Tu-204: nacido en el lugar y momento equivocado

Discover the Russian sister of the Boeing 757: the Tupolev Tu-204, which is actually a family of medium-range twin-engine jetliners developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the late 1980s. This aircraft has a capacity of up to 210 passengers and was first introduced in 1989. It was intended to be the equivalent of the Boeing 757 and had to have performance and fuel efficiency competitive for its class. It was developed for Aeroflot to replace the Tu-154, but the program did not go as planned. 0:00 Intro 1:20 A new concept in aviation 2:57 The Tu-154's replacements 6:58 The final design 8:05 The first flights and tests 8:56 Description of the Tu-204 11:08 Modifications of the Tu-204 13:18 Why did the Tu-204 fail? 3:50 PM Tu-204 vs Boeing 757 vs A321 4:33 PM The end of the Tu-204, or not? 5:19 PM Accidents and reliability 5:42 PM Operators This is the fourth video in the Tupolev Aircraft Marathon.
