TU-204 AIRCRAFT FAMILY

Program on TU-204/214 a/c family

TU-204 is a mid-range aircraft for 210 passengers; was designed as the whole a/c family incorporating passenger, cargo, cargo-passenger and quick-change a/c. Complies completely with Russian and European Airworthiness standards, characterized by low operational cost, state-of – the - art interior, low noise level, low fuel consumption.

The aircraft is powered by PS-90A and RB211-535E4 engines. High aerodynamic efficiency of airframe combined with efficient wing extendible devices ensures efficient and safe cruising flight and landing at low speeds. Serial production is arranged at the largest Russian Aircraft Manufacturing Corporations in Ulianovsk and Kazan.

Passenger cabin

Layout of passenger cabin

Different passenger cabin layouts are proposed:
Baseline variant of 210 passengers layout;
Combined layout variant (including first class and tourist class compartment;
business-class and tourist class; first class, business class and tourist class) designed for 164-193 passengers as per customer request.
Tourist class and business class compartments are provided with passenger seats of improved design according to layout 3+3, 2+2. First class compartments are provided with comfortable seats according to layout 2+2 with seat pitch equal to 810 mm.
Passenger cabin can be divided into compartments according to class with removable bulkheads and curtains. Compartments are illuminated by reflected light. Hidden luminescence lights located over and under overhead bins along sides create uniform and comfortable illumination. Overhead bins for passenger baggage and coats are of closed type. Volume of baggage overhead bins per one passenger makes 0.052 m3.

Aircraft certification

In 1994 certificate for TU-204 a/c with PS-90A engines was issued. Each next certification is intended for extension of estimated operational conditions and improvement of a/c Type Design. That’s why in each certification only differences are certified.

TU-204-100 a/c – is TU-204 a/c version, was certified to Russian standards NLGS-3 and completely meets ICAO noise and emission requirements.

TU-204-300 with PS-90A engines is a mid-range passenger a/c is intended to carry passengers, luggage and cargo on domestic and international trunk routes of 500 to 8500 km long . The airliner was built on the basis of TU-204-100 a/c and represents the continuation of TU-204/214 a/c family. TU-204-300 a/c performed its maiden flight 18 August, 2003. The aircraft is produced in series at “:Aviastar-SP” Closed Stock Company in Ulianovsk. Opposite to TU-204-100 the TU-204-300 a/c has a shortened fuselage (by 6 m) and increased fuel reserve. Set of equipment was updated. Improved comfort level of the cabin helps the passengers to withstand long flights. Maximal payload is cut down to 18000 kg at increased flight range.

Baseline layout of passenger cabin – three-cabin configuration is offered in three versions:

157 passenger economy class seats version
155 passenger economy class seats version
two-class version for 142 passenger seats.

Mixed version of 142 passenger seats cabin provides 8 business-class sets (seat pitch is 1050 mm) and 134 passenger seats in economy class (seat pitch is 810 mm).

As per Customer desire the aircraft can be delivered with other layout of cabin to meet his requirements.

All seats of business class are equipped with information and entertainment systems providing watching of 4 video-channels. In the economy-class cabin video-monitors are installed at every three seat rows. Passengers will have opportunity not only to watch video-films, listen to music but also to get information on the a/c location, distance to the airport of destination and other data on the flight.

TU-204-300 passenger cabin design is characterized by possibility to convert the airliner from one version to other in short time in the airport.

The aircraft is provided with two pressurized cargo-luggage compartments. Volume of the forward cargo-luggage compartment is equal to 7.4 m3, of rear one – 20.4 m3.

The flight crew size is 3 persons. Further TU-204-300 two-member crew version is scheduled to be produced. 5 to 8 seats are provided for attendants.

Service range depending on payload at accepted fuel reserves is equal to following: at max payload of 18000 kg – 5600 km, at payload of 13500 kg – 7500 km. The values are given for maximal take-off weight of 105000 kg, flight level 10100 – 11600 m and M=0.76-0.78.
