- 22:3222:32, 3 September 2023 diff hist −279 Nikolai Kuznetsov (engineer) Removed the very outdated claim that the NK-33 engine "... to this day has the highest thrust to weight ratio of any liquid fuel rocket engine ever produced". The source that is cited provides no sources for its claim. Data cited by Wikipedia shows clearly that the SpaceX Merlin, RD-276 and probably the SpaceX Raptor engines all have higher thrust/weight ratios than the NK-33.
