COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT TUPOLEV Tupolev Joint Stock Company, 17 Akademika Tupoleva, Moscow 111250, Russia; tel: +7 1095) 261 2436; fax: +7 (095) 261 0868. TU-134 Some 852 examples of the the Tu-134 twinjet had been built when production ceased in 1985. The first example of this 72-seater was first flown in July 1963 and the aircraft entered ser vice in 1967. The basic Tu-134 was superseded by the stretched Tu-134A, powered by two Soloviev D-30 turbofans, and the TU-134B, similar to the A, with improved engines and revised interior. Russian and Ukrainian engine manufactur ers are touting re-engineing programmes for the large number of the Tu-134s which remain in widespread service in the CIS. Ukrainian manufacturer Motor Sich is offering its D-36 turbofan, which powers the Antonov An-72 and Yakovlev Yak-42, to replace the Tu-134's Soloviev D-30. To get die programme off the ground, Motor Sich is seeking to tie up a deal with the Minsk Aircraft Repair Factory to undertake the re-engineing. The powerplant manufacturer has offered three D-36s to the factory free of charge if it supports the project. Tupolev says that significant tailplane modi fication, and a certification programme, would be needed if the programme were to proceed. Delivered 852 TU-154M The Tu-154M is the current production version of the 160/180-seat Tu-154 tri-jet, which was first flown in October 1968. Initial versions (the Tu-154, -154A and -154B-2) were equipped with Kuznetsov NK.-8 engines. The Tu-154M was announced in 1983, powered by Aviad- vigatel D-30KU turbofans and with increased' weights. The first Tu-154M was delivered to Aeroflot in late 1984, and around 400 have been built to date. All Tu-154s have the same fuse lage length, with accommodation for 168-180 passengers, depending on layout. A cargo con version, called the Tu-154S, with a large freight door on the forward fuselage, is also in service. Tupolev is now offering an upgrade and mod ernisation programme for the Tu-154. Rybinsk Motors, which makes the D-30KU engine, has developed a modification which it claims reduces fuel consumption by 4-5%. The com pany is also developing a low-emission combus- tor, and a Stage 3 hushkit for the engine. Although it acknowledges that the silencer equipment adds weight and reduces economics, Rybinsk says that the kit will enable the maxi mum take-off weight and flap-setting limita tions to be removed. Rybinsk Motors has linked up with General Electric and is also working with Snecma to offer a CFM56 re-engineing programme. Vladimir Ruschupkin, the engine manufactur er's senior representative in Russia, says: "The Tu-154 is there in reasonable numbers. Obviously, it would require some structural changes to the rear fuselage and tailplane to TUPOLEV McKiel Engines Dimensions Span (m) Length lm) Height (m) Wing area Inf) notes Landing Accomodation Max gear Track lm) Wheelbase lm) Turn radius Im) Tu-1546-2 Careless weights (kg) Typical pax Take-off Max pax Landing Cabin Zero width fuel Operating empty 3 x 103kN Kuznetsov NK 8-TU turbofan 37.55 47.9 11.4 202 11.5 18.92 36 Production ceased.
