MiG-15 UTI Engine test

After 3 years of continous work,
Mr János Kulik and his team has finished
the complete overhaul of the
Mig-15 UTI/ SB Lim-2A warbird.
The first engine run took place
at Tököl airport in april 2010.
The VK-1 jet engine is in perfect condition.

[@G3rain1]

Lol, never realized just how much of a fighter jet is just engine.

[@HerrRussoTragik]

in fact, a jet is built over the engine, except the A-10, which was built over the machine gun =P

[@goldenmanuever1176]

Herr Russo Tragik lol

[@HerrRussoTragik]

panda44r indeed sir!

[@whoami2922]

[@rubenbueno3926]

Este motor , es un regalito de Inglaterra . El Rolls Royce Nene , de compresor centrífugo con dos etapas . Se llegó a la producción en serie de una copia para dotar a los Mig -15 . La URSS carecía , en esos tiempos de motores potentes y confiables .

[@petermay1219]

What a beautifully restored Ghost.

[@roncskutatas]

Yes! Its a Ghost! And it will remain a Ghost MiG-15 UTI ...

[@AbleToCum1]

Damn even 50s jet engine sounds amazing

[@Wikkus]

It lives! :) That's a very, very tidy powerplant. Nice to see such a historic bird run again.

[@imallpissedoff]

I guess these geniuses have absolutely ruled out any possibility of a catastrophic engine failure. Especially on the...wait for it...TEST RUN ! You know, the kind of catastrophic engine failure that these early turbines were famous for---the kind where speeding, jagged, red hot, engine parts and massive balls of flame rip apart and incinerate everything in their path. Way to go team!

[@orbanbalazs86]

Gratula srácok! És azt hiszem minden lelkes érdeklődő nevében mondhatom, hogy köszi a rengeteg munkát amit belefeccöltetek!

[@roncskutatas]

MiG 15 flew with RD-45, MiG-15 Bis had VK-1. This MiG-15 UTI has a VK-1 engine.

[@ColonelKlank]

I had the rare and great privilege of standing near a Fresco while starting up. It had the same low-frequency rumble.

[@iciman100]

Probably one of the best piece of engineering ever built

[@earlyhemibill]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@injuhasz]

Igazán öröm ilyen öreg madarakat is látni működés közben! Az én személyes kedvencem a Mig-29 Fulcrum, köztük töltöttem a katonaidőmet, és még egy UTI hajtóművezés alkalmával ülhettem is benne! Csodálatos élmény volt és kár, hogy már kivonták a hadrendből.

[@themainproblem]

Nicely done! A beautiful restoration to say the least. Keep up the great efforts and thanks for sharing your video. It was very cool. Respect from Apache Junction, Arizona.

[@Kisbatti]

Őszintén gratulálok az eddigi eredményekhez, és további sok sikert kívánok a munkához! Biztos vagyok benne, hogy a Repnapon szép látványt fog nyújtani a madár :)

[@PHAER]

This video just made the Mig 15 more fantastic to me!!! Nice!!!!!!!! And what a sound this engine has!!

[@NoDiPietroDay]

essentially "naked" it looks like a very small plane is not the first time that I find video of Hungarian fans who restore or keep alive old Soviet air machine For example, in recent time i am in love with the Kamov Ka-26 helicopter a fantastic toy and I've seen that in Hungary there are still some of they kept in perfect conditions

[@firemanquack]

Nem gondoltam volna,hogy elöbb látom a Lengyel Lim-et repülni Zeltweg-be Remélem Augusztusban a Debreceni légiparádén felszál a madár! Nagy munka volt srácok! Köszönet!

[@JohnBart86]

Gratulálok az elért eredményhez, remélem augusztusban már a saját szememmel is láthatom a végeredményt! ;)

[@roncskutatas]

That's true. They restore it with great care. And the result was better then a factory new MiG-15!

[@szczupyszczupak3587]

Pozdoowienia z Polski dla braci i przyjaciół Węgrów.

[@EugenioBissacott]

outstanding!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!

[@carlosasaraujo]

Cool !

[@FerasAbuTaha]

Oh...That...That's Nothing Dimitri, That's Just An Old MiG-21 In The Background...Wow...I'd Love To Play There!!!

[@patsematary]

@TheRantingCabbie for all references just check RR "Nene" or Klimov RD45 russian engine, this Lim 2A is a Polish licence built of twin seated trainer version of MiG-15. The bulky-chunky design & centrifugal compressor due to "english school" about jet rather "german school" with axial comperessor & sleek design. Moreover Nene was conceived rather as bomber than fighter engine.

[@kris8742]

You ever heard of the English school axial flow Metropolitan Vickers F2 which first ran in the late 1030`s be you afucking dumbo yank

[@مصطفىالسرحان-ح8ظ]

شكرا لكم على هذا الفلم الجميل .

[@ubbeli]

What a beautiful engine, it looks like it is brand new! Congratulations on a job well done on the engine, and a nicely shot video too!

[@nickhayley]

My left ear loved this video.

[@Beliay76]

Наши миги везде и всегда работают

[@bandiras2]

Wikipedia org/wiki/BMW_003 Wikipedia org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Nene Wikipedia wiki/Klimov_VK-1 Mig-15 production started with the copy of RR Nene. MiG-17 fighter aircraft with a turbojet engine VK-1 was the first Mach 1 fighter. Later the VK-1 also used in Mig-15. VK1 was the redesigned variant of the RR Nene. Still centrifugal. The End.

[@scwarzewaffe85]

@driver64 yes its a masterpiece indeed iv seen one of these engines in the flesh.sadly most of my tech knowledge is on automotive engines so im still learning about turbo jets.thank you however for your knowledgeable comment,much appreciated

[@jpatt1000]

I also like the engine! It looks brand new. (The different shades and sheens of metals on the exhaust pipe are cool! Almost seems a shame to put the tail back on!)

[@TheRantingCabbie]

@DandAinTac Thanks for the reply. I actually saw what I believe was a Rolls Royce (I think that's who made it but it's been a while) in the Niagara Aerospace Museum. Big and bulky and only put out 4500 lb. of thrust. The compression manifold that fed the flame cans looked like cast metal. Thick and heavy looking.

[@borntorazehell777]

beautiful sound

[@sbentjies]

That's actually painful to listen to without it turned way down-the frequency. Wow.

[@TheRantingCabbie]

@roncskutatas Thank you. I did see an old jet engine in a museum once. I think it was a J-33. It had 14 flame canisters (4500 lb. thrust).

[@totogamerhun]

csodálatos gépezet! enagy rakéta szárnyakkal és egy pilótafülkével. nekem nagyon tetszik :D

[@WomanBeater03]

the whole plane is one big jet engine interesting

[@MrBen527]

Awesome vid! Thanks for posting. Is this particular engine augmented?

[@roncskutatas]

No. Its an average Klimov VK-1 without extension.

[@The44439]

mig15UTI use engine is VK-1? I think that the РД-45.

[@lunatic_3521]

im modeling a mig15 right now after 2 days im only done with the body part. Its so much fun :) making it for a game i want to create

[@НевеликабъдаВальсируемъ]

Советские инженеры потрудились на славу.Сколько лет прошло-до сих пор работает) МиГ-15 еще ничего,вот о МиГе 21 говорят как о летающем "калашникове"

[@douro20]

The sound reminds me of an Allison 501-KF marine turboprop spooling up.

[@GeorgeVeld]

Hey Stan The engine runs great now could you install the rest of the plane

[@59Putyin]

Ezt jó volt látni!!! Köszönjünk!! Sok erőt meg kitartást a projekthez!!!

[@driver64]

@scwarzewaffe85 Exactly 30 Derwent & 25 Nene-C. Attlee Labour Government was not afraid or hostile to Russia and RR was happy to meet a cash&carry customer for 1st generation turbojet in order to develop improved types-that RR also hope sell to Russia.Nene was rather a bomber engine,the genius of MiG Bureau was "tailoring" around this powerful but huge unit a compact & slender fuselage.It worked!Note also how practical is the splitted and bolted fuselage for easy maintenance.Masterpiece!

[@roncskutatas]

@TheRantingCabbie Yes thats right! The same sollution. A centrifuge compressor with a one stage turbine. The big tubes on the engine ar the burn chambers.

[@gavrillafilicia9452]

thats actually crazy

[@1996Pett]

iszonyat jó hangja van!!!

[@fyx195]

Good job, interresting video thank's.

[@my85svo1]

impressive. good job

[@jopetya]

@roncskutatas Köszöm a választ alig várom,hogya alevegőben láthassam a gépet.

Ehhez a csodálatos munkához csak gratulálni tudok!!! Minden tiszteletem, és elismerésem a csapatnak. 1971-ig itt a tököli reptéren faterom is ezeket a gépeket (Mig-15), és hajtóműveket szerelte :) Sok szépet mesélt nekem ezekről a madarakról... üdv: Misi

[@Helderhugo]

Fantastic!

[@roncskutatas]

@scwarzewaffe85 Yes! The russians recieve the whole documentation, and more than 30 engines including Rolls Royce Derwent and Nene. This engine is a VK-1 its an improved RD-45.

[@roncskutatas]

The Oscilloscope was for checking interference. Thanks!

[@HanibiSW]

Use the 2-9 keys to play the MiG-15 UTI Engine like a keyboard :D

[@TheRantingCabbie]

I can't tell exactly by looking at the video, but does that have a centrifuge compressor just like the old Whittle engine?

[@GSpotOperator]

British did a good job on that one.

[@ricardosoto5770]

An then sold them to the Russians.....

[@MrLuvOldies]

Good video. No Afterburner?

[@sbreheny]

MiG-15 never had an afterburner. The MiG-17 (which was essentially an upgraded MiG-15) had the same engine with an afterburner added.

[@fixerden]

Stunning! Nice job! Greetings from USSR )))

[@xres1329]

Could you save us some rebuildable MiG-25 too? This MiG-15 is not loud enuf!🤣✈🚀

[@KCOWMOO]

that a beautiful thing

[@Draxindustries1]

Russian development of the nene engine with many improvements, lovely restoration..

[@twotif68]

I'm no expert observer, but it appeared to me that the only thing holding the plane back from moving were the chocks. I suppose they had the brakes on as well. I'm curious as to what temp. readings that guy was getting also.

[@takacsi]

De jó ezt látni! ;) Gratula mindenkinek!

[@trainmodeller]

Gratulálok!

[@robertbeckembauer9032]

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@jpatt1000]

How difficult it must have been to have that running and know you can't go flying yet!

[@scwarzewaffe85]

@honeybunchickens is the klimov rd-45 based on the rolls-royce nene engine?

[@roncskutatas]

@trainmodeller Köszönjük a csapat nevében is!

[@0sheldm]

also what is with the split intake? does one feed the front of the compressor while the other feeds the back?

[@roncskutatas]

Yes you have right! But this is an edited film! I take pictures when the engine was off. And during the editing I put the engine sound under it! So its a kind of trick! :-) Thanks for watching!

[@Andriks32]

Приятные звуки для ушей). Глупый вопрос наверное: зачем в кабине нужен осциллограф и что по нему в данном тестировании можно определить?)

[@РОМАНКУЛИКОВ-м9у]

Включили бортовые системы он и заработал при и тестах он не при деле

[@1996Pett]

a vágás is jó lett

[@Pilot-Ali]

Love the jet whistle ;)

Gratulálok, nagyon szép munka! Nagyon szép madár! :)

[@jcr7657]

Greetings gentlemen from Venezuela. excellent video, I build scale models and I would like to ask you if there are images from the radar electronics section, located in the nose above the intake of this beautiful aircraft. Thanks beforehand for your attention. Jorge Calderón

[@10010110100102Error]

do they really sit on top of the engine in that plains? I always wondered, what's between the pilot and his engine ...

[@freeinbacau]

I would give everything just to work on something like that in romania... who started the progect and how ? you guys are so luckly ....

[@MBG2000]

It sound like the Soloviev engines on the Tupolev Tu-134

[@JBinthesticks]

Fantastic British design.👍

[@roncskutatas]

A felújitás gyakorlatilag befejeződött. Tavasszal megkezdődik a berepülés !

[@michaelbevan3285]

no ear defence of any description?

4:28 That's how I remember a MIG is sounding like :D

[@CxC2007]

I wonder how do they start the engine ?? does it have an electric starter, I dont think so ? And I don't see any start cart close to it..

[@NinoJoel]

It is electrically started on internal batterys. You can also "quick" Start them using external power

[@ThamMalaysia]

Am I right to say that a turbojet's thrust losses at altitude are lesser than that of a turbofan ? I'm trying to find out the estimated thrust of the Tumansky R-95, the nonafterburning variant of the Tumansky R-13, at say, 35,000 ft.

[@carlossoto9240]

If you follow the physics, then yes. It is easier for a turbojet (or low BPR) to retain net thrust as you go up in Mach number (takeoff is at low Mn and 35kft is at high Mn). And I say "the physics" because the same engine can be rated differently or the cycle could be re-matched for specific requirements like takeoff thrust, climb rate, acceleration to supersonic speed, etc.

[@ThamMalaysia]

+Carlos Soto Thanks for the reply.

[@0sheldm]

i was wondering how this engine started, i work on a heavy aircraft that uses bleed air, but that sounded like an electric start

[@Yuri-gg6nv]

It's not an engine, it's an Klimov VK1 Centrifugal Compressor turbojet engine. The Earlier MiG 15 Variants had the Klimov RB 45 wich was weaker than the VK1.

[@farandymizan6837]

They brought Nene, from Rolls-Royce and make a lot copy of them

[@jopetya]

Szép munka gratulálok.

[@trader891]

That thing's got good brakes.

[@JungleYT]

The wheels were chocked...

[@fluffycat087]

Nice to see, nice British jet engine.

[@fluffycat087]

Thank you, but one glance at that jet tells me that it is from the British line of development. You need to do some historical research. Before you call people stupid. Go do some reading troll.

[@fluffycat087]

Thanks, agreed. Did you read about the British sending the Soviets one of their just developed jet engines? .

[@douro20]

Based somewhat on the Rolls-Royce Nene but this is a larger engine with more combustors.

[@sebfont5849]

Anything that is british, can't be nice. Just take a look at your teeth.

[@Haruki_Aikawa]

Bruno Gray she's definitely British, looks/sounds like one of the Derwent mk's from Rolls Royce, absolutely beautiful machine

[@teebosaurusyou]

Did it fly? What was the temperature?

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

DandAinTac Do some research and you will find that GE in 1941/2 when working on Whittles original design realised the limitation of Centrifical jet engines and much research information was out about Axial flow jet engines. GE decided that the Axial flow was more efficient and one of their engines J35 was built nd it was axial flor. It powered the F84 which flew 2/45 and also the F89 which flew shortly there after. The F86 also received a version lf the J35, the F86 was later because it did benefit from German swept wing research. The USA was not sitting on their hands and did not need the German "secrets"..

[@Kastaghier1]

Why they're standing few steps from the turbine? Crazy ass people...

[@joelp77440]

I wonder if the used that sounds as the start up sounds of a X-Wing from Star Wars

[@tsande1424]

Where were the fuel tanks?

[@jonessenoj6753]

This is Gold ! An I get permission to use your footage ? As this is great 👌 with this Article 13 need to be very careful nowadays ✌

[@MrFixful]

Мега надёжный двигатель.

[@jopetya]

Valaki tudna felvilágositást adni hol tart most a felujitás?

[@highwaltage]

great video. thanks for the upload! can i have one of these epic engines? :D

[@rodstartube]

what would happen if a bolt goes off?

[@Defconfx]

Awesome plane! where can I get one? :D
