The Tu-114 Rossiya airliner was of the same general layout as well. With the noise wonder what the ride was like. from Wiki - The Tu-114 had a fairly short commercial service life, being operated from 1962 to 1976. While in service the plane was known for its reliability, speed and fuel economy (it used less fuel than the Il-62 that replaced it). In regular service with Aeroflot, the plane was first used for flights to international destinations like Copenhagen, Havana, Montréal, New Delhi, Paris, Belgrade and Tokyo (in co-operation with JAL). When it was replaced by the Ilyushin Il-62 on these routes, it was frequently used on long range domestic flights. After the end of commercial service, it was used by the army and airforce until the early 1980s.
