concord it copy of the tu-144

[bunhuelito]

Definitely one of the most beautiful planes ever built... with the canards retracted, at least :) Together with the B-1B, Concorde and the Tu-160 0:-)

How long did this plane fly? .... Typical Russian garbage!

TU -144, Concorde...B1-B, TU-160...Mig29, F15. Who gives a shit. Just enjoy the video for what it is, some decent footage of a now long gone aircraft. Im really getting sick of the whole who copied who, US is better than Russia and vice versa argument. If its not that it's Airbus sucks, Boeing rocks etc etc... Talking of rocks, why not crawl back under the one you came out of if you don't like the video.

Actually there were two different Tu 144's ( at 1.10). The original prototype which beat Concorde into the air by 3 months but had to be redesigned and the redesigned Tu 144 D,S & LL ( at 1.33) which had a new fuselage, wing, nose, tailplane, landing gear and new repositioned engines plus a canard added for takeoff and landing stability. The aircraft at 1.36 is a Concorde.
