The Tupolev Tu-134 was a Soviet twin-engine jet airliner developed from the Tu-124 concept with a new swept wing, rear-mounted engines, and a T-tail. First flown in 1963, it became one of the Warsaw Pact's most widely used regional jets, carrying passengers on short and medium routes and serving in government, military transport, and crew-training roles. Its robust landing gear and unpaved-field capability helped it operate across a broad network until the type was retired from scheduled service.
