Academician Fridlyander, concludes his account of the Tu-144 program: "Airplane (the Tu-144) was doomed as soon as the decision was made to compose it of large monolithic fragments machined of large metal panels. Instead of safely damageable design, this created its antipode – unsafely damageable design".
Interesting that the flight deck seems to be equipped with ejection seats. I wonder if that was part of the test model or later part of the commercial version. I guess as a passenger, when you see your flight crew drifting past your window in ejection seats, you better start praying.
I love the "car" pulling it (1:20)... it looks like a cross between Lady Penelope's rolls royce and a hummer.
