The Tu-214 medium-range aircraft, developed by the Kazan Aviation Plant (KAZ, part of the Tupolev PJSC of Rostec), attracted the attention of the United States due to its well-designed fuselage and wing. This was stated by Vladimir Buznitsky, former Deputy Director of KAZ.
According to him, despite the trend towards the transition to composite materials, the fuselage of the Tu-214 is still not outdated from the point of view of aerodynamics.
The wing was exceptionally well-blown. Friends from TsAGI told how the Americans asked them to transfer the theory of the wing profile.
Buznitsky also recalled the design flaws of the aircraft - problems with the auxiliary power unit, mechanization and the junction of the wing with the center section.
So, from the point of view of the aircraft, the restoration of the Tu-214 is real, but with the labor productivity that is now being incorporated into the plans, this will not work. Previously, every year we released plans for how many percent productivity could be increased - and they were fulfilled.
As a reminder, KAZ has not yetreceived a single contract for the supply of Tu-214.
