Although Tu-204-100 look likes Boeing 757-200, they have nothing in common, except appearance. When the Tupolev design bureau begun to develope a project of two engines liner to replace Tu-154, they made Tu-204. This scheme of aircraft, with two big PS-90A engines, placed under the wing, is more efficience, than with engines in the tail of fuselage. Aircraft has advanced airfoils and winglets since development study (first half of 80-s). Tu-204-100 has "fly-by-wire" flight control system with emergency mechanical control: 1) Three independent channel of main digital "fly-by-wire" flight control system (autopilot/autoland; pitch autotrim (by horisontal stabilizer); digital yaw/ roll/ pitch dampers; automatic limiting of bank/pitch/ yaw angle; automatic limiting of angle of attack; autoslats mode for leading edge; automatic limiting of overspeed and more e.t.c....); 2) Three independent channel of alternate analogue "fly-by-wire" flight control system (roll/pitch/yaw); 3) One independent emergency "fly-by-wire" flight control system (roll/pitch/yaw); 4) Emergency mechanical control system, which does not require computers or electrical power. Just pilot hands and hydraulic power. In that case, pilots have control of spoilers (roll mode), elevators and stabilizer (pitch) and rudder (yaw) by emergency control cables and hydraulic actuators. Tu-204 has two fully interchangeable independent channels of braking system with antiskid and autobrakes, and two independent channels of nose wheel steering system. Trailing edge (flaps control system) equipped with automatic correction mode to extend or retract flaps, according to speed changes. Aircraft has three independent hydraulic systems with engine driven pumps and alternate elecrical driven pumps in each hyd system. Emergency hyd power consist of ram air turbine, which automatically or manually (by button) extends to air in case of failure of both engines. Fuel and air condition systems have full automatic control. Fuel system has a ballast tank (tank # 3), placed in vertical stabilizer. This tank # 3 uses for balancing in the flight. In that case, fuel from wings tanks (tanks # 1 LH/RH) by fuel pumps transfers to ballast tank for displacement center of gravity more to tail. It allows increase lift to drag ratio by using stabilizer as a wing (positive lift). As a usual, Tu-204 has friendly cockpit interface (convenience installation of systems control panels), and, of course, "glass cockpit". Engines take-off trust - 2X16000 kgf. Max payload 21000 kg. Capacity : 175 passengers in three class, or 210 in full economy class. Range 4000...7500 km, depending of payload. Sorry for many words and for my english :). With best regards to All :).
Very good trip report. Interesting that they made a downwind departure. The plane appeared to be light and there seemed to be plenty of runway but you don't see that very often.
No cult of personality Mr. Fidel? He claimed there would be no portraits of him and what do we see at 5:00? Fidel Castro had a cult of his own in Cuba.

"First introduced in 1989, it is intended to be broadly equivalent to the Boeing 757 introduced in 1981, with slightly lower range and payload" it's a copy of the 757 as everyone has known for 20+ years, the Ruskies have been copying since the B-29, they just haven't had the high bypass engines and computerized technology, i.e.: the very crude Concordski. It's no sweat arguing the question, patents meant nothing to the USSR. Even the MIG fighters that were blowing USAF.props out of the air in the Korean conflict used copies of British aviation jet engines, that were sold to the USSR. Not one of the brightest moves by our friendly allies.

Would be a dream to fly their tu-204s and il-96s ❤️❤️❤️
Fly the il-96 while you still can. Apparently it rarely makes an appearance anymore.
97I30T
He can always ask Putin for a ride in his pimped out IL-96. lol
MrUnbelievableAbs il 96 flies to Argentina and think they are in the process of getting another 3 il 96s back in the air
Ours macked Perm(Ural)motors..Not bad))Im worcking thsis factory 12 yhears.PS-90A
Excelente video. Muy buen enfoque de imágenes
Thanks for watching
It’s like a time capsule. Would love to go to Cuba
Que hermoso avion
Beautiful plane😉👍
It's pleasant to the eye.
Ooohh,I loved it,the russian jetliner,the sky,the landscape...niiiiice!
A shame Aeroflot does not have this Aircraft in Fleet..Aibus and Boeing can fly everyone...
Nice video. Very good aircraft.
Jesus Christ! You flew right over San Antonio de Lo Baños air base! Great footage.
Not unusual on the long final turn back towards 06 threshold...Pretty cool though.
The aircraft is quite comfortable from a passenger’s point of view
Compared to delta airlines its like a five star hotel
how many passengers was aboard that flight?
Why do people always have to speak about rip-offs? Russia makes damn good aircraft! There is no nee for these ridiculous comparisons!
nice video thanks for share
Good video, thank you. How do they separate the international from the domestic passengers? Do you have to go through Customs as well? Thanks.
Awesom plane👍👍👍
New PD-14 engine from Perm Motors (Aviadvigatel JSC) comming up !
Russian tu204 a/c🇷🇺💺✈ Great video
Nice Video
good job
what is the name of the airport that you see every minute 14,36?
Looks brand new
how comfortable are the seats?
How long was the flight ?
Dess Pihl Farro 1 hr
Beautiful russian machines
+chrmantilla Prefer IL-2M3 Stormovicks, Lavockchin LA-7,s Petlyakovs PE-2,s or Yakolevs -3-9-7,s
11:04 check the seat :O
Cubana logo looks that of the Alitalia one
👍👍👍
10:47 really? they did not clean the toilets before takeoff
Note the shape of the winglet at 09:35! :D It looks like someone hit it repeatedly with a hammer to get the shape 'kind of right'. :D
Plamen omg Yh 😂😂😂 Russian build quality
that taxi was loud
So, is the chap with the gun ready to shoot at the aircraft or shoot anyone who might be wanting to shoot the aircraft…just wonderin’
Likely to shoot the birds around the runway.
No cult of personality Mr. Fidel? He claimed there would be no portraits of him and what do we see at 5:00? Fidel Castro had a cult of his own in Cuba.
I don’t get why cubana has so many soviet built jets
well they just love old timer and old jets
this is motor by Ił 62, hahaha new plane :D:D:D:D
I didn't Cubana had Boeing 757 aircraft........wait apologies. I didn't know Cubana had Tupolev 204 aircraft 🤔.
Cubana fleet is very weird this plane is a a321 body but with 757 wheels how weird but amazing
Que avión más viejo x dios🤤😲🤤🤤
The russian Airbus
A flight with no persons... A Ghost flight. Just cause people in Cuba can not pay a trip by plane... So poors.
Cubana is a religious airline . Only God knows if they will arrive
jajajajaj increíble que vuelven con 25 personas. quien paga ese viaje?!

4st!
está empresa precisa urgente de aviões novos
izmir Edson O que esperar de um país socialista?
Literally an A321...
If you judge a plane by its look you have no clue how planes work and what the differences are
They could be fitted with RB211-535 just like the 57
People on board? Tourists and party hacks. The average cuban cannot afford to fly.
The only thing for sure. Yo have to start praying 24 hours before the flight .besides you have to wear your life jacket at all times
that bird looks like it was made with a hammer and chisel.
Such a blatant copy of the 757 that it was even offered with RR RB211 engines
757---200 RUSSYAN vertion
The shitty version of an a321
Of course it's not a copy of a Boeing 757, the Soviets would never copy a Western aircraft, nah never.
... gee .. not too much of a rip off of the 757 though, right ?
I think IL-2 Stormoviks were safer and much more attractive.
Copia del A321 reverse engineering of an A321
757 clone.
No

Yes but they needed the money to repay the war debt to the US. Not that the US gave them any $ for radar or the jet engine.
