I just started flying the Tupolev TU-114.

It's ceiling is rated at about 36,000 ft.

I got her up to 25,100 and the speed couldn't be boosted to increase the altitude--it just wouldn't climb above 25,100.

What can be done to let it reach its ceiling?

Perhaps you still had too much fuel, so the plane was still too heavy at that time ?

Interesting idea...!
