Tu-114 - the most Soviet airliner in the world

Video Description

Tupolev Tu-114 is a Soviet long-range turboprop airliner, developed by the Tupolev design bureau in the 1950s. At the time of its creation, it was the largest passenger aircraft in the world. Having lost this title to the Boeing 747, it is still considered the largest civil turboprop aircraft. During the design process, the Tu-114 was based on the Tu-95 strategic bomber. The passenger plane took the wing and engines from it, however, most of the other elements and systems were specially developed for it. Due to its impressive size and weight, the Tu-114 incorporated a significant number of advanced solutions in the field of passenger comfort, which made it one of the most luxurious Soviet aircraft. In total, 33 aircraft were manufactured, actively flying on domestic and international flights until the mid-1970s. Thank you for watching! Subscribe to the channel, comment, and like!
