History of Aviadvigatel OJSC
AVIADVIGATEL Open Stock Company is known worldwide as the leading design bureau in Russia specializing in developing civil and military aircraft engines, and industrial gas turbines and electric power plants utilizing the aero-engine technologies.
The Company headed by Arkady Dmitrievich Shvetsov from its foundation date in 1939 till 1953 developed a family of powerful star-type air cooled piston engines which are used to power the airplanes developed by Polikarpov, Tupolev, Sukhoi, Lavochkin, Ilijushin, Antonov and helicopters developed by Mil and Jakovlev playing an important role both in the WW II victory and in the post-war period.
Starting in early 1950s the Company headed by Pavel Alexandrovich Soloviev (Mr.Shvetsov's successor) engaged in development of new gas turbine engines. Every individual engine of that time can be referred to as the first and the best.
The D-20P engine which was installed on the Tu-124 aircraft in 1960 was the first Russian bypass turbojet. Next was the D-30 engine which was the most advanced engine of the time and became the basis for development of a family of advanced aircraft engines. The family includes the most fuel efficient of that time D-30KU and D-30KP (IL-62M, Tu-154M, IL-76), the unbeatable D-30F6 engine for the MIG-31 fighter-interceptor aircraft, and the PS-90A - the engine that powers the Russian aircraft in the beginning of XXI century. The PS-90A powers the new generation Tu-204, Tu-214, IL-96-300 aircraft, the latest version of the IL-76MF cargo aircraft, and the IL-96-30PU VIP airliners of the President of the Russian Federation.
Since 1989 up to June, 2001 with a break in 1995-1997 the enterprise was headed by Yuri Evgenievich Reshetnikov.
In June 2001 Alexander A. Inozemtsev, General Designer, became the General Director of "Aviadvigatel" Open Joint Stock Company (since October 2006 he has occupied the position of the Managing Director & General Designer).
In October 2003, "Perm Motors Group Management Company" of a closed joint type was established to coordinate the corporative relations and management of the Perm Motors Group companies, resolve strategic marketing matters and investment planning.
"Aviadvigatel" OJSC was merged in the Perm Motors Group.
Aviadvigatel's General Director & General Designer, Alexander A. Inozemtsev, was appointed the first General Director of the Perm Motors Group (has been at the head of Perm Motors Group till September 2006).
On January 21, 2009, as set forth in the Decision made by extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders the sole executive powers of the Aviadvigatel OJSC (General Director) were given to "ODK" Management Company LLC (United Engine Building Corporation). Aviadvigatel OJSC became a part of the "ODK". From February, 10 2010 UNITED ENGINE BUILDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT COMPANY LLC was reorganized into UNITED ENGINE BUILDING CORPORATION MANAGEMENT COMPANY OJSC.

Year of 2006
The integration of the second-generation sound attenuation structures into the PS-90À
aero-engine was completed. This gave Tu-204, Tu-214 and IL-96 aircraft a key leading edge and in particular the aircraft have become compliant with ICAO Stage 4 noise requirements.
The certificates of IL-96-300 and IL-76TD-90VD aircraft conformity to ICAO Stage 4 were obtained.
IL-96-300 Scheduled flights of IL-96-300 were started at Cubana de Aviacion S. A. (Cuba).
IL-96-300 aircraft was certified for application at altitudes up to 3 000 meters above sea level. The permit for take-off operations at high altitudes made the aircraft more competitive.
Year of 2007
Late in 2007 "Aviadvigatel" OJSC got an official document that confirms the certification of PS-90A1 aero-engine. This document is Supplement No. 29 to PS-90A Engine Type Certificate.
IL-96-400T Compared to PS-90A engine, PS-90A1 features higher T/O thrust (up to 17 400 kgf), low emission combustor and second-generation sound attenuation structures. The engine is designed for transport aircraft IL-96-400T and passenger aircraft IL-96-400M.
On December 24, the Supplement to Type Certificate No. 16-D/D27 was obtained; the Supplement confirms the compliance of PS-90A engine equipped with an updated combustor with ICAO 2008 emissions requirements. On April 16 Flyover Noise Type Certificate No. SSH170-Tu-204 for Tu-204 aircraft and the aircraft modified models equipped with PS-90A engines was obtained. The Certificate confirms that the aircraft meet the noise requirements of ICAO Stage 4, Annex 16.

Industrial Gas Turbines and Generating Sets
90s of the 20th century were marked by the development of a new business trend and in particular the development industrial aero-derivative gas turbines.
GTU-2,5PThe gas turbines long-term service has shown the high reliability and efficiency.
Based on the baseline gas turbines developed in 90s, the following steps meaningful for the power generation industry of Russia were made early in the 21st century:
- designing and adoption for production of a family of Ural-Series ease-transportable modular-type gas turbine gensets rated at 2.5; 4 and 6 MW;
- construction of the first in Russian municipal gas turbine-driven CHP plants "Shigili" (Bashkiria, year of 2000) and "Agidel" (Bashkiria, year of 2002) equipped with Perm 4MW "Ural-4000" gas turbine gensets, which meet the noise and harmful emissions requirements;
- launching into production of "Ural-6000" gas turbine genset, which is the first power plant of co-generation cycle in Ural-Series products line; the genset has the rated power of 6 MW and heat rate of 12.1 Gcal/hr (the year of 2004);
- development of GTU-12PG-2 gas turbine (year of 2004, a winner of "100 Top Products of Russia" Program), which burns petroleum gas, thus allowing producing electric power using million cubic meters of gas burnt in flares and significantly improving the environmental situation at oil fields;
- putting into service of the first six modular-type mobile gensets EGES "Ural-2500" (Tumentransgaz, year of 2005);
- "Iskra-Energetika" CJSC and "Aviadvigatel" OJSC became winners of the Tender for delivery of gas turbine machinery for generating sets and crude oil pumping sets for Sakhalin-2 Project (December, 2006); the well-known companies Siemens and Solar were the competitors to Perm companies therein;
