Supersonic Passenger Aircraft Tupolev Tu-144D 1/144th scale
£16.99
£14.95
The Tupolev Tu-144 was the first Super Sonic Transport aircraft (SST) in the world. Competing against the "Concorde" for the launch of the first Supersonic Airliner, the Russians were a nose ahead: On 31 December 1968 the prototype Tupolev TU-144 flew for the first time. A total of 16 of these aircraft were built from 1969 until the termination of the program in 1984. The Tu-144 was a very interesting design with many practical solutions such as the front canard leading edge slats to improve slow flight characteristics, for what was at that period of time a very advanced supersonic transport aircraft. It was later to be shown however that the Tu-144 was not a fully developed design. Many changes had to be made before production began. In November 1977 the TU-144 commenced public service on the route between Moscow and Alma Ata. These flights were discontinued after a further accident and due to lack of profitability. The last regular flight of a Tupolev TU-144 was in 1978. The Tupolev experienced a short renaissance between 1995 and 1998 when a modified version was used as a test platform for a series of tests into supersonic flight.

£20.99
£16.95
The Tupolev Tu-104 (NATO reporting name: Camel) was a twin-engined medium-range narrow-body turbojet-powered Soviet airliner and the world's first successful jet airliner. Although it was the sixth jet airliner to fly (following, in order, the British Vickers Type 618 Nene-Viking, de Havilland Comet, CanadianAvro Canada C102 Jetliner, US Boeing 367-80 and French Sud Caravelle), the Tu-104 was the second to enter regular service (with Aeroflot) and the first to provide a sustained and successful service (the Comet had been withdrawn following a series of crashes due to structural failure). The Tu-104 was the solejetliner operating in the world between 1956 and 1958.

£19.99
£14.95
The A350 XWB is one of the most successful commercial airliner designs in the aviation industry with a wide customer base around the world. With the A350 XWB, Airbus has introduced an entirely new family of wide-body medium capacity airliners. The A350 XWB features the quietest and most comfortable cabins in the Wide-Body category. The A350 XWB brings together the very latest achievements in the fields of aerodynamics and aircraft construction. This produces an optimized fuel efficiency 25% less than the Boeing 777 and a Seat -Mile Cost 25 % lower than those of its competitors. The exceptionally weight-efficient airframe is made from composite materials (53%) combined with titanium and advanced aluminium alloys. Modern Rolls- Royce Trent XWB engines and an aerodynamic design both contribute to a large reduction in atmospheric emissions. The A350 XWB Family comprises three passenger versions (A350-800, -900 und -1000) with 250 to 400 seats and including a long range capability of up to 15,580 km . The A350 -900 offers seating for 314 passengers.
