The Kolesov RD-36-51 was a supersonic turbojet engine used on the Tu-144D SST.[1]

The RD-36-51 produced a thrust of 18,100 kgf (per one) and consumed 25,700 kg fuel per hour (per four).[2] and gave the aircraft a maximum range of 6,500 km.

The engine was a replacement for the Kuznetsov NK-144 turbofan, and its use permitted significantly increased range particularly in supercruise.
