In Donetsk, there the pilots pulled the steering wheel to the ground.

To resume the Tu-154 is like resuming the release of the Volga GAZ-21 and GAZ-24. Constant repairs and fuel burn. Airbus-320 A-check - 750 flying hours, C-check - 7500 hours; Tu-154 form B - 150 hours of raid, form 1 - 600 hours. With such costs of time and resources, the aircraft is not needed by anyone.
A good car will turn out if the body of GAZ-24 is put on the chassis of Mercedes. Also with airplanes.

A 'Boeing' is not something that from a spin, just a dive is not displayed! Confirmation Kazan and Rostov! And nothing flies! And the plane is very good, especially for our runways! modernization should be understood to reduce the weight of the structure, to equip with modern avionics and two engines instead of 4. As for the tail-mounted engines, then there are advantages!

Unfortunately, the tail location of the engines greatly complicates any upgrades due to the operational limitations of this machine. Her classmate B737 is modernized and modernized. and the end is not visible, because its scheme (the engines under the planes) is classical. Yes, and why? MC21 is already on its way.

The key in this news, the word GRANT. Just the opportunity to saw ...

So you do not enter it initially in a corkscrew. Any civilian aircraft in the corkscrew will not be nice. Any spin on the big aircraft directly leads to serious accidents, including catastrophe. Just like on Airbus, protect from fools to put up with autopilots and interlock control, so that the plane immediately reduces the corners of the attacks, not leading to a loss of speed or dangerous roll, and all) it will fly a hundred more years. And if it's made from composites. All the most modern. The plane itself is good, and the aircraft is very beautiful.

A great airplane. Our country needs it.

Bryed !! Someone wants a candidate, that's the problem. Well, at the same time and money to learn

Delirium uttermost! This is possible only in the absence of any real possibilities for designing a new one for this class. Completely undersigned in their powerlessness. That IL-114 upgrade, then IL-76, it's time IL-14 and IL-18 recall. Maybe it's time for the UAC to change to Boeing or Airbus, then the planes will appear.

Well, finally, as they say * a good thought of the parish after *, because that 154 is like a Kalashnikov assault rifle

The aircraft, which is not withdrawn from the corkscrew, should not be allowed to carry passengers (the Tu-154 disaster in the vicinity of Uchkuduk, Donetsk). There is Tu-204,214, the whole series of Ilyushinshih planes, starting from IL-14 .... works - not an end

There is already a modernized TU-204SM, what prevents to put it into the series? The fact that the airlines are ready to support the domestic manufacturer is simply ridiculous. Aeroflot in batches buys new Boeing and Airbus. And this is with the Russian analogues of TU-204 and IL-96, not to mention the buried TU-334.

Mikhail my father flew this "unsafe" for 8 years without a single accident. Moreover, all representatives of Western aviation concerns recognize the Tu-154m as the best in its class. In terms of reliability, he has no equal at all! It is not for nothing that NATO nicknamed "Carcass" "Carefree")

Great, that's good news! This is one of the most beautiful and safe aircraft in history. Insurance Lloyd does not lie.

Hmm. The situation is not happy.
To invest in modernization by the order of the obsolete medium-haul machine, while there is a Tu-204SM ready for production and the newest MS-21 at the testing stage ...
Well, I do not believe that the person who issued this grant is a stupid person. Do not keep stupid people in aviation for a long time.
Or the authorities are waiting for another round of Western sanctions with the ban on the exploitation of foreign aircraft by Russian airlines (following the example of Dobrolet).
Or they are waiting for the next fall of the ruble, which will make leasing foreign cars completely unaffordable for the price.
And new machines Tu-204SM and MC-21 nashtampovat not have time. That's also secured by the modernization of the Tu-154.

TU 154 - an excellent aircraft with good speed, higher than that of Boeing and Airbus. I had to fly a passenger for many years on this plane. Its main problem is the replacement of aircraft engines with more economical ones, and avionics.
And leave the glider as before, replacing part of its parts with composite materials

It's better to put on the wing of the Tu-334. Tu-154 machine is beautiful, but obsolete

The idea is promising for twenty years already!
Modernization will be appropriate!
But only in Samara from the plant ... - no shops, no equipment, no specialists!
The most important thing is a grant!

Dear, who told you that he is not safe ??? A??? Do not write nonsense !!!

Only a woman could offer to "modernize" such a vile eroplan.

Everything has its own service life. You can also upgrade the Ford T.

Nevertheless, because of a pile of wheels, he all the same sat down ate in the taiga. the other would fall apart.

Where does this information come from? According to the statistics of the insurance group Lloyd (England), he was safer than Boeng 737.
It is unfounded to make such statements without words.
Tu 154 overtook its time in terms of speed characteristics, though it could be better if in due time Nikita Khrushchev did not intervene in the process ....

Is not it better to bring the Tu-204 to mind?

Hmm ... It is interesting of course, what kind of bird it will turn out

Why upgrade a plane with an ancient concept and with a bunch of flaws, aerodynamic ones including !? The plane, very strict in piloting, participated in a pile of catastrophes ... Want to make a normal airliner look at Boeing and Airbus or come up with a new concept.

And modernize the one-154m with the installation of PS-90, it was not fate, and you can reduce the weight of the aircraft, the rack of the main chassis to do for example with 4-wheels and not with 6, make lounges of light materials, and put winglets!

The Tu-154 aircraft in its flying qualities, mainly controllability, is unsafe in principle and represents yesterday's aviation. It can not be anything that is acceptable by current standards modernized.

the name of Garelma!) and not Galerma))

Leave 154 alone, died so dead. Lazy graduate student drank alcohol, not otherwise. I speak like flying on Tupolev's planes, and flying now on Boeing.
