Mikulin M-17
The Mikulin M-17 was a Soviet-licensed copy of the German BMW VI V-12 liquid-cooled aircraft piston engine, further developed by Alexander Mikulin and used by Soviet aircraft during World War II. Production began in 1930 and continued through 1941. The M-17 was built at factories in Rybinsk and Moscow. The M-17 was produced in far greater numbers in the USSR than the original in Germany. Due to improvements and substitutions the M-17 was substantially different from the original German engine. The engine was used in the early versions of the Tupolev TB-3 heavy bomber. Nearly half of the TB-3's produced used the M-17. More than 27,000 were produced of which 19,000 were aircraft engines while the rest were used in Soviet tanks of the period.
