What is the same as the Concorde?
almost the same the tu 144 nickname the konkordeski
What is the name for the Russian version of the supersonic jet airliner the Concorde?
Tu-144
Did the tu 144 make Concorde more unsuccessful?
in a way yes, Concorde got lots of countries around the world to get Concorde but after the tu (also delta wing M2) crashed at the french air show everyone was put off from buying Concorde. Concorde was then forced to sell to its country's biggest airliners.
What could the Concorde fly faster than the speed of?
The Concorde flew faster than the speed of sound, the only commercial airliner (other than the Soviet Tu-144) that could. The Concorde's cruising speed was 2170 kilometres per hour (1,350 mph), which is Mach 2.04 at a cruising altitude of 56000 feet.
What was the Russian equivalent to the Concorde?
Tu-144 or as NATO called it Charger. The USSR built the Tupolev Tu-144 and the first one flew on 12/31/1968 which was 2 months before the Concorde flew. It went into passenger service in 1975. Only 16 airworthy planes were built, and production ceased in 1984.
Was Concorde the only commercial plane that could go faster than the speed of sound?
No, the Tupolev Tu-144 was the only other commercial plane to date to fly faster then the speed of sound.
What plane travels faster than sound?
Supersonic planes travel faster than sound. There are a lot of them. Most modern fighter jets can do it, and there have even been commercial planes that could (eg Concorde, Tu-144).
Fastest passenger plane?
The largest passenger aircraft is Airbus 380.
What was Concorde?
The concord is the fastest passenger aircraft in the world and it was British.
What was the first supersonic passenger flight?
The Tupolev Tu-144 holds the title for the first supersonic passenger flight, ahead of the Concorde. However, the Tu-144 also holds the dubious distinction of being the first to end supersonic passenger service, lasting only 55 flights.
Which was the first supersonic airliner?
The Tupolev Tu-144 (NATO reporting name: Charger) was the first supersonic transport aircraft (SST), constructed under the direction of the Soviet Tupolev design bureau headed by Alexei Tupolev. Some western observers nicknamed the plane Concordski (sometimes Konkordski), as the Tu-144 was very similar to Concorde. A prototype first flew on 31 December 1968 near Moscow, two months before Concorde. The Tu-144 first broke the sound barrier on 5 June 1969, and on 15 July 1969 it became the first commercial transport to exceed Mach 2, and the fastest commercial airliner ever.
When was the first super sonic passenger flight?
Many people think that Concorde was the first plane to make the first supersonic passenger flight, but the Russian TU-144 (NATO Reporting: Charger) was the first to fly passengers above mach 2 on July 15th, 1969...hope that helps (Check this link and read third paragraph: http://www.aviationtrivia.info/Tupolev-Tu-144-SST.php)
