TUPOLEV Tu-104 First flown in 1955 (reportedly on June 17 of that year), the Soviet Union's first jet transport made its international debut in March 1956. Since then it has been built in considerable numbers—certainly some hun dreds—and it is Aeroflot's staple equipment for domestic and international express trunk-route services. The aircraft has been exported, in the Tu-104 A version, to Czechoslovakia's airline CSA, who operate four. Variants are as follows:—Tu-104: original "prestige" aircraft, seating 50; Tu-104 A: 70-seater; Tu-104B: version with longer fuselage seating up to 100 in five-abreast seats; Tu-104E: a develop ment with improved engine. Basic price: reported as 8 million roubles. Powerplant: Two Mikulin AM-3 turbojets of about 19,0001b thrust. Dimensions: Span (Tu-104A and B), 113ft 4in; length fTu-104A), 127ft 5in; length (Tu-104B), about 131ft. Weights: Max take-off, 160,000-165,0001b. Payload accommodation (Tu-104B): First cabin seats 30; second, 15; third, 55. Luggage and cargo compartments are 424 cu ft greater in capacity than those of Tu-104A. Performance: Normal cruising speed, about 435kt (500 m.p.h.); max speed, 550kt (633 m.p.h.); max range, over 2,500 miles. Tu-114 The world's largest transport air craft, the Tu-114 went into regular service with Aeroflot on April 24, 1961, on the Mos cow-Khabarovsk route. Some remarkable world records have been homologated by the FAI. Over a closed circuit of 1,000km and carrying a load of 25 metric tons a speed of 871.38km/hr (541 m.p.h.) was averaged; over 2,000km a load of 25 metric tons was carried at a speed of 857.277km/hr (532 m.p.h.). Powerplant: Four Kuznetsov NK-12MV turboprops of 14,795 e.h.p. each. Eight four- blade contra-rotating propellers of over 18ft diameter, with electric synchronizing and pneumatic emergency feathering. Dimensions: Span, 177ft 2in; length, 154ft lOin; height, 38ft 8 in; wing area, 3,014 sq ft; sweepback at £ chord, 35°. Weights: Max take-off, 413,9001b; max landing, 282,1901b; max zero fuel, 244,1001b; capacity payload, 44,1001b; weight less fuel and payload, 200,0001b. Payload accommodation: Cabin volume, 16,400 cu ft; baggage and freight hold volume, 2,500 cu ft; cabin width, 13ft 4in; cabin height, 8ft 6in; max seats, 220. Fuel capacity: 21,920 Imp gal. Performance: Typical cruising speed at 30,000ft and 300,0001b, 410kt; corres fuel consumption, 10,2001b/hr; take-off distance to 50ft, ISA, SL, max take-off weight, 9,350ft; landing distance from 50ft, max landing weight, SL, 8,690ft; range A (max payload), 4,900 n.m. Tu-114D This is a more direct conversion of the Tu-20 "Bear" bomber. Mr Tupolev has stated that this type is intended to trans port quite a small number of passengers with baggage, small and other urgent freight over very long distances. Tu-124 First flown in December 1959, this Viscount-sized short-haul jet transport has given Aeroflot, for the first time, the initiative in introducing a really significant class of equipment in which western airlines are show ing increasing interest. The Tu-124 first entered service on October 2, 1962, between Moscow and Tallinn. Flight International reference: August 16, 1962. Powerplant: Two Soloviev turbofans of 11,0001b thrust each.

VICKERS Vickers-Armstrongs (Aircraft) Ltd, Weybridge, Surrey, England. Member of the British Aircraft Corporation. Viking IB Designed as a replacement for the Douglas DC-3, the unpressurized VC1 Viking first flew on June 22,1945. Three main versions of this 21-27 passenger airliner were pro duced : the Viking 1 with wings and tailplane of fabric-covered geodetic, the Viking 1A with wings and tailplane of conventional metal construction and—the most numerous variant —the Viking IB, which featured a 28in longer forward fuselage. A total of 166 Vikings were built, BEA being the first operator. A total of 60 Vikings are owned by about 20 operators, mostly British independents. Asking price for a good Viking is now about £12,000. Powerplant: Two Bristol Siddeley Hercules 43- 17, ii U0LD 88 7/////////////;//^/////;//;;;;;;;//;;;;;;;/;;;;^
