The Tupolev Tu-454 is a concept for a twin-engine, long-range wide-body airliner from the Tupolev design bureau, first shown as a scale model at the 20th Russian Venture Forum in Kazan in April 2026. It is pitched in the class of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350, with a projected 250 to 350 passengers and a range of about 15,000 km, and would be powered by two Aviadvigatel PD-26 turbofan engines. The project is tied to Russia's wish to rebuild its own wide-body capability after the CRAIC CR929 programme with China ended. As of April 2026 it remains at the conceptual or mock-up stage, with no announced timeline, production plan or confirmed customer, and United Aircraft Corporation, which controls Tupolev, has issued no official statement on it.
