While the Concorde is often hailed as a triumph of modern engineering, the first supersonic transport to ever fly was actually Soviet-built. The Tupolev TU-144 flew even faster than the Concorde and it carried more passengers. What happened to this aircraft and why have so few heard about it?
Getting the TU-144 built before the Concorde (and therefore proving Soviet superiority to the world) was allegedly a high priority for the Soviets. The plane was developed under a tight schedule and relied on a few less advanced aviation technologies. The TU-144 suffered three known crashes, the most famous being at the 1973 Paris Air Show (there are conflicting theories on the cause of the 1973 crash). In regular passenger service, the TU-144 proved unreliable. Only one flight a week was permitted on a single route between Moscow and Almaty, Kazakhstan. It is rumoured that Soviet leaders were nervous about the 144's airworthiness and ordered it's chief designer Alexei Tupolev to personally inspect every 144.
Supersonic travel proved expensive and could only be offered as a 'premium' product in commercial airline travel. In west, the Concorde could be marketed as a luxury product to serve the wealthy and airfares could be sold at prices well beyond typical airfares. In the communist Soviet Union, where egalitarian principles demanded that displays of wealth or class be subdued, the TU-144 airfare had to be set similar to the typical Soviet airfare. This meant that the 144 had to be operated at a loss for Aeroflot, and Aeroflot couldn't wait to stop flying it.
The TU-144 was removed from regular passenger service less than a year after it began (although cargo service was offered for a couple more years). In the 1990's, a modified version of Tu-144 was utilized by Tupolev, NASA, and other aerospace conglomerates as a research testbed for a second-generation supersonic jetliner. #Tu144 #Tupolev #Supersonic #Airplanes
The Technik Museum Sinsheim in Germany has both the Concorde and the Russian Tupolev Tu-144 displayed on poles. You can look at them from a distance next to one another, from underneath close up, or climb the stairs and go inside. The entire museum is worth the visit.
I've seen swiss001's videos, he visited the two planes
Thanks for info mate, will visit definately sounds cool. Maybe with some new light materials and new engine types super sonic will return. During cold war we had a lot of crazy inventions which were super cool and made no sense :) I want more crazy things invented even they are not efficient (like Gyrobuses in Switzerland in 40s).
It's really cool :D

The irony of fate is that both air crashes of two planes are separated by 2 kilometers from each other the Tu-144 crash near Paris was an aviation disaster that occurred on Sunday, June 3, 1973 at the 30th Le Bourget International Air Show. The Concorde disaster near Paris was a major aviation accident that occurred on Tuesday, July 25, 2000 Gonesse, 4 km from Charles de Gaulle Airport.
"The Irony of Fate" Sounds like the name of a great classic Soviet movie (1976): Ирония судьбы. But another irony of the Concorde and Tu-144 crashes (being 27 years apart but only a couple of kilometres from each other) is that they were both the subject of cover-ups by the French.
The TU-144 didn't have as good flying dynamics as Concorde and, while performing its display (in very overcast weather) the Tu-144 had to take avoiding action while encountering a French jet - sent up to take photos of the Tu-144 while it performed. No one thought to tell the Tu-144 flight crew that a French Mirage was occupying the same air space and, when the Russian pilot was suprised to encounter it, the avoiding action took the TU-144 outside the operating parameters of the aircraft.
The Concorde crash in 2000 was subject to a massive cover-up by both Air France and the French Government. Although the metal strip (left on the runway by a recently departed DC-10) is ofted cited as the sole cause of the accident, that particular Concorde was already in some difficulty before it even hit the DC-10 fragment on the runway - due to very bad maintence by Air France, and also because of very poor decision-making/choices made by the Concorde flight crew on the day. John Hutchinson's expert detailed analysis of the crash is probably the most impartial and credible account of exactly why the crash happened.
You don't understand the meaning of the word 'irony'. This was coincidence, not irony. Irony would have been booking a ticket on that fateful Concorde flight because you knew it had a 100% safety record.

@@stuartmiller7419 and you don't understand the meaning of the word fate? "Irony of fate" is russian phraseological unit, that means (surprise-surprise) coincidence. I think it's pretty understandable even though there is no such frase in english. Irony of fate - fate is playing a joke, something like that.
The Concord disaster was caused by debris on the runway of CDG, something that ought not to happen. CDG is a badly managed airport one should better avoid.

Boeing 737 MAX Engineers: Take notes
I agree with you, especially with the 737 max. Even B4 the Max I've had a few near disasters in the 737s. They may have a good safety record overall but I'll NEVER fly in a 737 again. And up until 1993 I did LOTS of flying! Horrible Aircraft!
The A-10 is much, much better.
Spoiler alert from the Aviation Maintenance Industry. The MAX is a very good plane. The mishaps were pilot error. The crashes revolve around a single switch on the cockpit. It has been around since the original 737. The different instruments mean pilots needed some additional training that was never done by those airlines. Most of the commotion is by media not understanding it.
Yay for common aviation sense!
But weren't the mishaps from a stall prevention system where if it detects a low enough airspeed, the nose drops staggeringly, but the airspeed indicator was feeding false info to the system?

The Cold War is definitely my favorite period of history. Yes the Cold War was filled with conflict, division, and bloodshed but it gave superpowers an excuse to advance in technology. To outdo each other. It's like watching a tennis match seeing two countries go back and forth between each other. I mean just look at the Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984 Olympics as an example of the Cold War. The Moscow 1980 emblem had a communist star, the mascot was the national animal, and we boycotted the games. Then Los Angeles 1984 came around and the US went all "AMERICA, F YEAH" on it with an emblem with stars in the most patriotic way possible, a mascot that was the national animal in the most patriotic way possible with a Lady Liberty torch and Uncle Sam hat, and the Soviets boycotted the games.
Being of both Russian and Cuban descent (my mom's side left Cuba years before the revolution because of Batista and his treatment of the lower classes), I've made it a goal to learn about the cultures/histories of the countries of my heritage and two of those countries being Cuba and Russia, I learned a lot about the Cold War. Whether you like history or not, can't help but admit that it's incredible to go back in time in a certain period, learn of achievements at the time, and see how much we've changed since then.
Except the SU never outdid anyone in anything. Shit economy, shit tech, shit politics and society. They forced the world into a nuclear stalemate. Oh, and they occupied and oppressed eastern Europe for almost 50 years. Some awesome times.
It never ended.
Actually cold war is a fun time for anyone outside iron curtain. Music was fun, life was easy, education and food very affordable, car too was fun and easy to fix urself

I have flown on both the Concorde and the Tu144. The interior of the Tu-144 was loud, sure, but it was quite possible to carry on conversations and the plane was quite comfortable. The windows were much larger than the tiny Concord widows and made for quite a view when at altitude.
Sorry but I don't believe you.

When you make claims like that you need to cite your sources, lest it become a game of he said; she said.
@@mightymartin4854 If you were directing your comment to me, what sort of sources do you want to provide validate my personal observations?
@@johnvalentine265 Well, first of all, if we look the noise levels in the Tu-144s cabin, which were in the range of 90-95 dB [1] versus a normal conversation, which is 60 dB [2]. (Ever tried talking next to a running Harley?) Secondly, you are correct, the Tu-144s windows were larger than Concordes, (But given that windows in aviation pose a structural vulnerability, is that really such a good thing?) Now, I must admit; I've never flown on either, though my grandfather has flown on Concorde. (Make of that what you will.)

TU-144: "Bruh."
exactly what i thought - creepy face plane
Well, my mom flew Tu-144 when she was a girl together with my grandma. And I recall her stories about that. How super cool it was. She also said that engine noise passed when the plane gained supersonic speed. Actually she did not complain about noise only said about supersonic speed quietness. I think it's like an attraction to enjoy supersonic speed at supersonic age feel the engine for some time and then observe the sonic boom phenomena and much less noise. I think anyone who flew it would recall it with admiration. It's not like you fly to space and say well it was super comfy. It's not about that. Relative danger makes the flight even a greater adventure and fun. May be I'll ask my mom about her memories of this flight when i talk to her again. My grandma was a teacher btw and granddad was a miner both never drank alcohol in case you want to mix some racism here.
P.S.: spoke to mom. She visited cockpit in flight as a child. Will post more info soon. May be she remembers pilots or some interesting details. I think at that time children and curious people in the western countries too were allowed to visit cockpit sometimes.
Thanks for your info. I truth you!

Hi Maxim thanks for sharing this! Kindest regards!
This Russian achievement was marred by the fact they, like most of everything else then, stole the blueprints from French engineers...
It was marred by the fact that Soviet politicians were in charge. They wanted it rushed, so they could beat the West and score a propaganda victory. "Good engineering be damned, just have it ready by yesterday or it's off to the Gulag for you."

@@georgerobinson760 Realy….have you flown on an Airbus? Nothing but cramped seats and non-existent leg room.
It is strange to hear the author's story about "brutal landings" because of the speed when the landing speed of the Tu-144 (270 km / h) was lower than that of the Concorde (300 km / h). The Tu-144 needed a parachute due to the lack of suitable airfields and for emergency situations.
Also, the author did not mention the reason for the crash of the Tu-144 in 1983 in Paris - this was not the cause of a malfunction, but a forced maneuver due to an unexpected flight interference.
In general, the Tu-144 was simply not needed by the USSR, so its operation was curtailed, and not because it was "backward," as the author says.
So, the USSR has not existed for 30 years, and Western propaganda, denigrating its achievements, is still working. Applause.
I think it's just the bias of the author, as you are also biased. It is now known that plans for the Concorde were stolen to serve as inspiration, so it's not really an "achievement" . Also it is known that during the crash at Paris a spy plane was involved. The author also gives details about TU144 failures but does not mention the Concorde crash to make a fair comparison of safety records. Cold war sucked for everyone.
@@christiangavrila It makes no sense to compare the safety of aircraft that have operated regularly for over a quarter of a century and those that have flown once a week for several years.
Are you a Russian troll or just a communist fanatic? Ok, you can do it!
@@christiangavrila If the author's preconceived opinion and his manipulations (and probably even his lie, which was about the landing speed) with the facts force me to speak out, this does not mean bias on my part. The Soviets have done some serious work in launching their supersonic passenger aircraft. Work on it was only partially carried out jointly with Western colleagues, no one gave the Soviets full documentation and technology for its production. So using the word "retarded" is hypocritical

@@TheMurtukov Tu-144 was rushed, its use was impractical, and as it is mentioned in this video it's development had "help" from the Concord design. The AK-47 was highly based on the German StG 44, and it is easy to visually confuse one for the other. The MiG 15 design was apparently based on a German jet design of the Focke-Wulf Ta 183, which was in development towards the end of the Second World War. Television was developed by a LOT of different people from different countries dating back to the 1870s, owing credit to one-another for its practical use. Russians did not "create television."
I'm not calling Russians "primitive" because that would be ludicrous, but Russia, especially in the Soviet era has made a lot of claims of being "the first" at a lot of different things that have no basis in reality. I'm sure that Americans have done the same in order to bring attention to themselves. The fact of the matter is that "inventions" always borrow from other people's ideas in order to make ideas feasible. People who are generally credited with "inventing" important technologies always owe their inventiveness to lesser-known people who had the ideas of such things long before they were invented.
TU 144 remained in commercial business till 1983 and for research purposes till 1999. It is not as bad it sounds in this video. Infact, NASA chose TU144 over Concord for its Eclipse mission. The engineering and maneuverability was much better of TU144 than the Concord.

NASA Chose the TU144 probably because it was available, all the Concordes were in use. As for the TU144 being Engineered better.. yeah, ok, that's why they had so many mechanical issues and two crashed? - Remember the French Concorde crash wasn't due to any failure on the plane, but a scrap bit of metal dropped of an American DC10. (If memory serves)
The Tu-144 remained in use as a cargo aircraft until 1983, by which point a total of 102 commercial flights had been completed. The aircraft was later used by the Soviet space program to train pilots of the Buran spacecraft, and by NASA for supersonic research.
Really? A supersonic cargo aircraft? No wonder the Soviet Union went broke !!!!
Concorde was occasionally used to ferry extremely time-sensitive or otherwise extremely valuable cargo around. A French Concorde was once used to ferry a rare anti-venom from France to somewhere in Africa for some poor patient who had only hours left to live; amazingly, they survived, and they put part of it down to the time saved by the Concorde.
British Concorde's, equally, were sometimes used to carry transplant organs, diamond shipments and certain forms of currency, with a safe in the back of the plane for this purpose.

Supersonic cargo makes sense though. Overafternoon shipping?

I would really like to know the sources of information where it says that Soviet spies "stole" about 90 thousand documents related to Concord?

My father flew on both (i have only flwon on Concorde and only 3 times) and he was terrified the first time he flew on the Russian one, because of the noise and because some bits were made of wood in the passengers area, like the tablets and harm rest , which seemed really rustic but also really odd for a modern airplane. But one thing was sure, the food was apparently far better on the russian one than on BA or Airfrance and the cabin crew was far nicer too.
You must be a silver-spoon who comes from a wealthy family. What do you mean, "I have only flown in the Concord 3 times", " "ONLY", give us a break. I was a military transport pilot and don't know anybody who personally flew on the Concord. It was more expensive than flying first class on a regular airliner.
There was a documentary on tv here in the UK on what Concorde was like a few years back. The type of people that flew on it was pretty varied. People that flew all the time, occasional and people who saved up and made it part of the holiday. It flew alot, for a long time and with two different companies, someone must have been buying tickets
@@FacelessMan777 there was also a programme that ba did where you could hav a shot on concorde for much less money where they went out to sea, went supersonic then looped back to the same airport to land. It was a very short flight but at a price the average person could afford, so anyone could have a shot on concorde. It was like a little joy ride on a supersonic plane 😊
Morgan Olfursson Stop lying ! Your dad never flew !
@@FacelessMan777 I realized that this sounded super pretentious now. And i really didn't mean it this way. I once was taken to new york and back to London by my boss on concord so i didn't pay for it (that's 2) and i once had my regular flight cancelled on a NYC Paris flight (i had a business class ticket which i had upgraded to a first class, and when the flight was cancelled we were proposed an upgrade on Concorde by Airfrance for an additional 6 000 francs. I had to go back to Paris and the company agreed to cover half of it so i took it. I would have never spent 25 000 francs on a flight !
But yes i did work for a very wealthy company.

So, we flu a lot, but never by TU-144, even though could; my mom would always say, "We will not fly on that casket..."))) Go figure ;)

CHEEKII BREEEKII TO THE STARTS COMRADE
There's a museum in Germany that has both side by side, and in their promotional material they talk about the "Concorde's brother, the Konkordski".
And I kinda love that name.
the drawings Soviet agents stole were early in the development before the Concorde team decided on the complicated conical camber “ogival” wing form, and as you said it was developed Tupolev were more than capable of building it (if you doubt their manufacturing expertise then look at the Tu-160 Blackjack) “ogival” wing form in the initial Concorde drawings
It's even simpler than that, the double delta wing was a robust tried and tested design which works very well on fighter aircraft. They knew very well how inefficient it is, but the goal was just to make big plane fly fast in as little time as possible.
Did I hear you right, that the TU144 has to run in permanent afterburner to fly supersonic? No wonder it had shit gas mileage
it was just shit.
barry bigballs I don’t agree at all. It had problems of course, but so did the concorde. Yes i would prefer fly in a concorde than in the TU-144 but it is still a impressive beautiful piece of engineering.
a_random_TANK_152mm it had problems, that's an understatement. i'll go as far as it was engineered, poorly and in a rush but engineered nonetheless. you obviously don't understand the finer points of getting an passenger airliner to supersonic, funny neither did they.
Tank 152 is Russian fan boy.
@@larrysmith6797 yes why shouldnt he be. They made / make some fab things
should remember that nasa used a tu-144 as a flying laboratory
After they put a small fortune into fixing one up to make it flyable. Was a good plan really, an entire SST with enough space for equipment was impossible to get from anyone else, and the russians were glad for the money and jobs at the time.
Its not like they were going to be able to get hold of a Concorde is it.
Maybe Boeing should license the design from Tupolev DB, for a 2787 :>
Which says a lot about the validity of the TU-144 over Concorde.
my favorite part is the Boeing logo on the side
Legend has it the TU-144 could fly on vodka
Every soviet engine could use vodka instead of more expensive fuel ;-)
Mr. Concordski could fly unless you pour vodka on his engines
lol
+Matthijs vd poel - The TU-144 had all it could do just getting (and staying) airborne on Jet A /JP4 or whatever crap the Russians were producing. The voldka was reserved for the INSIDE of the plane, especially those brave souls tasked with herding it from point 'A' to point 'B'. I mean, the point 'B' that they intended at the start of the flight.
@creekyguy most of these things only made it because the pilots were better than the machine, and hammerd enough to not care enough.
Both planes were amazing. I wish they continue developement on the concord.

Savvy guys!
Well, when you see the results of rushing it... you can tell why the Anglo-French project took its time. Being first isn't worth much if you're only first because what you made kinda sucks.
@@HellbirdIV so you believe its possible to still technology and introduce it first?
@@EricCartmanRussian Yes? Technology isn't a simple process, actual development and production takes time.
In this case, as the video itself explains in no uncertain terms, the Soviets stole a lot of technical data from the Concorde program and rushed the Tu-144 through production to launch it as fast as possible, and managed to get it out a few months before the Concorde.
Problem is that.. well, it was shit. The Concorde worked, it served for over 20 years - the Tu-144 crashed spectacularily on several occasions and was retired after less than 1 year.
Maybe this is some misguided patriotic conspiracy theory you have, but the information on the Tu-144s development is from Soviet archives released after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, so you're basically saying that Russia lied about Russian technology being bad to make Russia look bad.
But hey, if you want to believe that Russia made a *completely unrelated* shit plane that didn't work slightly before the French and British made a nearly identical but good plane that did work... enjoy that, I guess, lol.
Sounds counter intuitive maybe, but is definately possible.
After all, the big ideas are head first. One then takes time to optimize all the 'less' innovative things, while the other, after stealing the major innovation plans, rushes those smaller things.
Which will give you exactly what you see here.
Generally, communism never works. It cant. It is by the sheer character of individuals that in some fields the USSR actually did achieve a lead. Individuals, which is precisely the opposite of what communism entails.
Im equally critical of capitalism by the way. It is similarly flawed. Just in another way.
Need to bring Concorde program back since aviation technology improve so much since.
Some of the tech used in Concorde was so advanced and ahead of it's time that modern airliners are only now catching up.
BUNTRON sorry im not meaning to sound like a dick but whenever theres an airliner that can cross from heathrow to jfk in 3.5 hours, only then can we say they have caught up.

Conceptually TU-144 and Concord are very different, also both engineering teams were visiting each other during the development of both planes. The story of stolen papers is more of a propaganda. The problem of TU-144 were mainly engines, which were quiet rough, not as reliable as RR's and yes to maintain Supersonic they had to have afterburner on all the way (hello fuel efficiency), the last nail into TU-144 coffin - it was too expensive for Soviet economy. But it's a beautiful plane, I wish it was not created in such a rush.

I never flew on Concorde but i did used to live directly under its flightpath to the west of London. It was an amazing thing to see and hear overhead
Wings were different, engines were different, one had canards and the other didn't, top speed were different, approach speeds were different, passenger capacity and accomodation were different, range was different, even the cockpit and many other systems. So why is this a copy?. Like the Soviets hadn't build supersonic bombers before that. This video says in one part "it was a copy" and in other part "it was nothing like the Concorde".
it looks like it thats why
That's because the video was made for views and the video creator has not got much idea about aeronautical engineering.
Because Soviet spies stole the Concorde's plans and made a far worse version of the Concorde.

Tú-144. First ? Yes. Better? Not by a long shot . A dismal
Failure compared to the Concorde.
Hi, I am from Germany, living 2 miles from what ones was the GDR (East Germany), inside the ADIZ (Air Defense Identification Zone), so no uncontrolled civil flights were allowed. However, sometimes twice a day our windows were shaken by sonic booms caused by (what we now know) was the SR-71 on their way from Britain to Turkey, having a look over the "iron curtain". Children were shocked, shift workers could not sleep, sometimes windows broke.
The idea to have this noise everywhere is hilarious. Supersonic travel was not only uneconomic, it was a dead end from day 1. British Airways and Air France did not have to pay for the large developing costs and R +D. This was tax payers money. The clerk, the worker, the cassier in the supermarket had to subsidize the tickets for the rich passengers. Yes, tickets were expensive (10.000$+ for a full prize ticket), however, covering all costs with the number of planes available, ticket prices of 40.000$ would have been required.
Concorde/TU-144 was never a competition for the best transport solution, but a cold war pissing contest.
In aviation, neither capitalism nor communisms rule, but the laws of aerodynamics. That's why in 20 years we will still travel at Mach 0,9.
Thomas Kossatz it's a matter of economics as well. So don't be surprised if airplanes would travel at 0,7 Mach in the future

Как любящий крыло человек, не могу пройти мимо.
Странно слышать про адаптированное крыло для всех режимов.. конкорд переливал топливо в задние баки чтобы приземлиться, смещая тем самым центр тяжести всего самолета назад. Профессионалы поймут, что всё это не просто и не быстро, к тому же при нештатной ситуации ещё и опасно. А значит всё своё топливо на полёт он выработать не мог, иначе не сядет :)
Следовательно, ни о каком многорежимном суперкрыле тут речи идти не может. Это не лучше, это просто по-другому.
И соглашусь с одним из комментаторов. Жаль, что западная пропаганда ещё функционирует в этом направлении.
_______
As a wing-loving person, I cannot pass by.
It's strange to hear about an adapted wing for all flight modes .. Concorde poured fuel into the rear tanks to land, thereby shifting the center of gravity of the entire aircraft back. Professionals will understand that all this is not easy and not fast, moreover, in an emergency, it is also dangerous. So he could not work out all his fuel for the flight, otherwise he would not sit down :)
Consequently, there can be no talk of any multimode superwing here. It’s not better, it’s just different.
And I agree with one of the commentators. It is a pity that Western propaganda is still functioning in this direction.
Все эти патриотические умозаключения разбиваются о цифры и факты. Это не самолёт, а сырой кусок г..., что и доказала его эксплуатация и трагические события - 2 авиакатастрофы. 1 конкорд разбился не от конструктивных дефектов. Так что тут все наоборот, очередная вундервафля советской пропаганды
@@АрбитражныйУправляющий-р2э Учите матчасть. Ту 144 терпел крушения на испытатальных полётах. Такое бывает. Но создали туполевцы надёжнейший самолёт . Конкорд же развалился в воздухе именно благодаря конструктивным недоработкам. Они украли чертежи,но своим скудным умишком подумали-"тупые русские разместили двигатели под фюзеляжем,и от этого шумно в салоне,и мы,цивилизованные европейцы разнесём их на крылия чтобы было комфортнее". При этом не сообразили спросить у "тупых русских" для чего они это сделали. А всё просто-под крыльями двигатели это значит что они под топливными баками. И любая течь топлива уничтожит самолёт. Что в общем и случилось с конкордом. Ту 144 тоже на испытаниях сталкивался с подобной проблемой, но благополучно вернулся на аэродром т.к. топливо не загорелось в силу конструктивных особенностей.
Что имеем? Когда цивилизованные европейцы поняли что натворили,они быстренько списали самолёты и запретили их эксплуатацию т.к. рано или поздно они все потерпят крушение. А тушка и сейчас летает в виде летающей лаборатории. И арендует её боинг. Вопрос-почему боинг выбрал и платит миллионы долларов своему геополитическому противнику-России за ту144 а не за политически правильный конкорд?
