Original Note:
The only russian attempt at supersonic passenger aircraft, the Tupolev Tu-144 was only in service for seven months due to major design flaws, high unreliability, excessive fuel consumption and low range. It had two deadly crashes including one at the 1973 Paris air show. https://simpleflying.com/russias-concorde-why-the-tu-144-failed/ https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/tu-144-russia%E2%80%99s-answer-concorde-was-catastrophic-failure-198969
