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 , 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.
