From the information it follows that "new aircraft will be built in the version of the Tu-214PU-SBUS, equipped with a special on-board communication node SBUS-214".

The contract value amounted to 5,6 bln. Rub., The due date until the end of 2017.

The publication also notes that, to date, two such aircraft have already been “built to the order of the Office of the President of the Russian Federation (RA-64517 and RA-64520)”.

Here it is - an alternative to broken junk. Well, what are our companies not buying? Again a conspiracy and Masonic affairs!

You are wrong here, this modification must be urgently modernized. The development of this machine for 30 years

[Duke]

May 12 from the airport of the Kazan Aviation Production Association. S.P. Gorbunova took off on a first flight a new aircraft, commissioned by the Office of the President of Russia, - the Tu-214PU air control center (RA-64517). The machine is intended for flights around the country and during foreign visits of the top leaders of the state - the President and the Chairman of the Government of Russia - and is equipped for this with all the necessary means of comfort and a variety of communication and control equipment.
The first flight of the new aircraft was performed by a crew of test pilots A.I. Zhuravleva (crew commander) and D.Yu. Vyazankina (co-pilot), flight engineer E.B. Volkov, navigator E.A. Kudryavtsev and Leading Test Engineer V.N. Filimoshkina.
The current Tu-214PU has become the third aircraft manufactured in the last two years at KAPO by order of the Office of the President of Russia. Last year, two Tu-214СР repeater aircraft (RA-64515 and RA-64516) were officially handed over to the Special Flight Unit "Russia". Both flew from Kazan to the base of the SLO Rossiya at the Moscow Vnukovo Airport on June 1, 2009 (see “Takeoff” No. 6/2010, p. 12). In total, an order from the UDP available today for Kazan aircraft manufacturers provides for the release of six "special boards": two Tu-214SR, two Tu-214PU and two "aircraft communications nodes" Tu-214SUS. All of them are equipped with PS-90A engines developed and produced by the Perm Engine Building Complex and, due to the installation of additional fuel tanks under the cabin floor, have a non-stop flight range increased to 10 km.
Two Tu-214SRs already in operation in the Arctic Ocean have replaced obsolete repeater airplanes based on the IL-18D turboprop, which provided for flight “board No. 1”. The new Tu-214PU will be used for flights by state leaders along with the two existing IL-96-300PU and IL-96-300PU (M) aircraft. It is expected that the first Tu-214PU (RA-64517) will be transferred to the disposal of the SLO "Russia" this year, and the next it will join the second (RA-64520). In 2011–2016 KAPO should put into operation and two Tu-214SUS.

And what to modernize, do not tell? 30 years of airframe development, and what has changed over the years? The air has become different or something else has changed? The B-737 was developed earlier, but it flies, the dog ...

[Aleksandr72]

The air, of course, remained the same. Well, the maximum smog has become more, and even then over the cities! But the onboard avionics has radically changed, aircraft engines have become less noisy and gluttonous (which is especially important for long-haul passenger flights and airlines serving these flights). All over the world, Soviet / Russian-made aircraft have always been complained of about engine noise and low environmental friendliness, as a result of which it is difficult to obtain a certificate of airworthiness. And on top of that, the airports abroad are simply not ready (or do not want) to service Russian-made aircraft, it is easier for them to work with the usual Boeing and Airbus. Therefore, it is more profitable for Russian airlines to lease these Boeings and Airbuses than to buy domestic ones (cheaper operation means less voracious engines, no need to pay fines for noise and low environmental friendliness, etc.).

The B-737 was developed earlier, but it flies, the dog

So the Tu-154 flies around Russia on domestic routes, while in Kazakhstan, in some places, the Yak-40 and An-24 continue to fly on local routes.
I have the honor.

Quote: Alexander72

So the Tu-154 in Russia flies on domestic routes

I recall that the Tu-154 was assembled literally until recent years.
And by the way, the Polish government just flew them, until the board was "planted" in the Smolensk forest.
So the USSR’s sides will still plow the expanses of the fifth ocean.

Quote: Yuri from Volgograd

I recall that the Tu-154 was assembled literally until recent years.

The first flight on the Tu-154 was performed on October 3, 1968. During serial production from 1968 to 1998, 935 aircraft were produced. The release rate sometimes reached 5 cars per month. From 1998 to 2010, small-scale production of Tu-154M aircraft (modernized) was conducted at the Aviakor Samara plant.

[g1v2]

Fuel consumption, insurance, maintenance. If airlines buy them, then the prices for airline tickets and so on will increase. For me and other government agencies, the main thing is that this is Russian production, and not how much kerosene it eats. Therefore, companies do not want to take their planes. However, now they seem to be beginning to force. Superjets actively push. I don’t think so. that Aeroflot so wanted to transfer to superjets. However, Aeroflot is state-owned and there are orders for 50 jets plus an order for 50 ms21, which is not yet in the world. I think that ms21 will also be sold voluntarily - forcibly. And this is already short-haul and medium-haul flights. Well, there it comes to long-range aircraft. The IL 96 may be upgrading or a new aircraft will be developed. Who has heard that someone is developing a long-range aircraft with us? By the way, it seems to me that Transaero was finished off precisely because Russian planes did not want to take it. Of 104 aircraft, only 2 tu204 and 3 tu 214. And Aeroflot will take its market share. Something like this.

The Tu-214 passenger aircraft (the original name is Tu-204-200) is an improved version of the Tu-204-100 aircraft with an increased take-off mass and increased flight range. Tu-214 aircraft have been operated by several Russian airlines since 2001 on airlines with a length of more than 5000 km.

And we do not have engines similar in thrust, flight (reliability) and economy yet. And alteration to 2 engines is an alteration of the wing, landing gear, and then the center section. And this is a new plane. Of the analogs, only B 747 holds, but he leaves, loses with a 2-motor. A A-340 just did not go.

And alexeyvvo, probably with EMZ. And also involved in sharashka.
Fortunately, the current system of publishing information on the conclusion of defense contracts is actually transparent.

[Cook]

Yes, there will be nothing if ordered at such a pace. The whole world works according to the following scheme: a leasing company is organized, most often this structure belongs to a consortium of banks, sometimes it is affiliated with the manufacturer. The leasing company works with very large companies that can lease and load a large number of aircraft at once. As a rule, the lessor usually has several such large customers. Then the orders of these customers are consolidated, and the manufacturer receives a very large order (sometimes up to 200 pieces) for the production of aircraft. Naturally, with such a large order, the lessor receives significant discounts, sometimes up to 40% of the catalog price of the aircraft. The lessor, therefore, offers competitive leasing rates to airlines. The manufacturer naturally also does not remain unprofitable, since it is known that the larger the series, the lower the cost. Further, I will already have written it in some branch, a large company has been operating these new aircraft for 5 years, while the costs of maintaining airworthiness are minimal, and then rents them back to the lessor, and orders new ones from him. The lessor transfers these slightly poyuzannye aircraft to the airlines, the so-called second stage, then the third stage (as a rule these are already small companies) and so on until they knock out the entire resource. Becoming a customer of a lessor of the first or second stage is very difficult. In America, these are companies with a fleet size of 300-1000 aircraft. It is also important if the state acts as the guarantor of the airline, now I hope you understand why the AFL has the newest aircraft in the Russian Federation. Lessors naturally compete with each other, including by providing various preferences to airlines. If the aircraft model is new and not yet run-in, the discounts are naturally even more significant. This business is quite transparent, and the authorities or the Federal Air Transport Agency, for example, have nothing to do with it. All transactions are approved by the board of directors of the airline. So, scolding small charter airlines for the fact that their age fleet is not very correct, even if they have money, larger players push them away from new planes. Now compare what we have? Do we have such lessors able to order 200 aircraft and pay for them? Are there any such powers that can quickly produce a large number of competitive, in the broad sense of the word, aircraft? Establish normal software and release a sufficient number of spare parts. To do this, you need the will and a very significant amount of money. Let's not forget that Boeing, which the state helps by the way, is not only a civilian aircraft manufacturing division, but also Boeing helicopters, Boeing defense systems, Boeing space systems, as well as Boeing Finance. Airbus has almost the same thing. We need painstaking and very consistent work in this area. I’m afraid to frighten, but in my humble opinion, actions in the right direction can be seen on the examples of MC21 and PD14. But the creation of a modern aircraft and engine is only half the battle; then a lot will depend on the state and business. Unfortunately, Russian leasing companies such as Sberbank-leasing, VEB-leasing and VTB-leasing do not yet have sufficient experience and are still very far from understanding this type of business.

[Buffalo]

All would be nothing, but the trouble is: You did not start from that. - There is no big order and is not expected. The rest is all true, only meaningless.

Dear SSI already wrote that this aircraft was developed for a very long time, at the moment it is not a breakthrough, plus essentially piece production. Plus a little to the fence, due to lack of spare parts. The airline, for the most part who is the country of manufacture, is not particularly worried. The main thing is that the piece of iron would work without failures, fit into the business model of the enterprise and ensure acceptable flight safety. A large order will be, for new aircraft, only this is the result of joint work. The state needs to patronize this process, business to work hard, the aircraft builder to finally turn to face the operator. The manufacturer, especially at first, should live with the carrier's problems. And with us he is fighting for the honor of the company, even if he is wrong.
