Tupolev Tu-204 Projects

[GTX]

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?

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

Thanks in advance.

Wow,what a beauty,thank you my dear Deino.

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.

 

[flateric]

Pylons here are made of BiC pens if my memory serves me well (wasn't in model shop for a while).

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.
