Every Soviet & Russian Passenger Jet Ever Built

Описание: Explore the fascinating evolution of Soviet and Russian passenger jets, from the pioneering Tu-104 that brought jet travel to the masses in 1956 to the cutting-edge MC-21-300 designed to rival modern Western narrowbodies. This journey through aviation history covers iconic regional workhorses like the Yak-40, the world’s first regional jet , and the trijet Tu-154, which served as the backbone of domestic flight for decades. Discover how engineering marvels like the Il-86 widebody introduced unique features like lower-deck baggage loading to accommodate specific infrastructure needs.

Modern Russian aerospace continues to push boundaries with the Sukhoi Superjet 100, the first post-Soviet regional jet to blend domestic engineering with international systems. While ambitious projects like the Tu-244 supersonic concept remained on the drawing board , the industry persists in modernizing its fleet with the Superjet New and the MC-21 family to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers. From the massive Il-96-400 long-haulers to the rugged An-148 designed for harsh climates, this guide details every major milestone and ambitious concept in the nation’s civil aviation history.
