motor-Building Plant have repeatedly been awarded the highest state awards Soviet Union and today receives the highest appreciation of the Russian state for its contribution to strengthening the defense capability, energy and transport security of our Motherland.”

The editors of the portal congratulate the staff of NPO Saturn on the anniversary
and thanks the press services of the UEC and the enterprise for their help in preparing the material.
