Ah yes, the TU-334. Abandoned after nearly 10 years of mucking about after the break up of the old Soviet Union and only delivering two flying examples. Replaced by the Sukhoi "SuperJet 10-95" in recent times at much lower cost to a prospective buyer.
It, too, likes flying at a high angle of incidence.
Think Sukhoi and its incredible SU-27 "Fulcrum", along with the ubiquitous aerobatic contest aircraft, the SU-26, and you have to know that Sukhoi is pretty clever in the aeronautical design department.
