What is Tu 144 about?

The Tupolev Tu-144 used a low-bypass afterburning turbofan engine due to engineering constraints rather than design choice, as it needed to fly quickly without developing a new engine. The NK-144 engine was based on the existing NK-6 core, which was too small for a pure turbojet, necessitating the turbofan architecture for increased mass flow and efficiency. Ultimately, the design was a constrained solution that prioritized meeting thrust requirements under fixed thermodynamic limits rather than maximizing
