Tupolev Tu-444
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tupolev Tu-444 is a concept for a supersonic business jet from the Russian firm Tupolev. While the market for large supersonic airliners is weak, several firms, including Cessna, are working on supersonic business jets. Tupolev gained much experience working with supersonic transports by working on the Tu-144 'Charger'; certain design features, most notably the flight deck section, at least appear to be visually similar to that used on the Tu-144.
