Such a hero!
DAMN, YOU'RE RIGHT ! and if memory don't fail me the younger gentleman next to the window happens to be his son.
Himself. Him. Thank you.
Cameo is a soviet invention!
That's so cool
What an absolutely splendid-looking aircraft!
Back in the 70's, I owned a Tu-114. It was part of my REVELL plastic airplanes models. Even so, it was a jewel among my many other plane in my kid's collection, rivaled only by another star, Tu-144, the Russian Concorde. Both of them had movable parts, propellers, nose, wheels, REVELL was a stellar model maker.
I had the Revell DC 10 and it didn't have rounded off windows, they seemed to be square which didn't look as realistic as the airfix kits.
One of three most beautiful airliners ever built. With Constellation and Concorde.
And md 90
always liked the style and design of this huge prop liner. a great machine for the time and even now is still impressive!
That's the gold age of air travel
the tupolev 114 was the convertion of a flying fortress (tu-95) into a flying hotel (tu-114)!!! so reliable even the japanese airlines used and admired it!!! and once again the voice of the narrator is the always calm russian voice that explains in a simple way everything to the final detail!!!! marvelous!!! they rebuilt their beautiful country so fast and radically within only 14 years after the devestation of the world war 2. only russia (ussr back then) could achieve such a marvel!
Aeroflot and Japan Airlines jointly operated the TU-114 between Moscow and Tokyo starting on April 17, 1967 (the TU-114 actually had Japan Airlines titles on the front lower part of the fuselage besides the regular Aeroflot titles on the top). The TU-114s eventually gave way to IL-62s and then starting in March 1970 JAL used its own aircraft to fly the route.
I like the position of the navigator, in that pod with the glass nose cone. He can have a birds eye view of the clouds and earth below. This was a super long range aircraft and they have outfitted it with all the comforts for the comrades.
One of the most beautiful airliners ever built
Воистину, самолёт эпохи более развитой цивилизации под названием СССР! Какой полёт инженерной мысли! Просто фантастика! А как в то время заботились о комфорте и удобстве пассажиров! Мне просто плакать хочется от сегодняшнего времени...
I really wish flying could be like this again.
+John Texas Try flying with Ryanair, you understand me then.
@John Texas pretty sure he meant flying on russian airliners
Watching this video makes me feel how good to fly in those days !
They cut out the noise. The noise was porbably terrible. Napping on the flight? forget it!
@@TheNavalAviator Did you notice that there are no seats above the wings? It's because of the noise.
This machine (Л5611, first prototype) is preserved at the Russian AF museum in Monino. It is still equipped with compartments inside. Compartments were privilege of aircrafts used for international flights.
The take off of the prototype (around 2'00) was filmed at the Flight research institute's airfield in Zhukovsky. So you can see some silver strategic bombers in the background (around 2'20), including Tu-95 "Bear" - the father of Tu-114. Bearing in mind that airfield and those bombers were top secret in 1958, I wonder how that scene remained uncensored.
What else... Tu-114 is my favorite civil liner.
Reg.- CCCP-Л5611
Me too like Tupolev Tu-114
The TU 114 was made as the airline version of the TU95 Bear Bomber. there was only a few made and Nikita Kruchev flew in one to the U.N. meeting in New York where he made his infamous speech! 60 years later no prop plane has been faster!
+John Texas Thanks for your reply John! Thats right about Krushev had to use a ladder to exit his plane because of its long legged landing gears!
+John Texas Don't know where that experimental prototype engine program went, my guess its probably waiting for FAA certificate of airworthyness,which can take years! More will be revealed if its a success,
+John Texas The "unducted fan" as they called it went the same way as the Tu 114: Down the drain for its deafening noise!

Хрущев вам тогда пообещал показать Кузькину Мать и он вам ее показал да так, что все жидко покакали !!!
Love it, fastest turboprop ever I believe? Beautiful aircraft.
какой он высокий и огромный)прекрасный и эффектный самолет
Когда Хрущев на нем прилетел в штаты, там не смогли найти трап по высоте туполя, очень был для них высокий.
i am a Boeing fan, but cant deny it is a beautiful plane !!!
Soviet plane is beautiful😁 i think🤔
Made with stalinium
@معارج حسن Yeah it’s quite elegant and there’s just something charming about propellers compared to jet turbines.
@@myusername3689 - "...charming "? Shirley you jest?
i think boeing 747 born for to rival tupolev 114 in 1958 tupolev 114 fly with 259 passenger the most bigger passenger plane before boeing 747
the most bigger passenger plane compared with all plane in 1950s this is real queen of the sky number one before boeing 747 😜😜😜😜
The most powerfull turboprop ever made! awesome machine!
The cabin is so roomy! And that meal? Good old times...
Amenities that reflect a world of railroad and cruise ship travel comforts.
🐻🙋🇺🇸⚒️🇷🇺
Wow, there are some very nice seating arrangements on this plane!
What a good looking propeller plane! Kind of reminds me of a Lockheed Super Connie, an all time favorite. Love it!
Such a beautiful aircraft. I only ever saw one in my lifetime.
Awesome leg room and seat width (cry, Ryanair and Spirit passengers), and an actual kitchen instead of a galley (cry, Emirates and SQ passengers)! Not even the A380 has that. The "comrades" were well-treated on board - at least in a promotional film...
+Goytá F. Villela Jr. However, you will note that they never smiled.
+Goytá F. Villela Jr. Every large, long-range airliner between 1930s and 1960s had kitchen and bunk beds, e.g Short Empire flying boats. Tu-114 was the last of this line, built in the same concept of the failed Bristol Brabazon. (And even Tu-114 was also short-lived in the face of long-range jets, being replaced by faster and economical Il-62 and Tu-154.) See that passengers could also smoke. There was no cramped 'low cost carrier' back then. And yes, you're right, only top brasses and their connections who had the privilege of Tu-114 jet-like performance and comfort. Otherwise they flew in mediocre Ilyushin Il-18.
+landak136 Il-62 used 50% more fuel than the Tu-114, which only but decisive drawback was the horrible noise of its supersonic propellers. They produced constant sonic booms which resulted in a terrible noise-level of 112 decibel inside the cabin.
I looked it up at wikipedia and watched youtube on Tu-95 and Tu-114
Terrible noise huh...no wonder those tandem prop, Tu-95-alike engines seem familiar to me.
My favorite! Thanks for showing us. The Russian customer service kooks awesome. And the 114 was FAST. (noisy too I understand)

Just realizing when looking at this video: all these people survived Stalin and the Great Patriotic War, which this video was made barely a generation after. Love history.
For the folk in the east the 50s and 60s were important as it was in these decades the government finally began cashing the cheques written by Lenin.
And remember. For a turboprop aircraft it would fly as fast as the jets in the west, being the fastest production propeller aircraft in the world.
Beautiful airplane.
I was born too late and on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain to ever see one flying-- this is probably as close as I'll come. Beautiful machine, though.
you can see one in Monino museum in Moscow, and even ,if you'll be lucky, to enter into the cockpit
I think Japan Air flew them for years. Excellent safety record.
Congratulations Andrey Nikolaievich Tupolev
@@wholeNwon That's true in 1964-1969
Traveling as it meant to be with style and comfort.
Those were the happy days...
What a spectacular aircraft! Thanks for posting this.
Very interesing and informative video of the Aeroflot Tupolev TU-114 airplane !
now THAT'S a freakin' plane.
When Nikita Khrushchev had arrived in the US in September 1959 it was Tu-114 that brought him. Funniest thing was that Americans had no stairs big enough, because they didn't have such a large and also fast plane at that time. They were amazed and shocked that CCCP had such advanced machine :D
The Soviets didn't inform the Yanks of this aircraft's requirements. The US could have quickly converted an existing mobile stair truck to accommodated it. Khrushchev was forced to use a step ladder at the top of an available mobile stair truck. Not very dignified. As impressive as it was only Aeroflot bought them. Even their Warsaw pact allies didn't want them.
@@binaway I thought Japan Air flew them for many years.
It was a US embarrassment and that was the goal. Humorous. If I had been Eisenhower, I would have diminished the Soviet coup by asking Khrushchev to conduct him on an examination of the aircraft with press in tow. Lots of smiles and hand shaking would have disarmed Mr. K.
I like that part at 6:42 where the passengers are enjoying a nice nap. ... I was on the NJ shore once when a Tu-95 flew about 20+ miles off shore on its way to Cuba. With a Nice F-106 escort from Atlantic City. You could hear that drone of the engines on shore from so far away. The Tu-95 and Tu-114 had the same engines. There's no way a person could sleep with that racket. I'll bet the passengers suffered some pretty serious hearing loss with the acoustic energy radiated from those turboprops.
What's the threshold for damage from sustained exposure? 85? 90? The previous machine I used to fly had a noise warning plaque because it was over 90 at cruise power, I remember that much.
Love all the comments about how great it was in the old days. Listen, it's still great. Pay for first class which is about how much it used to cost until perhaps the late 70s. I remember a flight to Paris in 1983 long haul that cost me four months salary. Economy.
Wow what a beautiful plane!
Stevo Chang yes, one can admit the plane is pretty, almost like a Constellation.
Olden days are golden
The fastest turboprop airliner of them all
Not just the fastest turboprop airliner ever, but the fastest prop-driven plane, period.

The interior noise was colossal.
Those Contra rotating props are satisfying
6:00 The High life, Soviet Style. Looks pretty nice, even if it maybe wasn’t reality.
@معارج حسن Yes, but spent hours in a line waiting for bread. Money wasn't the problem - but there was nothing to buy, was the problem.
@@jakobole these was the problem of 80’s when the economy was crashing. Before that, in 60’s and 70’s there were enough food and weren’t any long lines
@@jakobole Those are the problems of the mid-late 80s, not for the majority of Soviet existence
Most amazing and noteworthy...only ONE fatal non -airborne (runway? accident in its history.
Carousel Red Pilot Error if I’m correct
New version with better audio, clean cropping and some improved colour.
TU-114 - AVIÃO TURBOÉLICE CONFORTÁVEL DE DESEMPENHO EXTREMAMENTE FANTÁSTICO... OBRA PRIMA DE SUPERDOTADOS!!!!!!!! ONDE TEM SUPERDOTADOS...TEM PROGRESSO!!!!!!!
А что сейчас? Гавно не пройти не проехать . Боинги и Аэрбасы в котором нормальный человек с трудом помещается...Вот где мощь и комфорт!Живые самолеты были - ТУ-154 , Ан-24, Ил-86 . А теперь небо коптят пепелацы ,в которых летчика даже не назвать летчиком. Кнопкодавы и програмисты вместо летчиков. В боинге хоть штурвал есть , а в аэробусах и того нет. Откажет электрика и пиздос всем))))
Mad Rhino 404 это Дурькрайине
Neat to see!
My favorite plane! Thanks for sharing I’ll keep the video on my computer.
Great film. Thank you!
You are correctomundo it was based on the Bear Bomber or TU 95 n case it wasn't clear i was joking. As with most Soviet aircraft only a small number were built-32, replaced by jet powered IL-62. It was only in service 14 years.
The best airliner for drone ambient lovers (e.g. for me)
Apparently so noisy inside you needed a notepad to communicate.....but still a damn sight more comfortable than Spirit or JetBlue.......
Blyat! Westerrn spy at 4:00
true
😂

I am a citizen of the USSR.
Many are now writing nonsense here.
Any family and any person at that time could fly by plane.
And they did it often, even students. The prices were very low.
...
Какой же он огромный, грациозный, надежный и неприхотливый. Самолёт ТУ-114 один из показательных примеров что в СССР могли все делать для людей продумывая все до мелочей на высоком уровне и сколько бы еще конструкторское бюро могло выпустить новых современных самолетов если бы алкаш Ельцин вместе с неэффективным реформатором Чубайсом не развалили авиапром страны
Love this video!
awesome!
In real life it wouldn’t be as a smooth ride as seen here due to the massive vibrations and noise of those turboprops,but hell yea gonna still ride it if I’m born back then
Love soviet aviation history, but English subtitles would be fabulous 😀
The best plane ever made
it was the fastest propeller driven airliner
A buffet, sleeping compartments, restaurant... Oh, my!..
Крутые были лайнеры, жаль только, что пролетали они недолго: с 1958 по 1976 г.
Aaah,the krucshev finest plane.. ultimately he got grand entrance when landed on US
Fantastic video
The soviets appear to have reproduced what looks like a luxury train with wings on it. Obviously would be a commercial failure but would have been quite an experience.
You are wrong. This aircraft carried over six million passengers before ending its commercial service. It had an excelent safety record and luxurity rivaling that you could only see if you fly on an Emirates or Singapore A380.
D Martel, failure is in your ass, you're dumb freak..! stfu...
Clearly you can't appreciate good things from the east.
5: 51 Oh look, Gorbachev before he had that run-in with the paint bucket.
I wish the 777 and A359 where this luxurious
до сих пор ту- 95 на вооружении по чему прототипу сделали этот самолёт, выше всяких похвал.
5:40 A modern samovar could not be missing in a russian plane ;-))).
I bet you could land that thing in a farmers field in an emergency.
probably , with trees and all !!!!!!!!!!!!
because of how tall the landing gear is
@kenny- I was thinking the exact same thought!
Could we assume that the cockpit had little to no heat? Bet it could be converted back to bomber/cargo tran sport in short order. The USAF PAX/quasi military planes converted easy, for example the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC 8. Heck for along time, I thought I had got on a wrong plane if the seats faced forward. Most all military planes had jump(side mounted)seats, or backward/rearward facing seats. Anyway, GREAT vlog comrades, thanks for sharing!
Cool! 👍✈️
them russies can really make pretty damn good aircraft
Даа, таких сейчас не делают.... А жаль!
Love these aircraft. If you had the cash, you could fly the finest.
They don't make them like they used to. The inside of that looks better than the 747 I flew on.
Just imagine the sound of it
Вот такие самолеты летали когда то над городами)эх....что мешает сейчас такой же сделать,я бы и заплатил по больше)Зато курить можно в самолете),а значит и еще что-то в трубку можно было чутка заварить)
Very interesting
A negative dihedral. Another trait often found in Soviet-era aircraft.
対地速度870㎞/hの巡航性能はジェット旅客機と比べても全く遜色がなく
この当時の(昭和30年代)
のソビエト連邦の航空技術の高さがうかがえしれる❗二重反転ペラを装備する強力ターボブロップエンジンに美しい機体、一度乗って見たかった。
The music beginning at 4:30 reminds me of Thursday night dancing at the Elks Lodge.
The unstabilizing effect of the anhedral wings made for good aerobatics.....;-)
Ahh, the good old days of the Motherland, very much nostalgic.
it is a nice plane indeed !!
Nice video but at the takeoff they covered the propeller sound with a jet sound!
Stephen turbo prop engines are known for making a jet noise thats what they practically are
A really nice plane. Better than the new crap flying today.
I flew on this aircraft from moscow to paris, but the aircraft steps were not high enough at paris, finally they got fragile maintence steps to get us off. The food was awful and the sick bags were not sewn at the bottom. UN secratary general, U Thant was on board.
Ha ha ha, I bet they called those sick bags "Stalin's Revenge!"
You are one fortunate individual
This is what aircraft cabins should still look like but now everyone wants a tablet slapped in their faces to keep them happy
S T A T I O N W A G O N what kind of tablet? 714 or percocet?
The best aircraft! ever!
Wonder where the cutout models used in these vids are nowadays? It'd be cool to see em, even own one or more would be awesome....
Wasn't the Tu-114 based on the Tu-95 bomber? Cool aircraft!
ChevyBM yes
I like this plane!
7:40 excellent ventilation that eliminates cigarette smoke instantly?
Wow! Nice mockup! All that comfort would not fit inside that civilian version of the Bear bomber.
Different, much fatter fuselage.
At 2:36, notice the crew member down in the lower deck nose area with his own observation area. During the Cold War, airliners routinely overflew sites of military interest, snapping photos and gathering other forms of intelligence, no doubt. My understanding is that KAL flight 007 may have been shot down partly in suspicion that such activity was going on when it "accidentally" overflew some Soviet military sites on the Siberian coast. Supersonic propeller tips and fare-paying passengers are a poor mix. Still, this is quite an aerial platform, shared with the Tu-95 bomber. Smoke 'em if you got em - 7:40
What a hoot if the Sov's flew this into LA without a flight plan like they did in the 30's.
Back when cigars and cigarettes r smoked on flight lol
