[FWD] Trip to St. Petersburg

Hello Andrey! Trip to St. Petersburg": AK>> It may be worth making a fuss about Concorde. How much AF> It wouldn't be worth it! They ripped off our car so crookedly that AF> it’s no wonder that it’s unreliable. AK>> I heard from these media AK>> there are only 11 aircraft. AF> Were our people counted there? (Unfortunately, I don’t remember which one, AF> either 114 or 104 TU is the original of this "Concorde") 114 - turboprop. 104 - modification of the Tu-16 bomber But the 144th is a truly structurally similar device. But Concord is not with him licked, but parallel development. The similarity of shapes and nodes was based on the concept supersonic passenger aircraft, the level of technology at that time. Born the most efficient aerodynamic shape. Why not say that the scheme was ripped off from Lippisch (it was he who developed diagrams without a rear horizontal tail with a wing close to delta-shaped)? I wish you good luck! Andrew.
