	Andrei Tupolev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of the military aircraft he designed, the Tupolev Tu-95 (an intercontinental bomber) is probably the most famous.
		Tupolev was arrested in 1937 together with another famous aircraft designer, Vladimir Petlyakov, charged with the creation of "Russian Fascist Party".
		Officially Tupolev was convicted in 1940 for 10 years, but released in 1944 "for carrying out important defense works".

		Of the military aircraft he designed, the Tupolev Tu-26 (an intercontinental bomber) is probably the most famous.
		In 1939 he was moved from a prison into near Moscow, where an NKVD sharashka for aircraft designers was established and where many of his colleagues from TsAGI have already been working.

		The Tupolev Tu-16 is armed with six 23 mm NR-23 cannons in a radar-directed manned tail-turret and remotely-aimed upper dorsal and rear ventral barbettes, and one 23 mm NR-23 cannon in the starboard side of the nose, and up to 9000 kg of disposable stores in a lower-fuselage weapons bay.
		The Tupolev Tu-20 carried a crew of ten and was armed with six 23 mm cannons positioned in two remote-control and one radar-controlled positions and could carry up to 25000 lbs of bombs.
		The Tupolev Tu-26 (Backfire) is a Soviet four-seater variable-geometry operational/strategic bomber derived from the Tu-22 in an effort to overcome the Tu-22's poor range and indifferent supersonic performance, the process being analogous to that which saw the evolution of the variable-geometry Sukhoi Su-17 series from the fixed-geometry Su-7.

	TUPOLEV
		The Tupolev company is probably the most famous aeronautics firm, or design bureau, as the Soviets referred to their aeronautics companies, in the former Soviet Union.
		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.

		Tupolev, the principal figure in the early development of Soviet aviation and a leading aircraft designer, was led away to immediate imprisonment.
		Tupolev and his design team were imprisoned, along with the Petlyakov and Myasischev design teams, in the buildings Tupolev had worked in prior to his arrest—later to become the Tupolev Design Bureau.
		Kerber recounts Tupolev’s central role in Soviet aviation before and after his imprisonment, beginning with his effort to establish the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI)—the Soviet Union’s leading aviation research and development center—his prescient advocacy of the transition from wood to metal aircraft construction, and his leadership in the advancement of Soviet bomber and transport aviation.

	Tu-16 BADGER (TUPOLEV) - Russian and Soviet Nuclear Forces
		Intended to replace the propeller-driven TU-4, the greatest challenge during development was to doubling the speed to improve survivability in the face of enemy fighters.
		OKB A.N. Tupolev started working on the design of a new jet bomber soon after development of the TU-4 was completed.
		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.

		The Tupolev Tu-144 (NATO reporting name: Charger) was a supersonic airliner constructed under management of the Soviet Tupolev design bureau headed by Alexei Tupolev (1925–2001).
		During the 1980s, the last two production aircraft to fly were used for airborne laboratory testing, including research into ozone depletion at high altitudes.
		In 1990, Tupolev approached NASA and offered a Tu-144 as a testbed for its High Speed Commercial Research program, intended to design a second-generation supersonic jetliner.

	Bashkirian Tupolev 154 Crash at Ueberlingen Germany Looks Like a Shoot Down
		Alas, this would only be partially possible if the two jets suffered a direct head-on collision, literally nose to nose, resulting in the fuselage sections of each aircraft being telescoped and compressed, with both falling to earth in a deadly eternal embrace as a single compact fused mass.
		If an attack plane had been sitting in the 757's radar shadow for perhaps 50 or more miles, the two-man British/Canadian Boeing crew would have turned their own proximity radar off, because the warning noise would have been driving them nuts, and because they would have believed the equipment was defective.
		This would then have left the Russian Tupolev [and the attack plane] with the only working proximity radars in the entire region at twenty minutes past midnight on 1 July.

	Tu-95 BEAR (TUPOLEV) - Russian and Soviet Nuclear Forces
		However, KB Tupolev did not support the development of a bomber with turbojet engines, believing that the proposed AM-3 jet engines would not provide for the required range of more than 10,000 km.
		The wings of the "95" were swept back at an angle of 35 degrees, allowing the placement of a large bomb bay behind of the torsion box of the wings' central unit at the aircraft's center of gravity.
		After consideration of Tupolev's proposals, on 11 July 1951 the government officially approved the development of the "95" aircraft: Two versions were built, one with eight TV-2F engines coupled through the reduction gearbox in four pusher-tractor tandem pairs, and a second version with four TV-12 engines.

		And after all that ending with the multiple self-recordings of the Tupolev Choir acapella, where obviously the band itself loses words to describe what is going on and falls into the theoretical trap of seeing the vocals as just another instrument from the opposite side.

		The Tu-160 was the outcome of a multi-mission bomber competition, which included a Tupolev proposal for an aircraft design using elements of the Tu-144, the Myasishchev M- 18, and the Sukhoi a design based on the T-4 aircraft.
		Consequently, Tupolev was assigned to develop an aircraft using elements of the Myasishchev M-18 bomber design.
		In 1981 OKB Tupolev built two prototypes of the bomber and one mock-up that was used for static tests.

	Tupolev Tu-22M3 NATO "Backfire C" by Phil Brandt (ESCI 1/72) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Andrei Tupolev's Backfire series of strike aircraft resulted from a clever ploy against the design bureau of his brilliant former student, Pavel Sukhoi.
		What Tupolev had really done, however, was to design a wholly new aircraft which decisively elbowed the T-4 program out of the picture with only two airframes completed.
		The Backfire--the M3, or "C", is the definitive variant--has soldiered on to be one of the most feared and respected Soviet air assets, and its capabilities have been the subject of many SALT negotiations.

		The design bureau of Andrie N. Tupolev was given responsibility for the airframe, while the engine bureau headed by Arkadii B. Shvetsov was assigned the responsibility of copying the Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone engine.
		According to Tupolev, there were three B-29s, one of which was made airworthy by cannibalizing the others.

		The Tupolev Tu-98 (NATO reporting name 'Backfin') was a prototype swept wing jet bomber developed for the Soviet Union.
		The West incorrectly believed that the aircraft (thought to be an Ilyushin or Yakovlev design) was in service, possibly designated Yak-42, but that was not correct.
		The basic design of the Tu-98 did, however, have a great influence on the subsequent Tu-102, which became the basis of the Tupolev Tu-28P 'Fiddler' interceptor.
