    While the Concorde is often hailed as a triumph of modern engineering, the first supersonic transport to ever fly was actually Soviet-built. The Tupolev TU-144 flew even faster than the Concorde and it carried more passengers. What happened to this aircraft and why have so few heard about it?
    Getting the TU-144 built before the Concorde (and therefore proving Soviet superiority to the world) was allegedly a high priority for the Soviets. The plane was developed under a tight schedule and relied on a few less advanced aviation technologies. The TU-144 suffered three known crashes, the most famous being at the 1973 Paris Air Show (there are conflicting theories on the cause of the 1973 crash). In regular passenger service, the TU-144 proved unreliable. Only one flight a week was permitted on a single route between Moscow and Almaty, Kazakhstan. It is rumoured that Soviet leaders were nervous about the 144's airworthiness and ordered it's chief designer Alexei Tupolev to personally inspect every 144.
    Supersonic travel proved expensive and could only be offered as a 'premium' product in commercial airline travel. In west, the Concorde could be marketed as a luxury product to serve the wealthy and airfares could be sold at prices well beyond typical airfares. In the communist Soviet Union, where egalitarian principles demanded that displays of wealth or class be subdued, the TU-144 airfare had to be set similar to the typical Soviet airfare. This meant that the 144 had to be operated at a loss for Aeroflot, and Aeroflot couldn't wait to stop flying it.
    The TU-144 was removed from regular passenger service less than a year after it began (although cargo service was offered for a couple more years). In the 1990's, a modified version of Tu-144 was utilized by Tupolev, NASA, and other aerospace conglomerates as a research testbed for a second-generation supersonic jetliner. #Tu144 #Tupolev #Supersonic #Airplanes

    The irony of fate is that both air crashes of two planes are separated by 2 kilometers from each other the Tu-144 crash near Paris was an aviation disaster that occurred on Sunday, June 3, 1973 at the 30th Le Bourget International Air Show. The Concorde disaster near Paris was a major aviation accident that occurred on Tuesday, July 25, 2000 Gonesse, 4 km from Charles de Gaulle Airport.

      "The Irony of Fate" Sounds like the name of a great classic Soviet movie (1976): Ирония судьбы. But another irony of the Concorde and Tu-144 crashes (being 27 years apart but only a couple of kilometres from each other) is that they were both the subject of cover-ups by the French.
      The TU-144 didn't have as good flying dynamics as Concorde and, while performing its display (in very overcast weather) the Tu-144 had to take avoiding action while encountering a French jet - sent up to take photos of the Tu-144 while it performed. No one thought to tell the Tu-144 flight crew that a French Mirage was occupying the same air space and, when the Russian pilot was suprised to encounter it, the avoiding action took the TU-144 outside the operating parameters of the aircraft.
      The Concorde crash in 2000 was subject to a massive cover-up by both Air France and the French Government. Although the metal strip (left on the runway by a recently departed DC-10) is ofted cited as the sole cause of the accident, that particular Concorde was already in some difficulty before it even hit the DC-10 fragment on the runway - due to very bad maintence by Air France, and also because of very poor decision-making/choices made by the Concorde flight crew on the day. John Hutchinson's expert detailed analysis of the crash is probably the most impartial and credible account of exactly why the crash happened.

    The Cold War is definitely my favorite period of history. Yes the Cold War was filled with conflict, division, and bloodshed but it gave superpowers an excuse to advance in technology. To outdo each other. It's like watching a tennis match seeing two countries go back and forth between each other. I mean just look at the Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984 Olympics as an example of the Cold War. The Moscow 1980 emblem had a communist star, the mascot was the national animal, and we boycotted the games. Then Los Angeles 1984 came around and the US went all "AMERICA, F YEAH" on it with an emblem with stars in the most patriotic way possible, a mascot that was the national animal in the most patriotic way possible with a Lady Liberty torch and Uncle Sam hat, and the Soviets boycotted the games.
    Being of both Russian and Cuban descent (my mom's side left Cuba years before the revolution because of Batista and his treatment of the lower classes), I've made it a goal to learn about the cultures/histories of the countries of my heritage and two of those countries being Cuba and Russia, I learned a lot about the Cold War. Whether you like history or not, can't help but admit that it's incredible to go back in time in a certain period, learn of achievements at the time, and see how much we've changed since then.

      Spoiler alert from the Aviation Maintenance Industry. The MAX is a very good plane. The mishaps were pilot error. The crashes revolve around a single switch on the cockpit. It has been around since the original 737. The different instruments mean pilots needed some additional training that was never done by those airlines. Most of the commotion is by media not understanding it.

    TU 144 remained in commercial business till 1983 and for research purposes till 1999. It is not as bad it sounds in this video. Infact, NASA chose TU144 over Concord for its Eclipse mission. The engineering and maneuverability was much better of TU144 than the Concord.

    Conceptually TU-144 and Concord are very different, also both engineering teams were visiting each other during the development of both planes. The story of stolen papers is more of a propaganda. The problem of TU-144 were mainly engines, which were quiet rough, not as reliable as RR's and yes to maintain Supersonic they had to have afterburner on all the way (hello fuel efficiency), the last nail into TU-144 coffin - it was too expensive for Soviet economy. But it's a beautiful plane, I wish it was not created in such a rush.

    It is strange to hear the author's story about "brutal landings" because of the speed when the landing speed of the Tu-144 (270 km / h) was lower than that of the Concorde (300 km / h). The Tu-144 needed a parachute due to the lack of suitable airfields and for emergency situations.
    Also, the author did not mention the reason for the crash of the Tu-144 in 1983 in Paris - this was not the cause of a malfunction, but a forced maneuver due to an unexpected flight interference.
    In general, the Tu-144 was simply not needed by the USSR, so its operation was curtailed, and not because it was "backward," as the author says.
    So, the USSR has not existed for 30 years, and Western propaganda, denigrating its achievements, is still working. Applause.

Also it is known that during the crash at Paris a spy plane was involved. The author also gives details about TU144 failures but does not mention the Concorde crash to make a fair comparison of safety records. Cold war sucked for everyone.

    Well, my mom flew Tu-144 when she was a girl together with my grandma. And I recall her stories about that. How super cool it was. She also said that engine noise passed when the plane gained supersonic speed. Actually she did not complain about noise only said about supersonic speed quietness. I think it's like an attraction to enjoy supersonic speed at supersonic age feel the engine for some time and then observe the sonic boom phenomena and much less noise. I think anyone who flew it would recall it with admiration. It's not like you fly to space and say well it was super comfy. It's not about that. Relative danger makes the flight even a greater adventure and fun. May be I'll ask my mom about her memories of this flight when i talk to her again. My grandma was a teacher btw and granddad was a miner both never drank alcohol in case you want to mix some racism here.
    P.S.: spoke to mom. She visited cockpit in flight as a child. Will post more info soon. May be she remembers pilots or some interesting details. I think at that time children and curious people in the western countries too were allowed to visit cockpit sometimes.

The MiG 15 design was apparently based on a German jet design of the Focke-Wulf Ta 183, which was in development towards the end of the Second World War. Television was developed by a LOT of different people from different countries dating back to the 1870s, owing credit to one-another for its practical use. Russians did not "create television."
      I'm not calling Russians "primitive" because that would be ludicrous, but Russia, especially in the Soviet era has made a lot of claims of being "the first" at a lot of different things that have no basis in reality. I'm sure that Americans have done the same in order to bring attention to themselves. The fact of the matter is that "inventions" always borrow from other people's ideas in order to make ideas feasible. People who are generally credited with "inventing" important technologies always owe their inventiveness to lesser-known people who had the ideas of such things long before they were invented.

    TUPOLEV TU-144 and CONCORDE: The two planes are fundamentally different. The TU-144 had double delta wings which allowed the installation of "slats" all over the leading edge of the wing which was straight. Those of the Concorde were in ogival delta which would make the installation of "slats" too complicated if not impossible. On the TU-144 having the engines close to the fuselage and a wingspan of 28.8 meters (compared to 25.6 for the Concorde) this made it possible to have the significantly larger flaps helped by the ailerons which acted as flaperons. All these devices combined with the retractable "canard" wings of the TU-144 allowed it to have take-off speeds but especially in approach and landings significantly lower than those of Concorde and which made it possible to make the approach circuits and landing integrated with the other planes which was not the case with Concorde. The big problem of Concorde was even its very high speed to take off which generated an enormous energy of projection during a burst of a tire. Another serious design flaw was the very great exposure of the kerosene tanks to projections from the landing gear were even the cause of many incidents but three accidents with significant leakage of kerosene, two in 1979 (one in Dakar and the other in Washington/Dulles). In November 1981, the American National transportation Safety Board (NTSB) sent a letter of concern to the French BEA that included safety recommendations for Concorde. This communiqué was the result of the NTSB's investigations of four Air France Concorde incidents during a 20-month period from July 1979 to February 1981. The NTSB described those incidents as "potentially catastrophic," because they were caused by blown tyres during takeoff. During its 27 years in service, Concorde had about 70 tyre- or wheel-related incidents, seven of which caused serious damage to the aircraft or were potentially catastrophic. The most serious accident was in July 2000 in Gonesse (France) that caused 113 deaths and marked the end of the aircraft's prestige. On the TU-144 such an accident would be impossible or would not have had the same consequences, the landing gear, parts of the engine nacelles and the critical places were made with titanium, but at the time titanium metallurgy was unknown in Western Europe, reason why all the structure of the Concorde was in steel and aluminum this material is very light but very fragile to the shocks. Engines are also different, those of TU-144 were double flux turbo-fans, those of Concorde are simple turbo-jets. On landing, its very high speed implied a very special approach and landing procedure, it was necessary to create a vacuum in front of Concorde, which prevented several large aircrafts from landing. The French and British governments paid the airport for the loss of revenue for each plane prevented from landing because the arrival of Concorde, which amounted to extremely expensive operation. Normally this too high speed on take-off but especially on approach and landing would not have allowed him to be certified for the civil service of public passenger transport, it was necessary to obtain a dispensation obtained at the political level (meeting between Nixon and Pompidou in 1973), prestige and the Cold War required. Air traffic controllers had to give full priority to requests from Concorde what add to glamour and prestige to travellers but made procedures extremelly expensive. To comply with standard approach and landing procedures the early supersonic project of the Boeing 2707 had wings of variable geometry. The engines are also very different, Tupolev's engines are turbo-fans, those of Concorde are pure turbo-jets.

      +Matthijs vd poel - The TU-144 had all it could do just getting (and staying) airborne on Jet A /JP4 or whatever crap the Russians were producing. The voldka was reserved for the INSIDE of the plane, especially those brave souls tasked with herding it from point 'A' to point 'B'. I mean, the point 'B' that they intended at the start of the flight.

    Don't forget that during USSR operational costs were not an issue as everything was owned by the Soviet government. USSR did not have any privately owned airlines. Nobody cared about fuel prices in Aeroflot.The main reasons why Tupolev 144 project was terminated were 1. Constant technical issues 2) low range.

      @@EricCartmanRussian Yes? Technology isn't a simple process, actual development and production takes time.
      In this case, as the video itself explains in no uncertain terms, the Soviets stole a lot of technical data from the Concorde program and rushed the Tu-144 through production to launch it as fast as possible, and managed to get it out a few months before the Concorde.
      Problem is that.. well, it was shit. The Concorde worked, it served for over 20 years - the Tu-144 crashed spectacularily on several occasions and was retired after less than 1 year.
      Maybe this is some misguided patriotic conspiracy theory you have, but the information on the Tu-144s development is from Soviet archives released after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, so you're basically saying that Russia lied about Russian technology being bad to make Russia look bad.
      But hey, if you want to believe that Russia made a *completely unrelated* shit plane that didn't work slightly before the French and British made a nearly identical but good plane that did work... enjoy that, I guess, lol.

      Sounds counter intuitive maybe, but is definately possible.
      After all, the big ideas are head first. One then takes time to optimize all the 'less' innovative things, while the other, after stealing the major innovation plans, rushes those smaller things.
      Which will give you exactly what you see here.
      Generally, communism never works. It cant. It is by the sheer character of individuals that in some fields the USSR actually did achieve a lead. Individuals, which is precisely the opposite of what communism entails.
      Im equally critical of capitalism by the way. It is similarly flawed. Just in another way.

    Как любящий крыло человек, не могу пройти мимо.
    Странно слышать про адаптированное крыло для всех режимов.. конкорд переливал топливо в задние баки чтобы приземлиться, смещая тем самым центр тяжести всего самолета назад. Профессионалы поймут, что всё это не просто и не быстро, к тому же при нештатной ситуации ещё и опасно. А значит всё своё топливо на полёт он выработать не мог, иначе не сядет :)
    Следовательно, ни о каком многорежимном суперкрыле тут речи идти не может. Это не лучше, это просто по-другому.
    И соглашусь с одним из комментаторов. Жаль, что западная пропаганда ещё функционирует в этом направлении.
    _______
    As a wing-loving person, I cannot pass by.
    It's strange to hear about an adapted wing for all flight modes .. Concorde poured fuel into the rear tanks to land, thereby shifting the center of gravity of the entire aircraft back. Professionals will understand that all this is not easy and not fast, moreover, in an emergency, it is also dangerous. So he could not work out all his fuel for the flight, otherwise he would not sit down :)
    Consequently, there can be no talk of any multimode superwing here. It’s not better, it’s just different.
    And I agree with one of the commentators. It is a pity that Western propaganda is still functioning in this direction.

      @@user-os6vn9dw1k Учите матчасть. Ту 144 терпел крушения на испытатальных полётах. Такое бывает. Но создали туполевцы надёжнейший самолёт . Конкорд же развалился в воздухе именно благодаря конструктивным недоработкам. Они украли чертежи,но своим скудным умишком подумали-"тупые русские разместили двигатели под фюзеляжем,и от этого шумно в салоне,и мы,цивилизованные европейцы разнесём их на крылия чтобы было комфортнее". При этом не сообразили спросить у "тупых русских" для чего они это сделали. А всё просто-под крыльями двигатели это значит что они под топливными баками. И любая течь топлива уничтожит самолёт. Что в общем и случилось с конкордом. Ту 144 тоже на испытаниях сталкивался с подобной проблемой, но благополучно вернулся на аэродром т.к. топливо не загорелось в силу конструктивных особенностей.
      Что имеем? Когда цивилизованные европейцы поняли что натворили,они быстренько списали самолёты и запретили их эксплуатацию т.к. рано или поздно они все потерпят крушение. А тушка и сейчас летает в виде летающей лаборатории. И арендует её боинг. Вопрос-почему боинг выбрал и платит миллионы долларов своему геополитическому противнику-России за ту144 а не за политически правильный конкорд? Ответ очевиден-боятся они на бомбе замедленного действия летать-на конкорде.
