A non-afterburning variant known as NK-32 Tier 2 for Tu-160 and NK-65 will be used in the upcoming Russian bomber, PAK DA. [ 1 ] NK-65 and a geared high-bypass turbofan variant PD-30 , with a thrust of 30,000 kilograms-force (290 kN; 66,000 lbf) has been proposed for use on new Russian wide-body airliners, as well as the upgraded Antonov An-124 ...
The Kuznetsov Design Bureau also produced the Kuznetsov NK-87 turbofan engine that was used on the Lun-class ekranoplan. (Only one such aircraft has ever been produced.) 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 ...

The Kuznetsov NK-25 is a turbofan aircraft engine made by the Soviet Kuznetsov Design Bureau and used in the Tupolev Tu-22M strategic bomber. One of the most powerful supersonic engines in service today, it is rated at 245 kN (55,000 lbf) thrust. The three shaft engine was designed in the years 1972–1974.
It proved to be a successful engine and was completed in 1955. The new turboprop engine, named Kuznetsov NK-12, displayed great performance and was developed up to 11,000 kW. It was used in the Antonov An-22 aircraft, A-90 Orlyonok Ekranoplane and the Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bomber among others. The later models produced around 15,000 kW.
The company traces its origins to the Fili plant of the Russo-Balt corporation, which was established as an automobile production plant in April 1916. [2] In November 1922, the Soviet Union signed a joint venture agreement with the German aircraft manufacturer Junkers, and the Fili facility was renamed State Aircraft Factory (GAZ) No. 7. [2]
The main engine was a Tumansky R-79V-300, while the lift jets were a pair of Rybinsk (RKBM) RD-41s, installed at an angle of 85° in the forwards fuselage behind the cockpit. [ 9 ] [ page needed ] Four prototypes were built; the first was a static-test article, the second a nonflying testbed, while the third and fourth prototypes would be used ...
