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.

Tupolev Tu-104 airliner,Czechoslovakian
£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enter regular service (with Aeroflot) and the first to provide a sustained and successful service (the Comet had been withdrawn following a series of crashes due to structural failure).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.

Boeing 747-8F CARGOLUX 1/144th scale
£22.99
£14.95
The maiden flight of the Boeing 747-8 took place on 20.3.2011. Its innovation, advanced technology and efficiency is impressive. The Boeing 747-8 is a newly developed aircraft. It is based on the positive features of the proven Boeing 747 series. Cargolux Airlines International based in Luxembourg, one of the leading dedicated air cargo carriers, was the launch customer and also first operator of the new 747-8F and also had a significant influence on its design. Cargolux was established in Luxembourg in 1970. It already operated the 747-200F and also the 747-400F. Together with the Boeing company it launched the 747-8F program in 2005 after ordering 14 aircraft. The 747-8F presents new standards in the fields of fuel efficiency and noise reduction. Its cargo capacity is 16% higher than that of its predecessor, its CO² emissions are 14% lower. The Cargolux 747-8F has achieved high profitability and its aircraft are in the air for nearly 16 hours a day. They have thus become a force to be reckoned with and powerful adversary in international logistics.

£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.
