Is there any more information or specifications about the engines described below?
  1. Shvetsov M-72 - Radial engine developed from the M-71.
  2. Tumansky M-92 - Nothing found other than a few things on Wikipedia's Shvetsov engine tree. Sukhoi's fighter with two M-92 engines would have had these radials.
  3. Shvetsov M-93 - Found nothing except for the designation. This was also a radial.
  4. Mikulin AM-41 - Gudkov wanted this inline engine to be mounted on his Gu-1 heavy fighter. I found nothing else.
  5. Mikulin AM-43 inline - The only variant that can be found regarding this inline design is the AM-43NV. Tony Buttler mentions in Soviet Secret Projects Bombers Since 1945 that the AM-43NV's power output was "2,460." Wikipedia has a "nonexistent page" about the AM-43.
  6. Mikulin AM-45 - An inline engine that was suggested to be on various projects like Tupolev's 'Aircraft 64' and possibly the Il-14 high speed bomber.
  7. Mikulin AM-46 - ?
  8. Mikulin AM-47 - ?
  9. Tumansky M-95 - I don't even remember how I found it or what source. The source stated that this radial had a power output of 3,300 hp, but I'm not too sure about that.
  10. Yakovlev M-501 - Diesel engine that was proposed on the Ilyushin Il-26 heavy bomber. Tony Buttler states in Soviet Secret Projects Bombers Since 1945 on page 14, "....6,000 hp (4,494 kW) Yakovlev M-501 diesels...."
  11. Klimov VK-109 - Wikipedia states that it was a development of the VK-108 and was to be used on Myasishchev's VB-109 high-altitude bomber. Don't know what the power output was.
  12. Klimov VK-110 (M-110) - Nothing except for the two designations on Wikipedia. Could have been a hypothetical inline automatically assumed by Wikipedia.
  13. Klimov VK-150 - Ridiculous. Don't think this was even a design. But I could be wrong....

Yakovlev M-501 - 147.1 L, 42 cilinder, water-cooled, 6205 hp. Used in Soviet Navy.
But, it wasn't a biggest Soviet diesel engine for aircrafts. Charomskiy M-305 - X28, 10000 hp engine, for unknown bomber project.

Did you see this book: Russian Piston Aero Engines: The Complete Story?
 
Shvetsov M-72 - 2250 hp, used on early Beriyev Be-6.
Klimov VK-109 - based on VK-108, with water injection. Power - 1800 hp in 1946, and, planned - 2075 hp.
Klimov VK-110 - based on VK-109, 2100 hp, only project.
Klimov VK-150 - bigger than VK-108/109/110, actually - concept, 3700 hp.

Nope but thank you. Will probably try and get it eventually.

Exceptional! Thank you. Anything about Shvetsov M-92 and 93?

Do you know how many cylinders the VK-109, -110, and -150 had?
 
VK-109 -> 12
VK-110 -> probably 12
VK-150 -> 24

EDIT:

Is there any info on the M-49TK engine? All I have found is on Wikipedia, that it was planned to power the Tu-79, a variant of the Tu-4.
 
Can anyone please confirm the existence of a "VK-107U"? I saw it mentioned in the Yak Fighters in Action book.
It is also apparently mentioned in this photographed book:

Apparently it is an 1,800hp+ variant. Is it maybe a misnomer for the VK108?

Caza YAK-9

Desarrollado por la oficina de diseño de A. S. Yakovlev en paralelo con el YAK-3,el YAK-9 fue una evolución del YAK-7DI ( por IDalnii istrebel o caza de largo alcance) con ala de largueros metálicos para dar mayor capacidad de combustible y alcance.Entró en producción a mediados de 1942, mostrandose como un respetable rival para los cazas de la LUFTWAFFE;las versiones de largo alcance escoltaban a los bombarderos pesados estadounidenses cuando la situación lo requería y en cierta ocasión un grupo de YAK-9 voló desde Ucrania hasta Bari,en el sur de Italia,para apoyar a los guerrilleros yugoslavos.Hacia 1944 superaba en cantidad al resto de los cazas soviéticos juntos,permaneció en producción en la post-guerra,construyéndose un total de 16769 ejemplares de todas las versiones,siendo entregados los últimos en agosto de 1946.
