VK-105 (M-105), V.Ya.Klimov

Derivative of the M-100 family; VK-105P "pushechnyj" was put in mass production on several factories by special Governmental order on May 23, 1940. It became a major liquid-cooled engine used by Soviet fighters during early stages of WW-II.

Supercharged variant VK-105PF (Pushechnyj Forsirovannyj, Cannon-ready boosted) entered production in May 1942. Despite new larger oil cooler, on the early stages of service new engine suffered from overheat and could not be operated for a long time on full power (not uncommon for fighter engines).
