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 allows the elevons to function as flaperons, bringing the takeoff/landing speeds closer to conventional airliners and allowing to use the same airports. It was one of the last commercial aircraft with a braking parachute, due to difficulties in thrust reverser development. | 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]].

The '''Tu-144D''' addon for FlightGear | The '''Tu-144D''' addon for FlightGear aims to accurately model the latest long-range variant, 1981 Tu-144D model 09, as of the last built aircraft № 09-1 (reg. 77115) from 1984. It can be installed with the [[FlightGear_Qt_launcher|QT launcher]] hangar URL: {{gitlab source |user=femboywings-fgfs |repo=hangar | branch=main |view=raw |path=catalog.xml |full=1}}. | ||
