Turbofan Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 The Praying Mantis of the airliner world! I love it! Must dig mine out and build it one of these days. Is it an easy build Steve? Cheers, Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Many thank's folk's,I still have Revell's Concorde in the stash which was meant to be built alongside her at the time I still think the 144 was a beautiful aircraft but wonder who in the then USSR would have flown on her apart from the party elite still a shame nothing came of the design after the Paris tragedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Paris crash didn't bring about an immediate end to the programme. Other test versions continued to be flown and it eventually entered limited service with Aeroflot in 1977. However, Aeroflot didn't really want it and it proved pretty much unworkable as a practical supersonic airliner. There was another accident in Aeroflot service and the few in use were all retired by 1980. The Tu144 wasn't completely finished because in the 1990s, NASA hired a refurbished and re-engined example and used it for supersonic transport experiments and tests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Absolutely beautiful! Definitely is one of my favourite aircraft of all time, so long as it's on the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
