> Tu-144 flew before Concord. "The aircraft was introduced into passenger service on 1 November 1977, almost two years after Concorde, because of budget restrictions." Yes, they've managed to "overcame bourgeous West" with Tu-144, but because design and production was rushed - they got Paris air show crash, postponed operational services and generally bad design, forcing earlier retirement for Tu-144. |
