Samara Joint Stock Company of Opened Type is the biggest Russian enterprise of the aerospace engine building. The history of the enterprise began from the small Moscow plant "Gnom", founded in 1912, which produced the 60 h.p. motors of the same name.

             In 1923 Shvetsov, constructor of the plant, projected the first Soviet M-5 engine for U-2 aircraft, which was used for a long time on the home airplanes.
Since that time the history of the enterprise was admitted by the outstanding technical achievements. The world records of the 20 - 30th, among which where the flights Moscow-Peking (1925, motor M-17), Moscow North Pole - Vancuver (1937, motor AM-34), and Chkalov flights, were fulfilled on the Policarpov and Tupolev aircrafts, equipped with our engines.

Kuznetsov Scientific and Technical complex and it`s enterprise JSC " SKBM" limited.   

        Later on the modified variant of that engine, known as the series of NK-12MV, NK-12MA engines, were installed on the cargo aircraft " Antey", civil aircraft TU-114, and long-range strategic bomber
