Work is already underway: Putin knowingly announced the “passenger” Tu-160

132
Three years have passed since Vladimir Putin’s proposal to restore the production of Tu-160 strategic missile carriers. And so, the new supersonic bomber Tu-160M soars into the sky. Despite the external similarities with the base version, the internal filling of the aircraft has been updated to 90%.

In the process of reconstructing the White Swan, the entire production line was modernized, and a number of technologies were worked out. All this will be used in the implementation of promising projects. And not only for military purposes.

After a loud statement by the Russian president on the need to develop a “passenger version” of the Tu-160, information appeared in the media about work already being done in this direction.

Soviet design engineers have repeatedly managed to create civilian aircraft based on military aircraft. The first domestic jet passenger plane Tu-104, about which we told earlier, was built on the basis of the Tu-16 bomber, and when designing the long-range Tu-114, the strategic Tu-95 served as a base.

      Complete nonsense
      Addressing the head of state, the head of the United Aircraft Corporation, Yuri Slyusar, said that the enterprise, it turns out, already has a draft of a supersonic civilian airliner, similar to what the president wants to see. Slyusar emphasized that to create such a civilian aircraft to apply the developments and technologies used in the Tu-160 is quite realistic.

      This must be so "distorted"
      I understand the developments to use, and the zhurnalyugi already set up stools for passengers in the aisle of the Tu-160

        There is also a TU-144 project ... modify it ... redo it and it flies empty ... and redo the bomber ... it’s like stools in the aisle ...

          I think here first of all they thought about financial costs and reliability of the design, both factors are on the side of the TU-160.

            And how many raids does the TU-160 have? Are you sure that the design will continue to be considered reliable after the many-hour raid characteristic of passenger and freight traffic? They are now taking off several times a year, and then one crashed.

              Comparing the TU-160 and TU-144, the first one obviously has more flying.

                And does someone declare the TU-144 a reliable (and in a broader sense - successful) design? The point is that the “civilian” of the 160th has every chance to share the fate of the 144th.

                The military does not consider the cost of maintenance and generally the cost of transporting a passenger. The quality of engines here comes first. They destroyed TU -144. You can remake the bomber for the show-offs, but I doubt the economical passenger from it. The engine is not visible suitable for civil.

                  That's right - the most important thing in an airplane engine. A glider can be created or improved much faster. The idea is good, but does it make sense and how much will be in time? 10 -15 years? Or is it all 20? And how many lyamov you need to invest in it .. Maybe it is better to invest this money in education and housing and communal services?
                  Better bring to mind and increase funding programs MS 21 and IL -112

            Only one is design reliability. Do not forget that a civilian aircraft must be profitable. Not for nothing, the same Tupolev has the best passenger aircraft, not converted from T-104, Tu = 114 and Tu-124 bombers, but made purely passenger Tu-154

                  He calculated interest and costs? A bold statement, without even starting to calculate .. But, by sight, it’s more visible, the main thing is to seem like a major specialist .. Or maybe give time to scientists, specialists and operation economists, do a study of the voiced project, make calculations and conclusions, and then voice your opinion based on these calculations?

            As of January 1, 2008, a total of 37 accidents occurred with Tu-104 aircraft, that is, 18% of the number of airliners produced. This is the worst indicator among all Soviet serial passenger aircraft. In total, 104 people died in disasters associated with the Tu-1140. (Wikipedia)

              104 suffered from a hereditary disease called "clear sky turbulence" acquired from TU-16, after technical measures were taken, it was possible to significantly reduce the accident rate. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that the TU-104 is the world's first jet passenger plane! From the 56 to the 60, the aircraft industry launched 204 of these aircraft and only in the 79 "well, very Vick-crashing" liner was removed from the airline and only because it was replaced by the more advanced TU-154!
              What else do you want to get around the idea with the TU-160?

                "Foul"? You have not disproved the numbers. Every fifth "good aircraft" TU-104 crashed. But this is not a reason for you, as they say ...
                By the way, you are wrong - the first jet was the English "Comets", which in percentage terms crashed more than the TU-104 (if you count the first series). But only after the first catastrophes, the aircraft of these series were decommissioned. And our "carcasses" continued to fly and beat. Because for people like you with more than a thousand dead, dozens of lost planes are not a reason to take action. After all, a good plane! And all the arrivals - the machinations of enemies, which just to cheat.

                    Have you been banned in Google? There were "only" 37, 18% of all issued. As far as I understand, all flight accidents are considered to be the loss (decommissioning) of an aircraft, statistics on other types of aircraft are considered in the same way.
                    If you think the difference between 18% and every fifth is significant, then I’m ready to sprinkle ash on my head - I lied, then.

                    So could you provide links to more solid sources of information, according to which the TU-104 is the world's first passenger jet aircraft (serial, or some other)?

                    Of course, I would like Tu-104 to be the first serial jet airliner in the world. However, this is not so. In September 1951, the VOAS company accepted the first production Comet 1 aircraft, which were tested to obtain a certificate of airworthiness dated January 22, 1952. The second production aircraft departed on May 2, 1952 for the first commercial flight. on the route London - Johannesburg with intermediate landings in Rome, Beirut, Khartoum, Entebbe and Marambe. The WOAS crew covered a path of 10 km in 821 hours 23 minutes. Tu-34 was the first jet serial airliner in the USSR.

        I agree with you! Unfortunately, in our country, civilian aircraft construction, even of subsonic aircraft, is actually not conducted at the level that is proper for Russia.
        The SuperJet-100 is not an airplane for Russian airlines, the MS-21 is still only in the testing phase, there is not even its own engine for it, prepared for launch in the series - also in the testing phase.
        The Irkutsk plant with its production facilities, which are going to produce MS-21, designed for the production of small military aircraft, simply can not cope with the large order of the MS-21, without a corresponding reconstruction.
        And here is a supersonic passenger passenger aircraft based on the TU-160 for the aircraft industry ?!
        Are they even up there representing the complexity of building such a machine? Okay, finance, which Russia does not have in the long-term crisis, according to Prime Minister Medvedev, but billions of dollars are needed.
        But the design, scientific study of the design, people of engineering specialties who should design it, make a fundamentally new machine, and which aren't there? Most of the specialists were dispersed from the aviation industry, either retired old people or young people who did not completely master the matter remained. Who will solve such a big software problem?
        And yet, why such a supersonic passenger car? It will be economically disadvantageous !!! Supersound jet engines “eat” so much kerosene that plane tickets will be too heavy for passengers.
        And if you count only on VIP passengers who are ready to fly such a car for any money, is it not too great a pleasure for the not too rich budget of Russia to build such machines for a narrow circle of people - the so-called rich "elite"?

          And this is a common practice. The design bureau working on a military project and the factory implementing this project have a huge number of developments and technologies for implementing a civilian project.

            No, I do not agree with you. I wrote more about supersonic passenger aircraft, not even based on the TU-160. About its uselessness for mass air transportation. The reasons are described in a previous comment.
            Now about the lease, leasing of foreign aircraft, because there are none.
            In this situation, no construction of passenger aircraft lines at aircraft factories, the problem of civil aviation (GA) will solve. Why? Because in Russia a unified GA system has been destroyed, including a complex of its components, from pilot training, ordering and purchasing a GA fleet by a single customer, to the construction of the smallest airfields and airports with all their elements.
            In Russia, with its large expanses, and a small population of the population, a single air passenger and air transport campaign is needed - one, similar to the USSR Aeroflot.
            Why has the Russian civil aircraft industry collapsed? The main reason disappeared under the "reforms" of Yeltsin-Chubais, a single customer of civil aviation, accumulated all the financial resources of the civil aviation, and purchased them from civilian aircraft manufacturers. On the site of a single Aeroflot, hundreds, if not thousands, of small business entities of GA have been formed, including hundreds of small air carriers that have been eating through the main resources of the former single Aeroflot. This small fry didn’t have money for new planes, they didn’t have enough money for kerosene. They flew the flying resource of the planes they got and closed. There were dozens left, barely making ends meet, and renting / leasing in the West, mostly used ones, flying their planes. The whole era of mass civil aircraft manufacturing in Russia ended, as did the mass access to air travel at the regional level.
            About 1941, when a factory was opened “from scratch” and the aircraft production began.
            You probably don’t know, or you forgot that aircraft factories from the Western European part with all their equipment, aircraft stocks, with all the teams of specialists who had formed in the same place, with all their families and households, had been evacuated to these "empty places" .
            Now, where do you get the experts from? For 25 years of the downtime of the civilian aircraft industry, an era has passed when the old ones left or were on the approach to retirement, but the youth didn’t come - there was nowhere to come, production lay on its side. A specialist needs to be trained in aircraft construction for 10-15 years, you won’t take them from the street.
            What about the purchase of design bureaus and factories in Ukraine? And the situation is the same there, and if there are specialists left, they won’t go anywhere, since they still have 10 years of working age, a maximum of 15 years. Who will go?
            You are probably not an aviation specialist, and have little idea of ​​the problems of Russian civil aviation.

                The question is not about workers. The question of engineering and technical personnel, designers, technologists, designers, specialists in electronics, hydraulics, etc. They are the main in creating a new aircraft.

Where can you find so many people whose few hours of time (savings from supersonic) cost so much to justify the substantially (and inevitably) high cost of a ticket in this Concord 2.0 (or TU-1144)? I’m silent that the White Swan does not possess supersonic cruising speed, otherwise it would be considered a fifth-generation aircraft. Then you really need to develop a passenger (in the version of a business jet) version of the SU-57, even this will be easier than creating a supersonic aircraft from a subsonic (in cruising mode) TU-160.

              The designers are hardly dumbing us, but you are somehow overly broad, I would say, idealistically represent their tasks. They will be assigned a task, they will carry it out, mastering the allocated budget. And given the cycle of creating a modern aircraft, they are well aware that they are unlikely to have to present the finished product, unless in the newspaper they read about the first flight, being a deep pensioner. This is about the chief designers, and those who are now young are responsible for a specific narrow section, so they can always ask, "Are there any complaints with buttons?" So it turns out that now no one is specifically responsible for the development of the product - responsibility is spread out between generations of chief designers. And you are here about the concern of the designers about the ticket price ... Naive. Here the paradigm is different - they are giving money now, but there or the paddies will rest, or donkey.

        It was in the 90s - I visited Concord I must say right away - I was not impressed. The salon is very narrow and the armchair in it is for very slender people. To fly in such an inconvenience for the sake of saving several hours is still a pleasure. And for very good money. Although ... Then you can bend your fingers and tell everyone that you flew on Concord. There are always those who want to "show off."
        But this is originally a passenger plane, unlike our bomber. But statements about the creation of a passenger aircraft based on Tu-160 technologies are some kind of children's talk. How much this airplane eats fuel, even in cruising subsonic mode, is incomprehensible to the mind. The variable wing geometry is again no longer used on supersonic aircraft. Welding titanium parts? So now there are more interesting materials. And in the Tu-160 cockpit, two people in the aisle will not part, the fuselage is not much wider.
        Of course, you can do it. Only then will the unenviable fate of the Tu-144 wait for him. However, as monuments, they look so wow.

          Russian aviation expert Vadim Lukashevich sharply criticized the proposal of Vladimir Putin to create a civilian version of the Tu-160 bombers.

          “Having two higher aviation educations, a Ph.D. degree in technical sciences and experience working in the Sukhoi Design Bureau, I summarize: the civilian version of the Tu-160 while maintaining its appearance (structural-power scheme with a variable sweep wing) is the height of technical idiocy, the standard of illiteracy and the Everest of stupidity "Vladimir Vladimirovich, congratulations - this is a jackpot!" He wrote on his Facebook page.

          The expert noted that in addition to "worthless economic efficiency", the Tu-160 has a large number of technical characteristics that are not suitable for commercial use of the aircraft.

          "The Tu-160 is not a supersonic, but a dual-mode aircraft that can fly on supersonic only small sections of the route (for a short time, burning a lot of fuel on the afterburner), its main cruising mode is subsonic," Lukashevich said.

          According to him, the power structure of the Tu-160 aircraft is based on the most powerful center-beam beam at its center, which must withstand 3000-ton loads.

          “In principle, it is impossible to make a normal passenger cabin on the Tu-160, because the center section divides the internal space into two parts. Unless you place cargo and people in two large bomb-bombs isolated from each other before and after the center section. I’m silent about the resource and security,” He summed up.

          By this I mean, like all aviators, the minimum fuel consumption at supersonic speed. Do not confuse fifth-generation fighters, which some wise men call cruising, with the maximum speed of the jetski. Cruising in the classic concept of this term is also subsonic.
          And since no aircraft have such characteristics so far, the supersonic fuel consumption will be simply disastrous. The same Tu-160 can afford to enable this mode only for a very short time. But that's another story.

        Regarding the price of a ticket, for a mass poor citizen, Russia, with its large open spaces. These are turboprop aircraft, the ticket price will be less, although the speed is less. A turboprop airplane is an exit, for the Russian Federation in development, of a mass regional airplane, faster than a train, but cheaper than a jet airplane. It is better to start the revival of Aeroflot with them, and not with the TU-160.

Unless supersonic business jets, there will be a market for top management of the largest companies (and only if it will be possible to combine speed with reliability, comfort and at least the lowest possible operating costs), and then it is doubtful that it will beat off costs for the development, production, maintenance of the model - the series will be too limited. And it would be more logical to develop such business jets for several VIPs based on some F-22 and SU-57, rather than a giant missile carrier.

          Supersound fuel consumption will be 3-4 times higher.
          The operation of supersonic vessels is 5-6 times more expensive.
          The cost of transportation will be 5-6 times higher. The project will pay off for decades.
          Occupancy will be very low - there are very few in the country who can afford to travel with supersonic traffic.

            For the project to pay off, it must generate at least some profit. And here there will be only losses that will first be compensated by subsidies from the budget, and then, sooner or later, they will say “there is no money, but you hold on” and very interesting exhibits will appear in aviation museums that will stand next to the TU-144.

      Soviet design engineers have repeatedly managed to create civilian airliners based on military aircraft. The first domestic Tu-104 passenger jet aircraft, which we talked about earlier, was built on the basis of the Tu-16 bomber, and the strategic Tu-114 served as the base for the design of the long-range Tu-95

      yeah, that's just a supersonic plane has not been created. On the contrary, it was Tu-160 that Tupolev first tried to saw based on the civilian Tu-144.

Continuing the thought, it’s necessary to connect the money of the moneybags, since the Americans will help (take the money from Western accounts). That's what a civilian project is, because the next generation of planes needs to be designed and built, and production should be set up, and in case of conflict such planes will come in handy .
