Klimov VK-1A

12 aircraft on the U.S. register carry a Klimov VK-1A engine, rated at about 5950 horsepower. The Mikoyan Gurevich MIG 15 is the model most often fitted with it (7 aircraft). The aircraft carrying it were built between 1950 and 1956.

The FAA records engines by code, usually at the level of a series ("O-320 series") rather than the exact variant; this page gathers every FAA code that reads as Klimov VK-1A. FAA spelling: VK-1A.
