Re: Road considered for the tupolev 144 outside of russia and japan?

Aeroflot didn't used all of them too, the one from sinsheim doesn't seem to have been used by them, yet it still had the livery. There were negociation to allow it to fly over europe but considering the rules that were put in place (and flying over the US would be a big no for all SST's).

Road considered for the tupolev 144 outside of russia and japan?

Hello, I know negociation were taking place to allow the tu 144 to fly over europe but I'm not sure wich road were considered during the negociation.
Thanks for your answers!

Re: The BA World Images that never were...

On the BA union flag for concorde, do we have concept of it or not? I wonder how hard some of them could be done using mask tape

Re: if the tupolev 144 was exported, would it be sold only to the warsaw pact airlines or not?

There were ideas to fly it to japan/over europe, but it seems it relied to the plane being improved and from "concorde-Histoire d'un mythe", the negociation to allow concorde flying over the ussr started in 1974 and the russian asked about their plane being allowed to fly there too.

Re: if the tupolev 144 was exported, would it be sold only to the warsaw pact airlines or not?

I know, I think if I do a what if tu 144S, it'll be as a joint operation with another airline like JAL. I'm guessing this would necessitate the autorization of the concorde and boeing SST to fly over the ussr since JAL had option for both.

Re: if the tupolev 144 was exported, would it be sold only to the warsaw pact airlines or not?

The difference of tech is I think one of the arguments against the idea the tu 144is a concorde plagiat, the wing shape is quite different too and they had to redesign it(also seing them side by side helped showing how different they are). I wonder if they wouldn't start a service with jal and they ...

Re: if the tupolev 144 was exported, would it be sold only to the warsaw pact airlines or not?

Do we know when the IL 62' stopped carying the JAL/KLM logo?

Re: if the tupolev 144 was exported, would it be sold only to the warsaw pact airlines or not?

ok, so it's a might or might not for the livery depending of how strong the cooperation is.

Re: if the tupolev 144 was exported, would it be sold only to the warsaw pact airlines or not?

What's the OEM? So if tupolev could get the autorization to fly tu 144 to japan, they'd have a hybrid livery (with the possibility of using both variants to go to japan?). Btw, I went inside a tu 144 at sinsheim, it was a good visit and interesting to spot the differences between it and concorde.

Re: if the tupolev 144 was exported, would it be sold only to the warsaw pact airlines or not?

I know there were projects/idea of roads outisde the USSR for him such as japan but I'm not sure wich airlines outside aeroflot were thought to be potential customers by tupolev

Re: if the tupolev 144 was exported, would it be sold only to the warsaw pact airlines or not?

so only aeroflot would get them, I wonder how much tupolev expected to sell, surely less than a 100.

Re: rear crew rest compartment option on the A380

It seem they based it on a farnborough model, not sur if I can post the pics here since it's alamy.

Re: rear crew rest compartment option on the A380

It was proposed as an option but I don't have any concept for the upper deck one

rear crew rest compartment option on the A380

Hello, I know there was one, revell decided to put one on their A380 cutaway and I've seen drawing showing it as an option, I wonder if airbus ever released concept of it because so far, I haven't found anything and don't know what revell used to do their. The revell cutaway kit boxart showing the c...

Re: does the tupolev 144 really count as a concorde copy?

Tupolev was interested by concorde, but at the same time is it really plagiarism if the final product is quite different ? The wing design being modified on the tupolev shows they were different.

Re: civilian aircraft what if

The result of my visit at sinsheim, managed to get in both concorde and tu 144 without fearing high but I was still cautious because they're both inclined.. The concorde will be based on a british airways travel agent model in the landor livery a bit different from the real one since the BA name is ...

does the tupolev 144 really count as a concorde copy?

Hello, while tupolev showed interest in the concorde and both look vaguely similar, when I looked the details of both planes at sinsheim yesterday, they were quite different, the interior design was different between the 2, as well as the wing shape (I think the fact the wing had to be modified beca...

on trip report and bias

Hello, I'll be honest, whenever I see a reviewer saying they want to make their reviews unbiased(or as unbiased as possible), I think it's impossible since, no matter if their review aren't sponsored by the airlines, it'll still be biased, their report being influenced by their own taste, standard, ...

Re: Lufthansa lost its 5 star rating

I agree with sam chui when he say the skytracks (and the other) ratings are subjective, I wonder why they had 5 stars while equivalent airlines sometimes didn't.

Re: civilian aircraft what if

The progress I did on the concorde this week.While the airbrush worked well on one side, the other, it spitted and I had to clean it. Tried it again on the underside and it worked this time. I did the other side well today and I'm going to go for another layer on the underside https://i.servimg.com/...

Where did revell got their pan am livery for their boeing 2707 100?

Hello, I'm asking because when I look for period artwork or pan am desktop models from the time, I often see variation between the liveries, the flag will be in different position or no "pan am" on the wing and I haven't found yet a artwork who correspond to the revell livery (For mine, my...

Re: civilian aircraft what if

It's been a while but I'm getting back at my airliners and my airbrush (ha a broken part that neded to be replaced not so long ago, now it work). I decided to re-do the primer layer of my A320 neo from revell because I had to re fill the join and get them better and I didn't do the first layer well ...

Gulf traveller fleet expansion if more succesful?

Hello, while looking for a revell boeing 767 300 ER with this livery, I looked for information on the airline and it ran from 2003 to 2007 and operated 6 767 300. If the airline was more succesful and added more destination than the one they planed in the UK, would they get more planes? If yes, what...

if the tupolev 144 was exported, would it be sold only to the warsaw pact airlines or not?

Hello, by curiosity, if the Tu 144 was more successful and the ussr decided to export it, would they allow it to be sold to the western airlines or only to the warsaw pact one?
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my absence, I know it's been a while.
