Incredible that so many of the moving parts still work even though it's been stored outdoors for 39 years
In Soviet Russia, plane stronk made of Stalinium, Dah!
I bet this Toupalev could still be restored to flying condition.
@@FinalLugiaGuardian Probably, but whoever did that would need very deep pockets indeed.
@@FinalLugiaGuardian let's be honest, it was barely ever in flying condition to begin with!😜
@@JakeOchs Don't laugh. The Soviets were evil geniuses.
Come to Germany, Sinsheim if you want to see an Tu144 and a Concorde Side by Side.
If only you know how difficult it is for a Russian to get an EU visa. No one tries to distinguish humanitarians from criminals. So so sad.
Sinsheim is fantastic, reccomended for all. They also have Concordes engine and landing gear on display inside the museum. And ofc lots of other aircraft and land/sea curiosities, civil and wartime, like hitlers car.
its great.only thing i dont like is they made it better to look at from the outside than from the inside.The planes are set up at such angles that you feel like mountain climbing while you are walking inside tha plane.
Thanks so much for the tip. I'll definitely do that the next time I'm in Germany.
Leon Sippel yeah but thoes ones are turned into museums and on a 37 degree angle
12:21 the fact that all 4 landing lights still work is just amazing.
Họ dang phục hồi chiếc máy bay huyền thoại này, và chắc chắn nó lại tung cánh trên bầu trời và nó vẫn là chiếc máy bay xinh đẹp và manh mẽ nhất trên thế giới!
Love the Tu-144. We got one parked right next to a Concorde in a musuem in Sinsheim, Germany.
@@theoonyoutube It's a former Air France Machine. We contributed nothing, but I guess the museum/it's owner made good deal.
It's the only location worldwide where both supersonic airlines can be seen next to each other.
@@theoonyoutube That's not true, really not true at all. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_K%C3%BCchemann, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna_Weber
@@theoonyoutube Why should a museum in a country that was not involved in building the aircraft not be allowed to display such an aircraft? They show technical masterpieces from around the world, without claiming they're German-made. Their second location in Speyer has a Boing 747 on display and a Buran space ship. So what?
@@theoonyoutube Why does the US have Concorde? They contributed nothing.
@@theoonyoutube Why does Germany have a Tu144? They contributed nothing.
I was lucky enough to fly on Concorde back in 2003, just before retirement (I emptied out my frequent flyer account). Some years later, I specifically flew from the US to Germany to see the Tu-144 at Sinsheim.
I really enjoyed your film, thank you.
Thanks for making the video, the Tu-144 has always been my favorite airplane. I remember when I first read about the Tu-144 as a little kid and it completely blew my mind. I knew about the Concorde, but the Tu-144 was even more mysterious and awesome. Thanks again
You mean the plane with 150 flights and 200 reported maintenance issues?
@@gelatinous6915 That doesn't matter to him, he just likes the plane even with the issues
The best of TH-cam, sky. Always original footage and material! Thank you.
Looking around the museum, I'd guess you have your next ten or so videos covered. Great channel.
I'm impressed at how well the museum curators have maintained the plane. To have so many mechanical and electrical features still working is quite remarkable.
Ryanair 737s need the TU-144 landing gear
Ryanair is an airline for cheapskate cunts who hate everybody including themselves.
andrew curran I disagree. they offer flights to great places for very affordable prices, and have created tourism where there wasn't before. Many places have become popular simply because Ryanair flies there. Your comment is very uninformed.
@@michalnowacki9252 true
Preach 👏👏👏
@@PORRRIDGE_GUN and you're probably a spoiled ungrateful little smelly bastard
@@80sfreak14 Like a lot of Ryanair cattle. Wankers who pay £5 for a flight complaining because they have to wait an hour for their bags. That's why your shitty flight cost £5.
I saw the TU - 144 and the Concorde both at the Technikmuseum Sinshein. And both are very impressive. It is fascinating to watch the technology of the TU - 144 in action.
Yes! about this time last year I was able to visit Monino during my two year stay in Russia! It was a dream come true. I loved all the planed there and was shocked to see an Илья Муромец replica and so many amazing aircraft. they were testing out the nose lowing mechanism on the TU-144 while I was there too. Truly incredible!!
My jaw dropped when the nose and canards came alive! I can't believe it still works! This is amazing I'm so happy.
1:52 Armstrong's autograph on the Tu-144 photo)
Interesting
NASA actually used a TU-144 for testing in the 90s!
The door at the back was used to let the passengers stretch their legs mid flight.
Nothing better than feeling the slight breeze of mach 2 on your face while breathing the crisp air of 20km altitude
:-D
N3oo1 They’re Russians they’re used to it.
@@riccardoscavo8485 The first smoking ban on a plane was on Hitlers airforce one.
@@patricksputnick5094 Fascinating one learns something new every day. Thank you
When I was younger I saw one by a German Autobahn and almost caused a crash trying to get my dad to slow down to get a picture. Never got the picture but it is perfectly clear in my mind. This plane is just plain amazing and one day I will get a picture of me in front of one. Love aviation and what got me into it was seeing an IL62 and trying to figure out what type of plane it was as a kid., and you know how that works! Once you get interested in civil aviation and commercial jets there’s no going back!
This kind of video brings together aviation enthusiasts from all around the world. Just look at the comments. Thank you very much.
I‘ve been in the TU-144 (CCCP-77112) in Sinsheim, Germany several times! It’s an incredible looking aircraft! Seeing the canards and the nose moving must have been a great and interesting experience!
Damn its cabin is huge for the supersonic
The best Tu-144 video in the TH-cam
By FAR the best documentary of my favorite airliner of all time. I've watched it several times now. Kudos to you S.E. David, NYC
beautiful, the fact everything still works aboard is awesome
That's the first time I get a look at the dramatic change in ground visibility when the nose in such a supersonic plane drops. Thank you for the great hands-on video.
The fact that the systems work even after sitting idle for 40 years is amazing
Wow,great to see the moving bits,,I can imagine how magnificent it was to see as I went on the Concorde in Duxford Museum and wow was amazing,,
Thanks Sky. It's a shame valuable aircraft like this are not stored indoors. In awsome museums from Krakow to Dayton I have seen once great aircraft decay with the elements and nesting birds and animals. It is too bad. All the more reason for you to record these iconic pieces before it's too late.
@Redlock
Agreed, I would be nice to see a wealthy patron to offer inside facilities for these valuable pieces of aviation history.
I agree, particularly with technological leaps of civil aviation like the Tu144, but there is something correct about seeing weapons of war rotting away.
@andrew curran
Not matter how hard one tries history cannot be erased.
Keep in kind that making large buildings Russia is twice as hard as in Europe or the US due to the weight of snow & ice and also due to freeze thaw issues with the ground. This is part of the reason that most Soviet & Russian aircraft were stored outside even when new....
Good to see Tu-144, and good to see the person behind skyships too. Great video as usual
Poor old girl left out in the elements. Fantastic of the mechanics to get her into a semi-operable state, and how terrific to see the nose being lowered! Looks like you had a great day out, and thanks for sharing! :)
I have to admit you are making better videos than many tv channel, is good to see youtubers like you making videos with better quality than tv channels
Sky you are the best excellent videos long live to you great country and your aviation
Thanks Skyships for this up close and personal look at this beautiful bird. Even though I'm in the USA I always liked this plane's look over Concorde and the Boeing prototype. The best improvement in my opinion was the canards. Those improved the low speed landing capabilities and made the plane look unique when landing. This also a ground breaking video. We finally have a face reveal. Now I see who is the man behind the voice of these awesome videos! Thanks again for all the work you put into theses educational videos. ✈
Very informative.Now iam eagerly waiting to visit the museum some day.
Awesome! Thanks very much. Been in the TU-144 in Sinsheim for 3 times but it never gets old. Love the details, the working cockpit, the canards.
The aircraft looks stunning from the outside, doesn't it
Very,it looks like some bird of prey.With those canards extended it looks kinda like a futuristic cocker spaniel.Soviets made the coolest looking planes.
@Uncle Joe Stalin You're right,they always will.
Sky, thank you for making an incredible video of a beautiful supersonic aircraft. I have always admired the Tupolev 144. It’s quite amazing that you were allowed to go and see many of the systems functioning, especially the nose droop and canards. It would have been fantastic to be able to see one of them takeoff, I am sure it was incredibly loud. I remember NASA using a Tu-144 for testing in the 90s.
Great video! Great to see you doing some field work. Having museum staff explaining technical aspects makes it even more enjoyable. Thanks!
Holy time warp, Batman! I remember the heady atmosphere in the earliest days of civilian SST development. What a crop of rule-breaking aircraft it produced. The aircraft you showed us is in remarkable condition. It is great that the droop snoot and the canards are operable. I would like to know more of the low-bypass engines installed on this plane and how they compare in jet propulsion technology of the time.
This plane is a very good example of Soviet technology of the seventies and this installment is an excellent example of a well produced and narrated TH-cam video.
@Fraser Henderson
Indeed, such a "can do" attitude by people back then, they were willing to take big risks and suffer or reap the rewards. Sad that we have gone soft today.
This is the best video on this plane I have seen! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.
Concorde and Tupolew 144 side by side in Sinsheim museum Germany.

It is a great museum
This is the best video you ever made. Watched it twice, and we get to SEE you! Please make more like this ;-)
Thank you. This is one of your best videos and was a real treat to see!,
Very good video, high quality job.
Your effort is definitely separating you from the good and putting you among the best! 👊
Excellent video again. I love your videos, they're very well researched and well produced!
This was probably the best review of this TU-144, a mysterious aircraft to me. Fascinating and keep up the video reviews of aircraft!
Always look forward to your vid's,, wonderfully narrated with so much enthusiasm,,,Thanx for another great vid,have a great week,,
Fantastic video of a super cool aircraft! Thx a lot for making and uploading it! :-)
That plane is beauty. I should visit that place.
A beautiful plane. I saw the TU 144 and Concorde flying together at the Paris Airshow (yes, sadly it was THAT airshow) and it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks for this video, great work.
On of your best videos so far. I really enjoyed the tour. Cheers from Sweden!
Your shows are great because they are informative with details and personal touches. Thank you for the content you share with us.
Inspiring content, as always.
I love that jet opening too.
I like the thoughtful engineering that went into this plane. It's different on the inside than I imagined. Thank you for sharing this. I learned more about this plane in this one video than everything else I've seen to date.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you 😊
Wow, never knew about the map system in the 144, that's pretty cool.
setsunatellem There’s a video of a guy tearing down and operating a system just like this from a Tornado. Super interesting.

Great video! Thank you so much for your effort and all the explanations. Cheers from Brazil.
Thank you so much sky. The video is excellent and great to see you in it. Your It is great to learn from your love of aviation.
Another great video sky,as always my friend.
Your work is first class this one top of class!!!!
The best video on Tu-144! Great passion and details
Great video!!! Enjoyed this one a lot.
Thank you. Very enjoyable to watch. You do such a good job.
Amazing video - Monino has the potential to be the greatest aviation museum in the world - hope the government will invest in it would make a great tourist destination
Great video man love them! I learn a lot.
Excellent as usual men! Keep going!
Fantastic footage! Thank you so much for your time making this. It has made my day. I'll see this beautiful machine in the flesh one day.
I also never knew there were 3 sections for passengers.
Spacibo. That it by far the best discussion of my favorite plane I've ever seen. Most of the other documentaries feature old fossils from France talking about their own glory days. Yours digs deep into the aeronautic/ engineering/ economic details better than any. Gold medal for you Skyships! D.A., J.D. NYC
I love your channel. And this time, we got to see you! Please keep posting these awesome videos. Cheers from USA! 🇺🇸😊💯
Came to watch your video of the TU-144... the nose drop was a very nice and unexpected treat! I had always wanted to see these in action on the TU-144. Well captured sir. Many good videos and lots of subscribers to you Sky!
Great, honest and wonderful video ! Thank you for this ... and greetings from Colombia
thank you for another wonderful video, this one was a special treat to be certain. So many outside of russia do not have a chance to see your many unique aeroplanes up close like this!
Such an optimistic and "can do" attitude by people back then, they were willing to take big risks and suffer or reap the rewards. Sad that we have gone soft today.
There was a lot of can do building this aircraft. The Russians did not steal a complete set of Concorde engineering drawings, material specifications and data.
@@larrysmith6797 The Soviets did obtain design information on the Concorde, but the TU-144 is not based on it....
Thank You Very Much Hulahoo & Skyships. I finally know For Sure. Greetings from México City.
This is an incredible video about a really remarkable piece of technology! Thank you!
That was a GREAT video!👍😊👍
I love this plane, and I like the strange accent. I've always dreamed of visting Monino; I hope someday that becomes true. Greetings from Argentina!
The same dream for Russian people to visit Iguasu! Welcome)
Best video in the history of TH-cam!
The only time when I don't want the lending took place. When Sky taken me on voyage far back in time... Love it.. Just love it
Wow!!! Amazing video!!! And a piece of history and Soviet engineering; the TU-144, thanks for posting.Cheers to you🍺🍺👍👍✌️✌️❤️❤️
I entered one in the technic museum in Sinsheim, Germany
amazing !!!! Thank you for making this video .
It’s fantastic that they’ve kept so many of the mechanical functions operational like that. I’m very impressed!
Amazing video from an amazing plane. Thanks a lot.
Thank you!! Finally a good video on the TU-144
I like how the CCCP lettering is well defined in the drawings :D
Amazing video Sky, I really love this plane, thanks i realle apreciate
