TU-144
HWBM :
Yes, agree re the NASA programme, but since then there has been some Boeing activity with this aircraft, which they have not said much about. (I was at Gromov/Zhukovsky when this was taking place, and met some of the guys, who, it has to be said, were totally bemused by the whole thing!). There was also some interest from Grumman/Sukhoi re a supersonic biz-jet. Obviously this has evaporated.
So this guy is presumably going to display it somewhere, sans engines?
Ironic, isn't it, that the Russian (read Soviet) and US ventures into the supersonic market both failed, despite the fact that the Russkies (Soviets) were getting the plans direct from Filton in those days.
The TU 144 finished up flying mail & cargo to Almaty, and the US attempt finished its life attached to a church in Florida, before being removed to scrapyard near Cocoa Beach. An ignominious end for both...
