Comfortable passenger planes with all imaginable and inconceivable amenities did not immediately appear. At first, this type of transport was used exclusively for military purposes, as well as for transporting goods and delivering mail. The first to realize that you could “make” money on aircraft “through” passengers were the Europeans. Even enterprising Americans are a little behind here. But Russia is not. If you look at old photographs of the giant “Ilya Muromets”, you can see all the luxury items in the cabin. These are not only chairs, bars, beds, toilets, but even a telephone plus an on-board telephone exchange! Yes, there is no such thing even today.
And in the Old World, the first passenger flights started back in the 1920s. Initially, these were bombers not used for their intended purpose. One can only guess what kind of “comfort” it was there. But time passed: first there were soft seats, near which there were windows with vents: you never know, I wanted to get some fresh air. The low speeds of aircraft then allowed this.
Later, airplanes began to be equipped following the example of passenger trains: classes and compartments appeared. The USSR also did not lag behind: the Tu-114 can serve as an example. Initially, Tupolev assumed that the car would be used to transport various delegations. This explains the increased comfort on board the model. Comfortable chairs, a large distance between them, and what a menu there was - many restaurants could only envy! What else did passengers enjoy on airplanes that today can only be found in museums?
