The Kuznetsov NK-6 was a low-bypass afterburning turbofan engine, designed by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau .
11-650: Development of the NK-6 started in 1955 at the Kuznetsov Design Bureau . It was the first afterburning by-pass engine made in the Soviet Union . With a maximum thrust of 216 kN (49,000 lbf), it was the most powerful jet engine in the world in the early 1960s. Despite this fact, development of the NK-6 was halted in July 1963. The accumulated experience of the NK-6 project was subsequently used in
22-476: A hypergolic orbit stage. The NK-33s are first imported from Russia to the United States and then modified into Aerojet AJ26s, which involves removing some harnessing, adding U.S. electronics, qualifying it for U.S. propellants, and modifying the steering system. The Antares rocket was successfully launched from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on April 21, 2013. This marked the first successful launch of
33-643: A new design of rocket engine from the Kuznetzov Bureau for the Global Rocket 1 (GR-1) Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which was developed but never deployed. The result was the NK-9, one of the first staged-combustion cycle rocket engines . Kuznetsov developed the design into the NK-15 and NK-33 engines in the 1960s, and claimed them to be
44-582: 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 industrial gas turbines include: In 1959, Sergey Korolev ordered
55-585: The Junkers 0022 engine. The new engine eventually generated about 15,000 horsepower (11.2 megawatts ) and it was also used in the large Antonov An-22 Soviet Air Force transport. Kuznetsov also produced the Kuznetsov NK-8 turbofan engine in the 90 kN (20,000 lb f ) class that powered the Ilyushin Il-62 and Tupolev Tu-154 airliners . This engine was next upgraded to become
66-464: The NK-33 heritage engines built in early 1970s. Kuznetsov rocket engines include: NK-15 The NK-15 ( GRAU index 11D51 ) was a rocket engine designed and built in the late 1960s by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau . The NK designation was derived from the initials of chief designer Nikolay Kuznetsov . The NK-15 was among the most powerful LOX / kerosene rocket engines when it was built, with
77-801: The about 125 kN (28,000 lb f ) Kuznetsov NK-86 engine that powered the Ilyushin Il-86 aircraft. This Bureau also produced the Kuznetsov NK-144 afterburning turbofan engine. This engine powered the early models of the Tupolev Tu-144 SST . 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
88-591: The development of the NK-144 . A modified version of this engine, the NK-7, was intended for the Soviet Navy and had a takeoff thrust of 216 kN (49,000 lbf).

Кузнецова , also known as OKB-276 )
99-467: The highest-performance rocket engines ever built. The engines were to propel the N1 lunar rocket , which in the end was never successfully launched. As of 2011, the aging NK-33 remains the most efficient (in terms of thrust-to-mass ratio) LOX/Kerosene rocket engine ever created. The Orbital Sciences Antares light-to-medium-lift launcher has two modified NK-33 in its first stage, a solid second stage and
110-579: The verge of bankruptcy. In 2009 the Russian government decided to consolidate a number of engine-making companies in the Samara region under a new legal entity. This was named JSC Kuznetsov , after the design bureau. The Kuznetzov Bureau first became notable for producing the monstrous Kuznetsov NK-12 turboprop engine that powered the Tupolev Tu-95 bomber beginning in 1952 as a development of
121-536: Was a Russian design bureau for aircraft engines , administrated in Soviet times by Nikolai Dmitriyevich Kuznetsov . It was also known as (G)NPO Trud (or NPO Kuznetsov ) and Kuybyshev Engine Design Bureau ( KKBM ). NPO Trud was replaced in 1994 by a Joint Stock Company (JSC), Kuznetsov R & E C . By the early 2000s the lack of funding caused by the poor economic situation in Russia had brought Kuznetsov to
