The engine was designed by the Ivchenko-Progress Design Bureau and is manufactured by the Motor Sich factory in Zaporizhia, Ukraine. It was the first engine in the USSR that could deliver more than 20,000 kgf (~196 kN or ~44,000 lbf) of thrust.
Currently 188 D-18T engines are in operation with a total flight time of over 1 million hours.
