The Tupolev Tu-107 is an aircraft designation that appears in structured data records, specifically within Wikidata, but lacks corroboration in established aviation histories. According to these records, the aircraft is associated with Production Corporation Polyot and the Kazan Aircraft Production Association (KAPO). However, there is no verifiable evidence in independent aviation references, such as Jane's or standard Soviet aircraft histories, to suggest that a Tu-107 was ever designed, prototyped, or flown. The absence of technical specifications, first flight dates, and production figures indicates that the Tu-107 is likely a classification artifact or an unrealized paper project rather than a physical aircraft.
While the Tu-107 itself remains undocumented, the organizations linked to it have extensive histories. The Kazan Aircraft Production Association, founded in 1927 in Kazan, Russia, has been a primary site for the manufacture of various Tupolev designs. KAPO's historical output includes the Tu-4 heavy bomber, which entered mass production in 1949, as well as the Tu-16, Tu-22M, and Tu-160 strategic bombers. In the contemporary era, the plant continues to produce the Tu-214 airliner for civil and government use. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, KAPO became part of Tupolev PJSC and is currently integrated into the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).
The design bureau responsible for the 'Tu' designation, JSC Tupolev (formerly OKB-156), remains a major Russian entity based in Moscow that supplies aircraft to the Russian Aerospace Forces. Regarding the manufacturer mentioned in the Tu-107 record, Production Corporation Polyot, there is no primary documentation linking this specific entity to a Tupolev aircraft of this designation. Other entities named Polyot are known for producing small satellites or components for aircraft like the An-3 and An-70, but no connection to a Tu-107 program exists in the available research. Consequently, the Tu-107 possesses no known service history, engine specifications, or surviving examples in museums.
