THE FIRST SET OF ROLLS-ROYCE RB.211-535s has been delivered to Aviastar in Ulyanovsk for installation on a production Tupolev Tu-204. The aircraft will be used to complete certification of the R-R-powered Tu-204-200 series. The delivery was timed to coincide with the visit of a business group to finalise talks about a "substantial order" for RB.211-powered Tu-204s.
