Tu-114 Project

airbob · 09-12-2006, 10:02 PM

Dear all,
I am researching the Tupelov 114 "Russia" airliner...the civilian version of the Tu-95 "Bear"...I am having a difficult time finding any plan views of this plane that are half way decent....I have a really old Maty kit from 1961, that needs a lot of work....I cannot even get a scale form this kit!!!

HELP!

does this help at all? a bit over half way down

This would be really nice..........

...ah, holy cr@p. I love youse and I love things like this but am no use. If you even attempt to build it, can you show us? Ple.., ple.., pleeze?

Oso de oro

Cgutzmer and Ashrunner,
Thanks for the design views....Cgutzmer....the black and white view will be useful in designing... This plane delievered Nikita Kruschev to the US for his famous shoe-pounding episode at the U.N......The Tu-114 was so "leggy" that they had to construct a special heightened ramp for him to exit

I love the look of these enormous forward sweeping tandem turboprops on this bird....I believe it still holds the speed record for distance for a propeller plane!!!

Bowdenja · 09-13-2006, 02:47 PM

And the record for the LOUDEST production prop plane.......... those tips exceded the speed of sound and created micro sonic booms.

Hi Airbob,

How much does the Tu-114 differ from the Tu-95? I would assume that they didn't change the airframe that much but added ammenities for civilian transportation. The reason for asking is that detailed drawings for the Bear are available but not for the 114. The next question is does a Tu-95 model exist?...,

Gil,
Looking over the data and pictures that i have ac

umulated for this project...the Tu-114 seems to have a much more streamlined nose with forward slanting main cockpit windows,...the nose on the 114 seems more rounded-sculptured versus the Tu-95 which has a more boxy squared off cockpit area....Trumpet makes a plastic model of the Yu-95 in 2 different versions...I purchased this MS version 2 years ago or so...and will use it for data.....I'm still trying to digest the material that I've gotten from all the online helpers....Thanks! Thanks ! Thanks!...maybe I'll complete this beast this year! OR NOT!!!

With bolt on additions, the Tu 126 was modified from Tu 114 airframes

http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/tu126rs.html

http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/tu126aiv.html

With a new fuselage they used the wings, engines (derated), undercart and much of the tail from the original Tu 95

and there was the later (new production) Tu 142

(File sizes and formats with this lot can be difficult)

Stev0 · 09-14-2006, 10:46 AM

Awww Maurice... now why did you have to go and do that!?

I have 4 front burner digital models to work on.

I have 1 back burner digital model going to paper design.

I have 1 front burner design to go to physical prototype.

I have 1 front burner paper model on the table in progress.

I have 3 paper models waiting in line to be built

And now you have gone and provided immaculate plans and schematics to this incredible aircraft thats just so strange I gotta try designing it.

also a website loaded with plans...

Maurice,
Thanks for sharing all those photos...mind boggeling!!!! really, such details!!!!!!!

Hell this will take till Christmas just to look at this stuff...Thank you!

Fishcarver · 09-14-2006, 02:04 PM

Bob: Are you going to do a "Bear" too?
Jim

Cybermac · 09-14-2006, 03:11 PM

Hi! I remember that there was Tu-114 in Polish Maly Modelarz...

airbob · 09-14-2006, 03:16 PM

Jim,
I did not plan on doing a "Bear"....however if this project EVER gets finished....the creation of a "Bear" from this beast is not a far leap

At this point I can only see the daunting task ahead!!!

Bowdenja · 09-14-2006, 03:22 PM

Bob........... anybody who can design the Boeing 707 in paper, should be able to handle a little ole Russian airliner!

Really this needs to be done, and would make a sweet addition to your airport diorama!
