Short-Haul passenger Aircraft Tu-134
Passenger jetliner Tu-134 turned to be one of the most successful projects in the passenger aircraft engineering. It left its mark in the history as the most widespread aircraft which performed the vast majority of passenger short-haul transportations.
The first serial Tu-134 powered by the D-30 engines flew into the sky in 1966. In September of 1967, the first flight with passengers on board was performed en-route Moscow-Adler. Since that time, the active use of this outstanding winged machine started.
With regard to the noise and vibration level in the passenger cabin, Tu-134 remained the most comfortable liner for many years. The airplane was constantly being improved. The following versions appeared: a version with the reduced number of the crew members (with no navigator), a version with new radar equipment, a variant with increased number of passengers, a version with improved economic parameters.
The basic model was followed by improved passenger modifications Tu-134A and Tu-134B, trainer aircraft Tu-134SH and Tu-134-UB-L for military air forces. Besides, flying laboratories were developed on the basis of Tu-134 for testing new prototypes of aviation and space equipment. The time between overhaul for engines of different series installed on the Tu-134 airplane and its modifications, is more than 6000 hours. There had been more than 850 aircraft manufactured until the serial production was completed in 1984, including 150 aircraft for exporting.
The bulk deliveries abroad required to make the aircraft compatible with the international requirements. For the first time in the history of the domestic aircraft development, the aircraft design and its performance characteristics passed international control. Tu-134 and its modifications got international certificates of airworthiness, including with regard to the environmental noise.

Awarding a Prize for the development of turbofan bypass engine D-30 to power aircraft Tu-134. In accordance with the Decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet dd June 22, 1966: “Chief Designer Pavel A. Solovyov is awarded with the title of the Hero of Socialist Labor for the distinguished service in completion of the 7-year plan, and presented with the Lenin Order and the Sickle and Hummer medal.” The same Decree awarded the workers of the experimental design bureau and Plant No. 19 with Orders and Medals.
