#

can compare it to the il76 in weight ish

#

same enginrd i think

#

engines

tardy quarry
#

for some reason tho the max speed is missing

#

maybe that's what aussie means by no stats

#

you could probably create a rough estimate of the max speed with calculations since there is enough data given

distant inlet
#

I found this guy saying its 820 KMH (442 knots) though he looks like a alternate history writer who just made shit up

#

442 knots sounds reasonable tho

kindred cape
#

Yeah

daring void
#

720 kmh seems absurd yeah

kindred cape
#

Meanwhile tu154 950km/h zzzzbrhsje

@maiden holly you ok with a probably not exact top speed but reasonable

#

Max speed is preferred, though if there isn't one listed we just use the next best thing

#

It's better to use an actual stat provided than make something up

kindred cape
tardy quarry
#

Not really a trust worthy source tho

#

But it's the the only stat missing so improvisation is needed

kindred cape
#

Eh well I believe the usual decision or Romanians

#

THE IMPROVISATION WAY

#

Go ahead whit improvizing

daring void
#

The thing is, that speed seems rather low for jet engine

pallid quest
#

yea thats turboprop speed

#

though to be fair the 156 uses fuckin cyrogenic fuel powered engines so

distant inlet
#

Isnt that the other Tu-156 tho

#

The one used as a testbed

distant inlet
lost fog
#

was there a non-AWACS version planned?

distant inlet
#

No

#

Not that I know of

#

This gets confused with a Tu-154 based alternative fuel testbed that also used the name Tu-156

pallid quest
#

that was the tu 155

#

actually i think it was both

#

its all fucked

fair trail
#

Both

#

Tu-156 uses a new engine

kindred cape
pallid quest
#

the 154

kindred cape
#

Ah the other type got it

distant inlet
#

soviet union make aircraft names that make sense challenge

ornate minnow
#

soviets on their way to make a single aircraft platform and then use it for literally everything

fair trail
#

Well

#

F-15

#

Air superiority and strike

#

And not like every other nation in the world doesn't do that

pallid quest

#

ik

#

tardy quarry
#

#

one of the soviet awacs is in

#

omega found the top speed and its 454 knots

#

which is pretty decent

daring void
#

Yeah, that is actually realistic instead of fucking turboprop speeds for a jet engine

pallid quest
#

lmao
