Old story, and done to death so often even I hesitate to answer...
In brief....
Both based on 'open-source' NASA studies of best shape in the late '50s.
So solutions would have been similar.
Exactly like Concorde?
Not that similar after all.
Concorde wing is a complex ogive shape with all kinds of subtle twists.
TU-144 is just a basic double-delta.
fabbe92, if you've never seen a Tu-144 before, and know nothing about its story, might I suggest there is such a thing as the internet and Google and Wikipedia, where you can inform yourself, before polluting a halfway professional forum?
