Tu-144 landing

WOW..what is the landing speed of this bird? 200 knots ???!!!!

It's obviously very heavy, the instant he cut the power it just dropped down. Nice vid.

Reverse-engineered? - Certainly not.. If you consider that this plane was around before concord.. Although concorde was of course more succesful and beautiful.. - it remains a shame she took all of the credits..

just a little bouncy

Looks like an MiG-29 too Me, look at the smoke! lol

Looks like a very heavy & hard plne to fly ,as if test pilots can land it with jerks in different intervals then that means it seems that it is very difficult to control.............Was that fighter Su-30?????

Russian pilots, russian landing ! Good work tovaritch. If a civilian white bird can fly, it's a nice thing :``(.

Wow, the pilot must've been under the influence of.... maybe that fighter that escorted him down, gave him the jitters. Either way, cool plane. At least, cool for a reverse-engineered Concorde.

looks like a jumping bird. Bad landing, but the plan... like it

They made this Tu-144 airworthy saving it from destruction,but Russian goverment decided that will not sell any grounded plane(military engines wasnt never even considered to be sold) And maintaince price was too high so this giant isnt flying anymore

The landing aircraft was the Tu-144LL Flying Laboratory operated by a consortium of NASA, Boeing, Rockwell & McDonnell Douglas from 1996 to 1998. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/history/pastprojects/TU-144/index.html

...forgot to put something. I love the plane though!!! :)

HOLY CRAP, That landing was bad!
