Aeroflot - Tupolev Tu-154M Wallpapers

Aeroflot - Russian Airlines, Tupolev Tu-154M: [br]The Tu-154 was developed fom the twin-engined Tupolev Tu-134 to replace the jet-powered Tupolev Tu-104, plus the Antonov An-10 and Ilyushin Il-18 turboprops. It is sometimes called the "Tu-134 with everything thrice." It is designed to operate from austere gravel airfields, to be able to fly at high altitudes above most Soviet Union air traffic, and for takeoff performance. Its construction is sturdy, with 14 big low-pressure tyres enabling it to land on snow-covered unpaved runways without sustaining serious damage. Initially it had three rear-mounted Kuznetsov NK-8-2 jet engines, arranged like the engines on the Boeing 727, giving it a relatively good thrust-to-weight ratio. It has triple bogie main undercarriage units which retract into wing pods, and a T-tail empennage. These features make Tu-154 a reliable and economical workhorse. Close to 1000 have been built with requests even today for resumption of production. Statistically, the Tu-154 has one of the poorest safety records. However, Tupolev 154's chequered safety record owes more to errors than technical problems. For individuals used to Boeing or Airbus airliners, the cabin of the Tu-154 can seem cramped. The impression is of an oval interior, with a lower ceiling than is common on western airliners. An Aeroflot Tu154 between Moscow and Ekaterinburg in 2005 was arranged with 3x3 seating, with even less legroom than the most tightly packed budget US airlines. In order to stand upright, it was necessary to fold down the next seat forward. The underseat space was dominated by a large round bar, making it impractical to place much of anything under the seat in front of you. The overhead bin was too small for much other than coats and purses. One should plan luggage carefully, bearing these facts in mind. [br]
