Legend of domestic aviation

11
The Tupolev Tu-154 is a three-engine mid-range passenger aircraft developed at the end of the 1960. The most massive Soviet civil airliner, which can be seen in the sky now. The legend of the Soviet aviation industry and one of the most beautiful liners in the world.

The end of the 60s of the last century was marked in the USSR by a sharp economic growth. The air transportation market was growing, and the rapid development of technology in the field aviation made Soviet liners created just 5 years ago obsolete.

The Soviet Union needed a new, modern mid-range aircraft that can accommodate up to 180 passengers.

Already in 1968, the prototype Tu-154 made its first flight, and only a year later it was presented in France at the Le Bourget air show. In 1970, the mass production of the new liner began.

By the 2013 year, when the assembly of the aircraft was discontinued, the Tu-154 underwent several upgrades.

      For the first time flew 3.10.1968 In mass production entered the city and the 1970 1998 was produced until, with modernized several times. It has been some years in such demand that they are going to 5 aircraft units per month. Since 1998 city and up to 2013, the production moved to the plant "Aviacor" (Samara), but is much weaker. And in February 2013, after release from the conveyor 998-ch Tu-154, closed its production. This airliner rightly bears the title of the main jet passenger aircraft Russian medium-range routes.

        From 1998 until 2013, production was transferred to the Aviakor plant (Samara)

        Tu-154 was always assembled in Samara (Kuibyshev), the plant at different times and was called differently: N18, KuAZ, Aviakor

      Ilyushin’s projects were to create airliners for 144 and 110 passengers by redesigning the Il-62 from 4 engines to 3 engines and 2 engines, respectively, with a decrease in fuselage length.
      But the Tupolev Design Bureau, in the manner appropriate to it, trampled the competitor using both political pressure through communications at the top of the Central Committee and direct deception (by understating the promised total mass (70 promised more than 90 in real terms) of the plane against the indicated honest mass of the Ilyushin Design Bureau project) and dismissed order an airplane yourself.

      Modifications-A, B, B-1, B-2, M, engines and interior changed. The cabin, as in the B-1 remained. The car is gorgeous! NK-8-2U from the first, replaced by NK-12. Easier with fuel it became. A song was a car! Constantly flew to and from Moscow. Especially on side chairs. What to do ... Business trips! Sometimes there were opportunities to drink lemonade in the first salon. GA with the Air Force is always together.

        replaced by NK-12

      In general, an interesting movie turned out. This feature of the new generation of “leading” mentor-condescending manner of presentation of material, especially relating to “rarities,” is a little lacking.
