For Sami, TU-204SM Data

[CarlBagot]

Apparently it is not in the game due to lack of payload/range data and the like, while that was probably true in the past now we have this: http://www.tupolev.ru/tu-204sm and this http://www.ifc-leasing.com/en/catalog/tu-204/ link which gives all the data according to Tupolev and IFC (Ilyushin Finance Co) including fuel consumption, range, speed, runway requirements and more.

Google translate of the first page : http://www.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tupolev.ru%2Ftu-204sm

especially this image is important:

and this one

The discrepancy in range is probably related to cruise speed, this one probably using 850 km/h and the above using 830 km/h, in AWS the TU-204 is at 453kts= 838.9 km/h which is in between the two and thus we could average out the two payload/range charts.

Cost per unit using Jan 21 2011 exchange rates, the article date, 1.13 billion roubles = 37 742 000 USD which is the bare frame + engines +outfitting, and 1.8 billion roubles (60 1200 000 USD) to 2.17 billion roubles (72 478 000 USD)  is fly away costs with maintenance, spares and simulators, : http://rt.com/business/tu204-redwings-production-airplane/ 

exchange rate determined by: http://www.oanda.com/currency/historical-rates/

Delivery Date: A little unknown, but according to http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Tupolev/Tu-204/64150,RA-64150-Tupolev-Design-Bureau.php the very first one was completed in either Dec 2010 (first flight) or Aug 2013 (delivery). TY-204CM= TU-204SM

Interview link/data, probably less reliable than from their website : http://www.avia-it.com/act/areariservata/Segnalazione_articoli_2014/Segnalazione_articoli_Mag_2014/What_is_Tu-204SM.pdf


Summary of data :

TU-204SM

MTOW: 108 000 kg

Cruising Altitude: 10600 - 12200 m

Range: see charts

Specific fuel consumption of PS-90A2: 0,396 kg / kg h
Cruising specific fuel consumption: 0.60 kg / kgsxch (huh?)

Runway Requirement: 1950m

Lots of data there Carl, hopefully enough for Sami to put this machine into the system. I just wish eastern hardware wasn't that costly to do maintenance on, they already have the drawback of higher fuel consumption. I know that many Russian/Ukrainian/Chinese engines require more frequent service and change of parts than Western counterparts, but the costs shouldn't be higher because of that. Because the cost of the parts and often the labor is also much cheaper.

Any news if we will get the TU-204SM in the game worlds?
