TUPOLEV
TU-144 

Visually similar but slightly larger than its European rival
the Concorde , the Tupolev TU-144 first flew in 1968, two
months before the Concorde. Despite the differences, the
aircraft never lived down the suspicions of espionage.

A well-know crash of a prototype at the 1973 Paris Air show
was a severe set back to the program. The aircraft entered
service in 1977, two years after Concorde, but this aircraft
had significant differences from the original prototypes. 

Commercial service only lasted a few months as there was
no real market in Russia. The 16 aircraft eventually built
remained only as oddities or research aircraft.
