Khatchurov R-35-300

[kaiserbill]

I've used the search function, and not come up with anything on this engine.
Even generally on the internet, informatio seems very scarce.

This engine powered the last and most capable editions of the Mig-23, the ML, MLA, and MLD.

It is a very powerful turbojet, rated at 8500kg dry, and 13 000kg afterburning, in a relatively compact package, all things considered.

Some questions:

Who were Khatchurov?
I see the Mig-23 were generally powered by the Tumansky R-27 or R-29.
Yet the Mig-23SM was fitted with an engine designated Khatchurov R-29-300.
How are Khatchurov and Tumansky linked?

Is the R-35 an improved R-29?

Does ayone have any further info on the R-35?

Yes the R-35 is an improved R-29 , it's lighter, yet more powerful. Here's a bit of info here , you'll need to put it through a translator.

For comparison, here's R-29:

The R-29B version powered MiG-23BN/MiG-27 and Su-22 subtypes.
PS: Seems Khachaturov was the chief designer of this engine working in the Tumansky OKB.

Thank you Lancer.
I've just had a brief look at the R-35 page, and there is already a far better description there than anywhere else I've seen.
Great detail, in fact.

It certainly looks like a very impressive engine.

I'll have a closer read through it now.

Thanks.

Comparing the R29 and R35 engines, how changes its reliability and durability?

Basic information on WP-15, Chinese domestic copy of the R29-300 (with modifications?)

MiG-23ML pilots generally sing the praises of the R-35-300, which had high thrust and benign flight characteristics. Don't know about durability though.
