2012年9月30日 · The Tu-114 as the 'flagship' of the Aeroflot fleet make that airline, and the Soviet Union, look behind the times and not capable of producing 'current technology' aircraft. It is hard for folks under 60 to understand just how much the competition between the Soviet Bloc and NATO nations extended so deeply into decision making.

The Tu-114 was neither slow nor that old. in fact, it was the fastest turbo-prop airliner ever built, it's cruising speed being some 880 km/h which is in the same class as Boeing's early 707 (897 km/h). btw, both aircraft share the same wing sweep, and the turboprops made the soviet airliner much more economical ;-)

2009年7月20日 · As is pretty well known, the Tu-114 sits up pretty high due to those big props needing clearance. I've noticed quite a few books and articles mentioning how back in the 1960s airports often were caught unprepared for the height and even in East Germany when the Tu-114 showed up, they had to rig ladders from the airstairs to the cabin door.

Tu-114 (designed on basis of bomber Tu-95) itself rather rare plane - only 33 were built. But this one is known also due its political history - Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev used it for the flights to US (1959) and to China. - Photo taken at Monino in Russia on February 26, 2005.
