The TU 144 was a supersonic commercial aeroplane made by the Soviet Union. This was the very first supersonic commercial airliner in the world. Sadly this model does not feature landing gear; I tried but it didn’t work... if u have any suggestions comment down below. Never the less this model took me ages to build and I hope you enjoy!

Controls:
AG1 + VTOL down = Droop nose
AG2 + VTOL= Canards

Spotlights

    @LeTroll You are right,also they configurations.Concorde ise Delta wing with complew leading edge curves while Tu-144 use double delta wing and canard.
    I mean...no one will said that 2707 'copy' the concept of Concorde right?So why you guys keep attacking Tu-144?

    No it wasn’t exactly “stolen” it was influenced by Concorde. Since the British-French started earlier the Soviets spcould get their hands on Concorde plans, howver it wasn’t very helpful to them cuz the east and west used different measurements. So basically they only had some basic shapes to work off of. So yeah it’s not a “copy”.@Shootingstar07

    I don't agree that the Tu-144 copy the Concorde.They look similiar,and that's it.The design is totally different.

    IK the TU 144 was a copy. It was basically a propagandise machine from the USSR to prove that they could build a supersonic airliner too, however it still was the first. TU 144 had its first flight in 31 Dec. 1968, while Concorde flew on ththe 2nd March 1969. @GeneralOliverVonBismarck

    @GeneralOliverVonBismarck If memory serves, the 144 entered service before Concorde. Doesn't mean that elements weren't shared, what I'm getting at is that the Tu 144 wasn't actually a complete copy.

    IK it doesn’t have landing gear and IK it epaffects the droop nose. I tried making landing gear but it wouldn’t work, I used XML, pistons, hinge rotators, u name it. If you’ve got any ideas feel free to say. @hellgaming

    it doesnt have a landing gear which makes the droop nose pretty much useless
