Врядли можно говорить о прямом копировании 727!
1) 727 - меньше 154
2) Авионика, системы, агрегаты кардинально отличаются (возьмите хотя бы наши 3х-осные основные ноги или бустерное управление механизацией...)
На счёт историй с гкнсеками и т.д., конечно, одобрение было, но если-б всё что хотели генсеки тут же воплощалось, то вместо Ту-154 мы летали бы на коврах-самолётах или, в случае с Хрущёвым, на летающей кукурузе!) − Excalibure, 10 years ago, #
