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 was the [[Concorde]].
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 aircraft is unique for its retractable canards, which enable takeoff/landing at speeds not much higher than those of conventional airliners.
The Tu-144 addon for FlightGear has been developed by Michael Danilov since April 2015 and aims to accurately model the latest, long-range, variant of the aircraft (Tu-144D). It can be installed with the [[FlightGear_Qt_launcher|QT launcher]] using this hangar URL: https://gitlab.com/mdanil/Tu-144_hangar/raw/master/catalog.xml
The highlights, as of November 2020, are:
The project was conceived in July 2014 and has been active since April 2015.
* [[DATCOM]] FDM agrees with normal flight perf in the whole range of fuel and payload.
* FCS, engines, systems and most instruments follow the POH.
* visual converted from FSX with due care;
* Normal flight's procedures are fully covered in Checklists window, most of them also work in Tutorials.
* [[DATCOM]] FDM with experimental aeroservoelastics and ground effect;
* Detailed visual, adapted from from Nikita Konstantinov's FSX add-on with slight improvements, almost fully syncs over MP.
* control in agreement with POH;
* Automated crew reduces the simulation-related workload by reading some instruments and doing some landing/RTO actions.
* reasonable autopilot based on the documentation for [[Tu-154B]];
* Both realistic autostart and [[State_Overlay_System|state overlays]] have been implemented, allowing for quick testing and debugging.
