2016年1月4日 · Since the glazed nose was removed quite early in the production run of the Tu-134 (from the A-2 version on), it seems that the first reason (dual use of Tu-16-trained crews) is the most likely. While more than 1,500 Tu-16s were built, the Tu-104 (201 built from 1956 to 1960) and Tu-124 (164 built from 1960 to 1965) were relatively rare.

2021年1月22日 · According to Wikipedia, the UBL variant of the TU-134 was designed/used to train TU-160 crew, and is using its nose-cone. As to why, I think we can only assume. I think that a fair assumption would be that it contains the radar from the TU-160 (or a stripped-down version of it), and/or so the crew will have a similar visibility as they would on ...

2023年5月6日 · As you'd know, certain older transport aircraft in the 20th century, such as Convair 990 or Tu-134 featured very distinctive, large anti-shock bodies situated on the trailing edge of the main wing so that the cross-sectional area transition/distribution of the aircraft would be more subtle and thereby reducing wave drag on the high-subsonic ...

Early versions of the Tu-134 had a glass ('glazed') nose that is unusual for a passenger airliner. It was removed from the later versions. Source: wikimedia.org How probable is the hypothesis that ...

2015年8月8日 · Another difference is the Tu-204's much longer fairing for the wing-fuselage intersection. Also, the winglet shape is quite different between those three types. Tu-334. The Tu-334 is a shortened Tu-204 with fuselage-mounted engines. Only two have been built, so the chances to spot it are remote.

2017年11月13日 · $\begingroup$ The Tu-114 was low-wing, and the Tu-95 high-wing. That difference may be significant with regard to the noise perceived inside the plane. $\endgroup$ – xxavier

2022年6月5日 · $\begingroup$ Many related questions could be linked, including those referencing the "pendulum effect", which most of us understand isn't actually very analogous to the physics at play in a real pendulum, yet the vertical placement of the CG relative to various surfaces of the aircraft clearly does have some effect on roll stability, due to effects of surface area above/below CG in a sideslip ...

2015年1月3日 · $\begingroup$ I've flown on Tu-134 aircraft in the USSR that had some seats facing backwards and some forward, to save space. Each bulkhead had backward facing seats, facing the next seat row. Each bulkhead had backward facing seats, facing the next seat row.
