The D-30KU  turbofan engine was developed in 1971 for installation on Tu-154M and Il-62M passenger aircraft. The D-30KU turbofan engine has been mass-produced since 1972. In total, more than 1.500 engines were produced.

The turbofan engine of the D-30KU is made according to a two-shaft scheme and consists of a three-stage low-pressure compressor, a 11-stage high-pressure compressor, a annular combustion chamber, a two-stage high-pressure turbine  and 4-stage low-pressure turbine, unregulated nozzle-exhaust mixer and thrust reverser buckets.
