First introduced in 1989, it is considered to be broadly equivalent to the [[Boeing 757]]. It was developed for [[Aeroflot]] as a replacement for the medium range [[Tupolev Tu-154]] trijet. ==Design and development== Tu-204 was designed as a modern family of aircraft incorporating passenger, cargo, combi and quick-change variants. It is characterised by its low operational costs, low noise levels, and low fuel consumption. The Tupolev Tu-204 can be powered by either [[Aviadvigatel PS-90]] or [[Rolls-Royce RB211]] engines. It is produced at two of the largest Russian aircraft manufacturing plants in [[Ulianovsk]] (Tu-204 series) and [[Kazan]] (Tu-214). [[File:Cubana Tupolev Tu-204-100E.jpg|thumb|left| A [[Cubana]] Tu-204-100E, August 2007]] The Tu-204 cabin is available in several layouts, including the baseline single-class layout seating for 210 passengers and a two- or three-class layout designed for 164-193 passengers. A cargo version of the Tu-204 is being successfully operated by several airlines in Europe and [[Egypt]]. Both [[economy class]] and [[business class]] compartments are provided with passenger seats of improved design with 3+3 and 2+2 seating arrangements, respectively. The business class cabin has a seat pitch of 810&nbsp;mm. The passenger cabin can be divided into compartments according to class with removable bulkheads and curtains. Compartments are illuminated by reflected light. Hidden lights located over and under the overhead bins create uniform and comfortable illumination. Overhead bins for passenger baggage and coats are of the closed type. The volume of baggage per passenger is 0.052 m³. In 1994, the first certificate for Tu-204 aircraft (with PS-90A engines) was issued. Subsequently issued certificates have extended estimated operational conditions and improved overall aircraft type design. The Tu-204-120 variant, certified with Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 engines, complies with noise regulations described in Chapter 3 of Supplement 16 to [[ICAO]], hence meeting all current European and ICAO requirements. It is currently undergoing the certification process with [[Joint Aviation Authorities|JAA]]. Besides, the Tu-204-100 variant, certified with PS-90A engines, complies with noise regulations described in Chapter 4 of Supplement 16 to [[ICAO]] which means it's more quiet. The aircraft was certified to Russian standards AP-25 (harmonised with FAR-25 and JAR-25). ===Technology=== The Tu-204 is part of a new generation of Russian aircraft, including other recent developments such as the [[Ilyushin Il-96]]. The Tu-204 features many technological innovations such as: * [[Fly-by-wire]] * [[Glass cockpit]], available in both Russian and foreign variants * Advanced [[supercritical wing]]s equipped with [[Wingtip device|winglets]] * Advanced Russian or foreign avionics * First Russian-built aircraft to use non-Russian engines (Rolls-Royce RB211-535) ==Variants== [[File:Operators of Tupolev Tu-204.png|thumb|right|Countries with operations and orders for the Tu-204, as of October 2009]] ===Tu-204/204C=== The '''Tu-204''' is the basic passenger airline model, and the '''Tu-204C''' is the basic freight or cargo model. The mostly used models are the '''-100C''' and the '''-120C'''. ===Tu-204-100/200=== This is the initial version, powered by Soloviev (now Aviadvigatel) [[Aviadvigatel PS90|PS90]] turbofan with thrust of 157&nbsp;kN (35,300&nbsp;lbf). It uses Russian powerplants and avionics. It was certified in January, 1995. The '''Tu-204-200''' is a heavier version with extra fuel for more range. Only one has been built by [[Aviastar-SP]] in [[Ulyanovsk]] but not yet delivered (RA64036). Now this version is only produced by [[KAPO]] in Kazan and marketed under the designation '''Tu-214'''. The '''Tu-204-100C''' and '''Tu-204-200C''' are the cargo versions of the -100 and -200 respectively, fitted with forward main deck freight door. Currently the Tu-204-100/200 is offered with the option of uprated Aviadvigatel [[PS90-A2]] turbofan, which promises 40% longer period between overhauls. The Tu-204-100 has a maximum take-off weight of 107.5 tonnes and range with 196 passenger in 2-class configuration is 6,000&nbsp;km (3,300 nautical miles). ===Tu-204-120/220/120C/220C=== In order to broaden the product appeal, the '''Tu-204-120/220''' features non-Russian avionics and engines. It is powered by 2 [[RB211|Rolls-Royce RB211-535]] engines each with thrust of 192&nbsp;kN (43,100&nbsp;lbf). Cairo Aviation of Egypt became the launch operator when it took delivery of a Tu-204-120 and its cargo version the '''Tu-120C''', in November 1998. The Tu-204-220 and '''Tu-220C''', cargo version, is a higher gross weight variant of the basic Tu-204-120. The Tu-204-120 has a maximum take-off weight of 103 metric tons and range with 196 passenger in 2-class configuration is 4,600&nbsp;km (2,500 nautical miles). ===Tu-204-300=== [[File:Air Koryo Tu-204-300.JPG|thumb|[[Air Koryo]] Tu-204-300 at Pyongyang, DPR Korea]] It is a shortened, longer range and more efficient derivative of the Tu-204. It is about 6 meters (20&nbsp;ft) shorter than the basic Tu-204. It is available in two versions; the longer ranged heavier version powered by Aviadvigatel PS90-A2 turbofan has a maximum take-off weight of 107.5 metric tons and range with 166 passengers increases to 9,300&nbsp;km (5,000 nautical miles) and the lighter shorter ranged version with a maximum take-off weight of 89 metric tons and range with 166 passengers is 3,500&nbsp;km (1,900 nautical miles). Russian airline [[Vladivostok Air]] is the launch customer. This airline's aircraft are in the two-class seating configuration with a capacity of 142 passengers. It is also operated by [[Air Koryo]] which currently operates one Tu-204-300 and has one additional aircraft on order with options to replace five Тu-154s and four Il-62Ms. The Тu-204s operate on the Pyongyang-Beijing, Bangkok, Singapore, Vladivostok and Shenyang lines. ===Tu-204-500=== This is a version of Tu-204-300 optimized for shorter routes, featuring smaller wings, increasing cruising speed to Mach 0.84, making it a competitor to Next Generation [[Boeing 737]]. It is [[ETOPS/LROPS|ETOPS]] rated and fitted with [[Honeywell 331-200ER]] [[Auxiliary Power Unit|APU]]. ===Tu-206=== [[File:Tupolev Tu-206.jpg|thumb|right|The planned experimental Tupolev Tu-206.]] This variant is a company-funded testbed for alternative fuels, flying on liquefied [[natural gas]] <ref>http://www.tupolev.ru/English/Show.asp?SectionID=82&Page=2</ref> ===Tu-214=== Tu-214 is also a variation of Tu-204. It is technically a Tu-204-200, one of the differences being that it is built by a different factory. Planes designated Tu-204 are produced in [[Ulyanovsk]] by [[Aviastar-SP]]; Tu-214 in [[Kazan]] by the [[Kazan Aircraft Production Association]] (KAPO) <ref name=OfficialSite>[http://www.tupolev.ru/English/Show.asp?SectionID=200 PSC «Tupolev» - MAKS 2005<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref Name=KAPO>[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/kapo.htm Kazan Aircraft Production Association (KAPO) n.a. Gorbunov - Russian Defense Industry<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. Both factories are independent from the [[Tupolev]] design bureau and have some control over the design of the variant they produce. The main difference is a full-size main door at the left side of the fuselage just before the wing. The Tu-204 has two main doors and 2 emergency doors; the Tu-214 has 3 doors and one emergency door. In 2010 a total of 10 Tupolev Tu-214 aircraft are in [[airline]] service with a dozen on order. Tu-214 users are: [[Rossiya]] (5), [[Transaero]] (3) and [[Airstars]] (2). [[Transaero]] has an additional 7 orders for the aircraft.<ref name="russianplanes.net">http://russianplanes.net/EN/REGISTR/Tupolev/Tu-204/214</ref> ===Tu-204SM=== The Tu-204SM is an enhanced version of the Tu-204-100. The aircraft will be powered with the [[Aviadvigatel]] PS-90A2 engine, certified in 2009 on RA-64048. The Upgrade comprises a two-crew flight deck, new avionics, new air conditioning system and a new flight control system. [[Atlant-Soyuz]] will be the launch customer of the aircraft instead of [[Iran Air Tours]], because of Pratt & Whitney association with Perm Engine Company to manufacture the engine.<ref>http://www.rbcdaily.ru/2010/04/15/industry/471843</ref> The first flight is planned for 2010, with deliveries starting from 2011. ==Operators== Total users (August 2010) <ref name="russianplanes.net"/><ref>http://www.ch-aviation.ch/aircraft.php</ref> {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !
