I can’t take it any more, I have to say it.
What a truely horrible contraption. A mix between the A321 and B757

The only thing that I like about it is the optional RB 211 engines..

i wont say thats fair, as the needs was similar and so did they start the design in the 80’s and was to operanalise it before 90s but that never happened, and again i’d like to say its very unfair to say its copied

if thats the case I guess all the Airbus lovers would be dissapointed as they are a newe starter compares to Boeing and most aircraft looks similar

BTW when was the A321 and B575 came into service

abt the engine yes, the Russians would be better off concentrating on their engines for future need as there are many powerful engines in there too, but the Trent series is of totally different class

But they do have to makes these engines better and built upon that more powerful ones so as to compete

namely those powering the An-124 and An-225

Lotarev D-18T turbofans, 51,600 lb (230 kN) Thrust

Phew, that said. Wonderfull collection of photos!

tkf for that man

BTW is there any progress in my requests? :confused:

And for Boeing lovers, here is something that u guys should not miss –

Its the Soviet Monster An-124s which is the ones doing the airfreight for the Boeing for their B777 engines. These An-124 are the only means of airfreighting the General Electric GE90 General Electric GE90 used for the Boeing B-777

Also an eye candy for u guys …. the lift of the Heavy Weight American Chinook from Afghanistan by the Russian Super Heavy Weight Mi-26 …. these soft looks chaps have a lifting capacity of 20t, still remains unchallenged! 🙂

and some more … including the cargo’s interior

for the passenger these are the cabin dimension –

Length 30.18 m
Width 3.57 m
Height 2.16 m

where as the fuselahe dimension for Tu-204 is –
Fuselage section, m – 3,8 x 4,1
width – 3.8 m
height – 4.1 m

k some more pictures of the Tu-204 C

the Tu-204C has the highest payload capacity in the Tu-204 famil with 27t and the version thats based on Tu-214 is the one with this capablity

no….. was it not the one that Tupolev actually proposed as a replacement for the Il-38s and Tu-142??

hope the Tupolev get to air soon
