    Tu-154 out of sequence

    Posted 28 Sep 2013

    Hi,

    When Soviets have build planes they named it in a sequence (e.g. Tu-154) and then did upgrades, adding letter in the alphabet (e.g. A, B ...) and usually last, bigger modification was named "M".
    How is it possible, that I was able to buy Tu-154M at the begginging of scenario (e.g. R2 - 1970-2010) and now, in the year 1974 there is no Tu-154M, but only Tu-154(ending soon) and Tu-154A(preorder)?
    This is out of sequence.

    Wikipedia says (http://sk.wikipedia..../Tupolev_Tu-154)

    Tu-154M
    engines: Solovjov D-30KU-154
    first take off: 1982
    production: 1984-2006 (limited production continued until jan.2009)
    ......

    not sure about the pictures, but when you look at http://en.wikipedia..../Tupolev_Tu-154

    picture you use for Tu-154 in your database is used here for Tu-155 (a test Tu-154 for alternative fuels)
    picture you use for Tu-154A is here "Polish LOT Tu-154M"

    I also propose to introduce Tu-154B with capacity around 180 passangers, with NK-8-2 engines, range - 2800km, speed 950km/h, prodiction 1977-1986.

    BR,
