Tupolev Tu-334

The Tupolev Tu-334 was a Russian short to medium range airliner project that was developed to replace the aging Tu-134s and Yak-42s in service around the world. The airframe was based on a shortened Tu-204 fuselage and a scaled-down version of that aircraft's wing. Unlike the Tu-204 however the Tu-334 has a T-tail and engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage instead of under the wings.
