Another Tupolev hydrogen/LNG fueled design, the Tu-206. The second photo shows the Tu-244 SST design, note that there are separate nacelles for each of the four engines. Both taken at ILA2006.

From May 1998 here are some details of the Tu-206 prior to being designated Tu-206K.

The Cryogenic Tupolev's:

After years of being referred to as the Tu-206, a Tu-206K version appeared.

The attached is from some Tupolev details of the Tu-206K together with the Tu-334K variant of the Tu-334 passenger airliner.

In the overall dimensions the Tu-206K details are on the left, Tu-334K on the right.

Luckily for some of us, the details are in both Russian and English!

Very nice! Funny that the same leaflet that calls the aircraft the "Tu-206K" presents a picture that carries the designation "Tu-204K" on the fuselage...

Re: The Tu-204K in Tu-206K's clothing:

I had the item for years and never noticed !

It's probably a legacy from some old Tupolev PR material - found the image below in an earlier Tupolev booklet where the design is designated the Tu-204K.
