History and Usage of the Tupolev Tu-104A

The Tupolev Tu-104A is a passenger aircraft produced in the Soviet Union, which was a development of the earlier Tu-104 variant. The machine was based on the Tu-16 bomber, resulting in an extremely robust construction and advanced technical solutions for its time. The Tu-104 entered service in 1956 and was used by the largest airlines of the USSR – primarily Aeroflot – as well as by China and Czechoslovakia. The A version, distinguished by increased capacity and a modified passenger cabin, transported hundreds of thousands of passengers until the late 1970s.
