Lyulka AL-21

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lyulka AL-21 is an axial flow turbojet engine created by the Soviet company named for its chief designer Arkhip Mikhailovich Lyulka (1908-1984).

AL-21 entered service in the early 1960's. With later marks (AL-21F-3) it was used in the Sukhoi Su-17M 'Fitter', Sukhoi Su-24 'Fencer', early Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 'Flogger', and Sukhoi T-10 (Sukhoi Su-27 'Flanker' prototype). A non-afterburning version powered the Yakovlev Yak-38 'Forger' VTOL fighter.
