Tupolev TU-144, sky with clouds, Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim, Germany. The world's first supersonic commercial aircraft. Flew for the first time in 1968. Last flight in 1978. The aircraft, which bore a strong resemblance to the Concorde that operated from 1969 to 2003, was jokingly called the Concordski.
Significant difference, in terms of appearance, between the 2 aircraft are the 2 wings on the left and right just behind the cockpit on the TU-144.
Supersonic commercial aircraft do not exist at the moment, because too expensive. However, being able to travel at a speed of Mach 2 is an imaginative thing.
This particular aircraft is obviously not flying during the making of this composition. But I deliberately made the composition in such a way that it is possible to fantasize about it. Do you fantasize with me?
