L (TSR) This report updates NPIC report
and discusses construction and
25X1
production activity observed at Leningrad Aircraft Engin
e
Plant
117 from (the
25X1
cutoff date of the previous report) through
the
information and imagery cutoff
25X1
date for this report).
2. (S/WN[NTEL) This report includes both the main plant area, which was previously re-
ported, and the previously unidentified north plant area. The increase of floorspace during this
period was 26,507 square meters, of which 23,111 square meters are in the previously unidentified
north plant area. The overall plant floorspace on was 96,951 square meters.
3. (S/WNINTEL) Leningrad Aircraft Engine Plant 117 is the location of S.P. Izotov special
design bureau (OKB) which is known to be associated mainly with the development of turboshaft
helicopter engines such as the TV2-117, TV3-117, and GTD-350.
4. (S) This report includes a location map, three annotated photographs, and a table of
mensural and chronological data.
5. (TSR) Leningrad Aircraft Engine Plant 117 (Figure 1) consists of the previously reported
main plant areal and the north plant area, which was recently identified and had not previously
been reported.
6. (TSR) The north plant area is approximately 500 meters northwest of the main plant area
(Figure 2) and consists of a laboratory/engineering building, an engineering/shop building, three shop
buildings, one shop/workshop building, one storage building, and one storage/support building (Figure
3). These eight buildings contain 23,111 square meters of floorspace. Six of the buildings, consisting of
22,772 square meters (98 percent) of the floorspace, are direct support buildings. The two remaining
buildings, consisting of 339 square meters (2 percent) of the floorspace, are general-purpose build-
ings.

aircraft engines, which are then assembled at the main plant area and tested in the engine testing
facility.z
Construction Chronology
8. (TSR) The earliest imagery available was 14 January 1943, at which time the plant area was
not yet built. The next available overhead imagery was acquired on At that time, an
25X1
engineering/shop building (item 32, Figure 3 and Table 1) and three shop buildings (items 31, 35
and 36) were observed complete.
9. (TSR) Between 1964 and 1969 no significant construction was completed. A storage build-
ing (item 33) and astorage/support building (item 34) were observed complete on
25X1
0 a shop/workshop building (item 29) was observed complete on imagery of

and the large laboratory/engineering building (item 30) was completed by
No
25X1
significant construction has been observed in this area since 1972. The inclusion of the north plant
area adds 23,111 square meters of floorspace to Plant 117.

10. (TSR) Construction in the main plant area has been moderate since the last report with no
significant activity observed between November 1971 and May 1977. A shop building consisting of
2,078 square meters (item 25 in the previous report)' had been razed by to allow
construction of the new administration engineering building (item 38, Figure 4 and table 1). By [
~
the cooling pond had been filled in, and construction had begun on the administra-
tion~engineering building (item 38). Also, a water filtration building (item 37) was completed
during this time, probably to replace the cooling pond. An administra i 'ng of 1,231 square
meters (item 27 in the previous report)' had been razed by to allow construc-
tion of a new shop building (item 40).

Also, the excavation for the new shop building (item 40) was complete and was deep.
The administration/engineering building (item 38) appeared to be externally complete, and the
new shop building (item 40) was in the midstage of construction on

Because of the nature of the work at the plant, and since
pro uction is mainly small scale and experimental, no significant sightings of aerospace-related
equipment were made during this reporting period.
Security
15. (TSR) The north plant area is secured by a fence/wall with apedestrian/vehicle gate on
the southwestern edge of the area adjacent to the laboratory/engineering building. At the north
end of the plant area, the security fence that surrounds the facility has been relocated to accommo-
date the new buildings under construction.
