The '''Tupolev Tu-144''' (NATO: Charger) supersonic transport (SST) was the first of the two supersonic passenger [[:Category:Airliners|airliners]] to fly, the other one being the [[Concorde]]. Tu-144's unique retractable canard brings its takeoff/landing speeds close to those of conventional airliners, allowing to use the same airports. | The '''Tupolev Tu-144''' (NATO: Charger) supersonic transport (SST) was the first of the two supersonic passenger [[:Category:Airliners|airliners]] to fly, the other one being the [[Concorde]].
