Design and development
The development of the high-performance single-shaft engine began in 1948. The engine was used in different versions for the Tupolev Tu-16 and Tu-104, as well as the Myasishchev M-4. It had a single-stage low-pressure and an eight-stage high-pressure compressor, powered by a two-stage high-pressure turbine.
Variants

gollark: Just steal its CSS.
gollark: I'm a compatibilist, apiophiloform.
gollark: You do sort of have control ish. Your damage to the servers would have would have been caused by your mindstate and whatever inputs, and "you" "control" the first part.
gollark: No comment, but a deterministic future would not absolve you of blame, apiophilosophohazard.
gollark: Well, according to my messages from the future, in two years you damage the osmarks.tk server infrastructure.
