Klimov GTD-350

The Klimov GTD-350 (initially Isotov GTD-350) is a Soviet gas-turbine turboshaft engine intended for helicopter use. Designed in the early 1960s by the Isotov Design Bureau the engine was later produced by Klimov and PZL, production ending in the late 1990s.[1]

gollark: I may be forced to investigate this technology.
gollark: I'm having trouble remembering where important tabs are.
gollark: Hmm. It is possible that having 800 tabs open is not an entirely optimal workflow.
gollark: Just do what that linux kernel livepatch thing does and strategically overwrite code in RAM.
gollark: You would have to contort the application horribly to allow this.
