A video of the Soviet Tu-154M aircraft has appeared online. The aircraft was raised into the air in Nizhnevartovsk.
The footage shows the plane accelerating along the runway before taking off.
The Tu-154M is a modification of the three-engine jet airliner Tu-154, equipped with D-30KU-154 engines, which improved altitude and fuel performance compared to previous versions.
Key characteristics include a maximum takeoff weight of 100-102 tons, a cruising speed of about 900-935 km/h, a flight range of up to 3800-5100 km (depending on load), and the ability to carry up to 180 passengers.
The aircraft had a three-pillar retractable landing gear, a single-keel T-tail and modern navigation and piloting systems, including an automatic landing approach system.
Earlier www1.ru reported that 14 SSJ-100 aircraft were found to have defects in the fuselage design.
