Onboard the Russian corporate jet

In the new story, we will have a tour onboard a very unusual aircraft. Russian space agency - Roscosmos received at its disposal 2 Tu-204-300 airliners in a VIP corporate configuration. The planes are named after Sergei Korolev and Yuri Gagarin.
Each plane is equipped with an interior, including both a regular cabin and comfort zones. In this configuration, they should ensure fast and comfortable transportation of personnel and cosmonauts to space industry facilities located both throughout Russia and beyond.
Welcome onboard!

Bud... one thing stands really out for me. As brazillian... listen Boeing BBJ, Airbus ACJ and EMBRAER Lineage in the same sentence (like shoulder to shoulder) is AWESOME. Here in Brazil people dont have the idea how good Embraer is. There are more EMbraer planes flying for companies outside of Brazil than here. It was great for me. I know how ERJ 145 change Embraer in the aviation world but most people here dont.

Great video, interesting stuff you can't find elsewhere. I love how much work you put in to actually going and touring interesting aircraft. I've never seen another English language channel give us tours at this level of detail, your channel is a bit of a diamond in the rough.

[@athompso99]

I wondered about the greenish cockpits I keep seeing in Russian planes, and then you mentioned it specially. Is there a particular reason why almost all Eastern-bloc planes seem to use that same colour for the cockpit panels?

[@SkyshipsEng]

The green color of the cockpits was developed for aircraft back in the USSR. Psychologists considered that this color is better perceived by pilots

[@oskar6661]

Generally speaking stuff like this is a result of studies to determine what provides less eye-strain on pilots, makes gauges easier to see/read, etc. It may also help in low-light situations, etc.

[@sammesopotamia8166]

good notice.. in fact it is bluish green.. this is very natural to the sees, skies, and grassy lands.

[@dianawilson4368]

Also, it keeps pilots more awake and alert, for the same reason that blue light on your computer or phone screen keeps you up at night. The USSR actually did studies on this, and it showed pilots were more alert and attentive at the end of a flight with a blue-green color in the cockpit. Safety!

[@admiralbeluga6438]

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

the Sukhoi SuperJet™ 100 BJ equipped with additional fuel tanks can fly Singapore (SING) - Dublin (DUB) non-stop . . . as for the Ilyushin Il-96M it's no overkill, just a victim of ever changing consistency but it's still just as good . . .

With all of the current sanctions. The latest model of the TU-204 may have returning to production.

But, why they choose the PS-90A instead of the more recent PD-14?

[@arrant638]

PD14 is still being tested and certified. In any case, replacing PS90 with PD, 14 in Tu 204 is not an easy task. the fuselage and wing need to be redesigned.

@@baomao7243, no shit, Sherlock! I'd commented to Skyships for a good period of time that I could do mass/weight calculations and velocity calculations in my head, (Well ish[?] allowing for the fact that kg or tonnes are a unit of mass and pounds is weight and one is a scalar quantity and the other is a vector quantity) but I couldn't do thrust conversions off the top of my head and I had to break the film to find units I understood. Skyships was nice enough to subtitle a lbf figure for a period of time, which I was very appreciative of. My comment was just a prompt in case he had forgotten.
