	Tupolev Tu-16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tupolev Tu-16 (NATO codename: Badger) was a twin-engine jet bomber used by the Soviet Union.
		The Soviets' only long-range bomber at the time was the Tupolev Tu-4, a reverse-engineered version of the American B-29.
		The Tupolev design bureau began work on the Tu-88 ("Aircraft N") prototypes in 1950.

	Tupolev-Badger
		The Tupolev Tu-16 Badger was one of the first jet powered bombers.
		Based on the results of the "82" aircraft, in 1950 OKB Tupolev started developing the "492" heavy long-range bomber that had a better performance than the TU-4 and the Il-28.
		At the time the TR-5 engines were the most reliable of the three engines and as a result, Tupolev was charged with the development of an experimental long-range bomber (project "88") equipped with two TR-5 engines.

	TUPOLEV
		In the 1960s and 1970s, the Tupolev organization introduced a new generation of strategic bombers, among them the Tu-22, the Tu-22M (both known by NATO as "Backfire"), and the Tu-160.
		Tupolev was born in 1888 and developed an early interest in aeronautics, building gliders by the time he reached his early twenties.
		Tupolev resisted the idea of copying since he believed that one of his own designs, the Samolet 64, would be a better option.

		The Mach 2 Tupolev Tu-160 was built only in tiny numbers, leaving the earlier Tupolev Tu-16 and Tupolev Tu-95 heavy bombers of 1950s vintage to soldier on into the 21st century.
		Similarly, the Soviet Union fielded the intermediate-range Tupolev Tu-22M in the 1970s, but the Mach 3 bomber project came to naught.
		Strategic bombers are primarily designed for long-range strike missions against strategic targets such as supply bases, bridges, factories, and shipyards in order to damage an enemy's war effort.

	Tupolev Tu-16 Badger
		The Tupolev Tu-16 Badger was originally developed as a medium bomber to complement the Myasishchev M-4 Bison and Tupolev Tu-95 Bear and the first prototype flew in 1952.
		On 25 May 68 Badger-F flew very low over the USN carrier USS Essex - after the last pass, the aircraft appeared to stall and crashed into the sea.
		Around 2000 Badgers were produced and only a few remain in service with Russia.

	The Ilyushin Il-28 "Beagle"
		The Il-28Ps did their job well, serving for a few years before Aeroflot acquired a fleet of jetliners, beginning with the Tupolev Tu-104 "Camel", derived from the Tupolev Tu-16 "Badger" bomber.
		The Tupolev OKB was working in parallel on their tactical bomber design, which would ultimately be known as the "Tu-14", and Andrei Tupolev was not at all happy with the competition, calling the Il-28 a "bastard child".
		Tupolev's jab at the Il-28 as a "bastard child" would end up having some foundation in fact.

	Chinese Defence Today :: Tu-154M Passenger Plane
		The PLAAF operated 16 Tupolev Tu-154M (NATO codename: Careless) jet passenger planes between the late 1980s and 2002 for both commercial flights and VIP transportation missions.
		The Tu-154 was developed in the 1960s as a replacement to the turbojet powered Tupolev Tu-104 and the IL-18 turboprops.
		A total of 16 planes were operated by the China United Airlines (CUA) before the company stopped its commercial operation in 2002.

	VVS - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
		Early victories by the I-16 fighter were squandered because of the limited use of that fighter.
		One of first big tests of the VVS came in 1936 with the Spanish Civil War, where the latest aircraft designs were put to the test by up-to-date German aircraft.
		German Bf-109s arriving later in the war secured air superiority for the Nationalist cause.

	Tu
		Bellow the Tu-144 sits MiG-21I/21-11 "Analog", which was the test bed for the wing of the Tupolev supersonic airliner.
		There were versions for 6 and 16 missiles (extra 10 missiles under the wings), but they were converted to 6-missiles Tu-95MS under «SAL-2 treatment».
		The Tu-2 was the USSR's second important twin-engined bomber, and brought Tupolev back into favour after a period of detention.

	Chinese Defence Today - H-6 Medium Bomber
		The Tu-16 Badger medium-range bomber was developed by Tupolev Design Bureau in the late 1940s as a counter to the British Vulcan and USAF B-47 Stratojet.
		The Hong-6 (H-6, or B-6 in its export form) is a Chinese copy of the Russian Tupolev Tu-16 (NATO codename: Badger) twin-engine, medium-range bomber.
		A small number of modified H-6s are also serving as aerial refuelling tanker, reconnaissance aircraft, and ELINT platform.

		The Tupolev "Backfire" bomber is Tu-22M, not Tu-26 (this error probably arose because the first prototype was designated Tu-126).
		* Tupolev Tu-128 ("Fiddler"): This was withdrawn from Russian service about 1992.
		The designation Tu-20 was used for the early "Bear" bombers ("Bear-A/B"), but was changed back to Tupolev's internal designation, Tu-95, from "Bear-C" onwards (some later versions were Tu-142).

	Taran Bio (96)
		In his long post-war career, he continued to fly bombers, advancing from the North American B-25 Mitchell, to the Tupolev Tu-95 Bull, to the Tupolev Tu-16 Badger and finally to the giant, swept-wing, turbo prop-powered Tupolev Tu-95 Bear.
		Taran quickly mastered the Tupolev SB-2, a light bomber, and flew combat operations over Finland during the Winter War of 1939-40.
		After his military retirement, Taran had a second career, with the Tupolev Bureau.

		According to practice of building new aircraft with high performance in the shortest dates laid by Andrey Tupolev, the greatest native aircraft designer, when designing a new aircraft novelties should be introduced basing on previous really successful projects.
		This prospective trend of aviation wherein Tupolev Design Bureau is absolute leader is especially actual for Russia having rich reserves of natural gas, especially in northern regions.
		Activities on TU-330 a/c are performed in view of building a baseline model with structural elements which allow conversion into aircraft of different purposes and use LNG as a fuel.

		Its streamlined shape—with wings swept back at a 35-degree angle and engines carried in pods hung on pylons under the wings—would lead to the development of not only future bombers but commercial jets as well.
		The B-52 harnessed eight powerful turbojet engines to a giant bomber that dwarfed its predecessors not only in size but also in range and payload.
