Tu-444 - the canceled project of the Russian supersonic passenger business aircraft aviation development of Tupolev OJSC. He replaced the Tu-344 project and a competitor to the Sukhoi SSBJ design bureau.

The design of the Tu-444 began at the beginning of the 2000-ies, in 2004, the draft design work began. The development was preceded by a miscalculation of the most favorable technical characteristics for an aircraft of this class. So, it was found that the distance in 7500 kilometers is enough to cover the main business centers of the world, and the optimum is the length of the run in 1800 meters. The potential market was estimated at 400-700 aircraft, the first flight was scheduled to take place at 2015.

    Yes, and not a great loss, an airborne truck for those in power, their children and oligarchs! Yes In principle, an absolutely meaningless airplane from the point of view of an ordinary passenger! request

      "Chartovozka" still buy, but only imported. And for the average passenger, the benefit is that the engineer who made the mass plane will be a little more experienced.

      How many stupid write reviews? This is primarily the prestige of the country and the earnings of our factories. Campaign "dry" strangles all aircraft manufacturers in Russia.

    And you could also sell such planes over the hill - sheikhs and shahs with maharajs would buy, and our designers and hard workers received salaries, and the design bureau lived with money for more projects that the country needed hi

    I am sure that the plane, if it were built, would occupy its niche.
