Rybinsk RD-36-35
Type turbojet lift engine
National origin USSR
Manufacturer Rybinsk Engine Design Bureau (RKBM)
Designer Pyotr A. Kolesov

The Rybinsk RD-36-35 was a small lift turbojet engine, designed for use on V/STOL aircraft at the Rybinsk Engine Design Bureau (RKBM), designed by Pyotr A. Kolesov. Very little is known of this engine, probably due to confusion with the similarly designated Kolesov RD-36 and Lotarev D-36, which have little or no relation to the lift-jet.[1]
