There was/is a maritime patrol version of the Tupolev Tu-204-200 - the Tu-204P. I believe it may even have included provision for a Cannon-pod. It was to replace the IL-38 amongst others. Not sure if it is still an active project or whether it died for lack of funds.

Regards,

Greg
 
Over the years, I've seen mention of a proposal for an ASW version of the Tu-204 to replace the Tu-142s & Il-38s, but I've yet to see any specifics or drawings. Anyone know any more?

Split to new topic.

Hi,

in Flightglobal of 1990,they displayed a tri-jet Tu-204 and eight-engined heavy lifter,I check all my sources,I didn't find any version of Tu-204 with three-engined nor a heavy lifter with eight-engined,I can't ID them.

This mockup draft design early Tu-204 (3-D-90) year period 1981-1982. (According to V. Rigmant)

Google shows only the Tu-214SR when looking for Tu-214R. Any pics or drawings available for this model?

Thanks in advance.

Certainly interesting - note that (going also by the pylons, not just the nacelles, which may be distorted by the wide angle camera lens) it appears to have RR engines! A proposal for India perhaps? It's also fitted with a refueling probe.
 
Pylons here are made of BiC pens if my memory serves me well (wasn't in model shop for a while).
 
From Kryl'ya Rodine 11-12/2013,


here is a Tupolev Tu-204 with some variants.

Actually, the Rolls Royce powered variant, which was also available with western avionics, was sold to Cairo Aviation in Egypt, which obtained 3 204-120s, and 2 204-120Cs. As usual, there was no interest in the aircraft outside of the Soviet sphere of influence. I can't seem to reach the Cairo Aviation webpage if it has one, though.

Hi max,


here is its page;

Much appreciated. But you see how much interest the West showed in this aircraft, despite prices that did undercut similar Western types, such as the 757 and the A321.
 
Model of Tupolev Tu-204P anti-submarine warfare concept.

Source:
http://militaryrussia.ru/blog/topic-764.html

Via Google Translate:

The project antisubmarine patrol aircraft. Development of the aircraft began Bureau named. Tupolev-based passenger plane Tu-204 at the decision of the Russian Defense Ministry in 1996 after the termination of the program of creating anti-aircraft A-40. Probably developed preliminary design or conceptual design of the aircraft. Development of the aircraft and the funding stopped, probably in 2000.

Construction - plane normal aerodynamic scheme - Tu-204 airframe. Inside the plane was supposed to accommodation compartments with equipment and weapons.

Engines (data on the Tu-204) - 2 x TVRD PS-90A - turbofan engine with a high bypass ratio, the mixing of the flow of air and gases, general jet nozzle and thrust reversers.
Link takeoff thrust (ISA, H = 0) - 16000 kg
Thrust maximum cruise thrust (ISA + 100 ° C, H = 11 km, M = 0.8) - 3400 kg
Bypass ratio at max. mode - 4.7
The compression ratio at max. mode - 31.1
Air consumption - 485 kg / s
Specific fuel consumption at cruising (N = 11 km, M = 0.8, ISA + 100C) - 0.595 kg / kg per hour
The length of the engine air intake - 5530 mm
Fan diameter - 1.90 m
Engine weight - 4800 kg

TTH aircraft (basic Tu-204):
Length - 46.14 m
Wingspan - 41.8 m
Height - 13.88 m
Fuselage diameter - 3.8 m

Maximum Take-off Weight - 103 000 kg
Mass planting the maximum - 88 000 kg
Payload weight - 21 000 kg

Flight range - 5200 km

Armament: probably supposed to equip the aircraft for a minimum set of weapons similar weapon systems of the aircraft IL-38 and Tu-142.

The structure of weapons allegedly included:
- Sonobuoys for anti-submarine search engine.
- Explosive discharged sound sources (VIZ s).
- Anti-submarine bombs.
- Aviation anti-submarine torpedoes.
- Anti-aircraft missiles.
- Sea mines.

Perhaps there were plans to equip the aircraft and missile weapons.

It is possible that the aircraft could be equipped with rescue container type CAS.

Equipment:
It is likely that an airplane planned to install anti-submarine poiskvovuyu system "Emerald-8" and its further development - "Sea Dragon" / "Novella". Development of the complex was carried out in 1990-2000 years of the Research Institute of Systems Engineering HC "Leninist" (St. Petersburg).

The complex equipment probably were:
- Radar system with long-range radar;
- Radiogidroakusticheskaya system;
- Magnetometric system with sensors on the wing of the aircraft;
- Radio system;
- Opto-thermal system with sensors on the sides of the forward fuselage;
- Board computer;
- Navigation equipment.

On samoet planned to install equipment for in-flight refueling.

Title: Russia - preliminary design, the plane was not built and flown.
