 |
Announced in 1993, this attractive multirole light transport was planned around the use of two pusher piston engines (Russian or American), each rated at 220hp and driving a constant speed four-blade propeller. |
 |
Since then it has grown in dimensions, the wing being twice redesigned, and the Tu-34 is now offered in two sizes with different weights and with a choice of piston engines or turboprops. |
 |
In either case, the metal/composlte airframe has wide-span track-mounted highlift flaps, full-span leading-edge slats, outboard tabbed ailerons and midspan spoilers, a T-type tail, and tricycle landing gear retracting into the finely streamlined fuselage. |
 |
Piston engines This version has a slightly sweptback tailplane and an unpressurised cabin 2.75m (108in) long, 1.6m (63in) wide and 1.34m (52.8in) high, arranged for a pilot and passenger in front and a row of three seats behind. Alternatively 450kg (992Ib) of cargo can be carried, or the interior can be equipped for surveillance, ambulance or other roles. |
 |
The leading edge of the wing, originally tapered, is now at 90 deg to the longitudinal axis, the tips are raked, and the adoption of foreplanes is being studied. |
 |
Engine power has risen to 230hp each, giving a cruise fuel consumption of 45-50 litres (10-11gal)/h.
|
 |
Span 13.2m (43ft 3 5/8in); length 9.44m (30ft 11 5/8in); wing area not stated. Weight loaded 1,900kg (4,189lb). |
 |
Maximum speed 360k/h(224h); cruising speed 280-329km/h (174-199mph); range 1,800km (1,118 miles); required runway length 400m (1,312ft). |
 |
Turboprop version |
 |
The wing would have slight forward sweep and straight tips, and the horizontal tail would have equal taper, the elevator being a single surface with a central tab. |
 |
The circular-section fuselage would be pressurised, and house a cabin 3.0m (118in) long, 1.55m (61in) wide and 1.34m (52 3/4in) high, able to carry a pilot and a passenger in front and up to six more passengers in two staggered bench seats behind.
|
 |
Alternatively, 700kg (1,5431b) or cargo could be carried or a front passenger, stretcher and attendant. With the piston-engined model on hold, it is planned to fly the prototype turboprop Tu-34 in 1998. |
 |
Span 13.4m (43ft 11 5/8in);
length 9.9m (32ft 5 3/4in); wing area not stated. Weight loaded 2,520kg (5,556Ib). |
 |
Cruising speed 450km/h (280mph) at 5,000m; service ceiling 7,500m (24,600ft) with cabin altitude 2,6OOm; range 580km (360 miles)with 700kg (1,543lb) payload, 2,1OOkm (1,305miles) with 44Okg; required runway length 400m (1,312ft). |
