Do you mean the height above the ground i.e. from the ground to the top of the fuselage ???
Or the height of the fuselage alone?? – which is the same as the width if it is circular.

Height of fuselage alone.
Douglas DC-8 and Boeing 707 are not circular. Boeing specifies that the height of fuselage is 413 cm for DC-8 and 427 cm for Boeing 707. How does Tu-114 compare?

How high may the fuselage be?

From the same book…
Fuselage.
Semi-monocoque stressed-skin structure with frames and stringers. The cross-section is basically circular, with a maximum diameter of 4.2m: at the rear extremity the cross-section changes to elliptical with the larger axis vertical.

Makes sense for width. This is about 45 cm wider than the early jets like Boeing 707 and Hawker-Siddeley Trident. Was the fuselage circular?

Fuselage diameter is 4.2m – 13ft 9&23/64inches

Does anyone know the width and height of Tu-114 fuselage?
Fuselage diameter is 4.2m – 13ft 9&23/64inches – according to Yefim Gordon’s ‘Tupolev Tu-114’ – Vol 31 in the Red Star series.
