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:
Kuznetsov NK-92 turbofan (modified to NK-93 further on). 220 to < 350 kN; Kuznetsov NK-93 propfan. Projected to power the Il-96, Tu-204, and Tu-330. Kuznetsov NK-114 Ekranoplanes and aircraft engines; Kuznetsov NK-116 Beriev Be-2500 Neptun engine; Kuznetsov NK-144 afterburning turbofan. Powered the early models of the Tupolev Tu-144 supersonic ...
