'''UEC-Klimov''' ({{Lang|ru|ОДК-Климов}}) is a Russian manufacturer of gas turbine engines, main gearboxes and accessory drive gearboxes for transport aircraft.
Originally established as ''Kirill Klimov Experimental Design Bureau'' in Saint-Petersburg under the direction of Vladimir Yakovlevich Klimov (Влади́мир Я́ковлевич Кли́мов) (1892–1962), Klimov designed engines for Soviet aircraft based on Renault aircraft engine designs.<ref>[http://klimov.ru/en/about/history/ History of UEC Klimov at klimov.ru] Accessed 10 January 2018</ref> It may have used the designation Aircraft Repair Factory (aviazavod, ARZ) 117 during the Soviet period.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}
==History== The Klimov OKB was formed in the early 1930s to produce and improve upon the liquid-cooled Hispano-Suiza 12Y V-12 piston engine for which the USSR had acquired a license. At that time Klimov also manufactured motorcycles.
In 1946 the British government allowed Rolls-Royce to sell a number of Nene and Derwent V turbojet engines to the Soviet Union. Klimov OKB was given the task of "metrifying" the British designs, without the knowledge or permission of the West, as the VK-1 and RD-500.
Klimov United Engine Company is now located in Saint Petersburg.
It used the nationalised buildings originally erected by 1914 in the city's present-day Vyborgsky District for the joint stock Russian Renault automotive works,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Завод АО "Русский Рено" Завод "Красный Октябрь" ОАО "Климов", Конструктивизм, Большой Сампсониевский пр., 69х|url=https://www.citywalls.ru/house21027.html|access-date=2020-07-11|website=www.citywalls.ru}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Производственное здание завода "Русский Рено" - машиностроительного завода им.
