The Kuznetsov NK-144 is an afterburning turbofan engine made by the Soviet Kuznetsov Design Bureau. Used on the early models of the Tupolev Tu-144 supersonic aircraft, it was very inefficient and was replaced with the Kolesov RD-36-51 turbojet engine.
Kuznetsov's most powerful aviation engine is the Kuznetsov NK-321 that propels the Tupolev Tu-160 bomber and was formerly used in the later models of the Tu-144 supersonic transport (an SST that is now obsolete and no longer flown). The NK-321 produced a maximum of about 245 kN (55,000 lb f) of thrust. Kuznetsov aircraft engines include:
The only engine available in time with the required thrust and suitable for testing and perfecting the aircraft was the afterburning Kuznetsov NK-144 turbofan with a cruise SFC of 1.58 kg/kgp hr. Development of an alternative engine to meet the SFC requirement, a non-afterburning turbojet, the Kolesov RD-36-51A, began in 1964. [5]

[4] [5] Several stockpiled NK-33 engines were refurbished and modified by Aerojet and used for the Orbital Sciences Antares. [6] In the 1960s he developed aircraft engines specifically for the world's first supersonic transport aircraft to fly Tupolev Tu-144, the Kuznetsov NK-144 turbofan.
Kuznetsov NK-144 The NK-8 was a low-bypass turbofan engine built by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau , in the 90 kN (20,000 lb f ) thrust class. It powered production models of the Ilyushin Il-62 and the Tupolev Tu-154 A and B models.
