I need a web-site with all this myths/propaganda explained. I am tired to type it again and again. ;)

The fact that both re-entry vehicles look like a railway car with wings and tail doesn't make Buran a copy of American space shuttle. Just as F-15 looks as a MiG-25, and it doesn't make it a copy.

If I was you, Rip, I'd better post a picture of Tu-4 ;) Especially if you work for Boeing, IIRC. But even Tu-4 wasn't an exact copy of Superfortress.

Funked explained it already. What I want to say is that as far as I know Argo was forced to ban me (that doesn't make him a "supporter" of our project in any way) after I got tired of iEN's (Albanian) lies about us and posted a famous letter to Russian Trade Representative in the US there. And at that time AGW wasn't hosted by iEN.

I will not advertise our project here, but I'll answer private mail.

Borda, stay down!

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

All Soviet propoganda lies, son, all lies. We actually put the first man in space, only it was classified. Your Eastern Propoganda won't tell you though. (Howsitfeel?) ;)

RPM, I habe already suggested Rip to mention Tu-4 instead of Buran in this thread :)

And Tu-144 made it's first flight 3 months before Concorde - so it's in my favour ;)

Because the end result was to beat the West at all costs. And as we should be ware making a piece of shiesse takes no time or effort at all.

http://www.super70s.com/Super70s/Tech/Aviation/Aircraft/Tu-144.asp


"It was so loud that it was put into service delivering not passengers, but mail between Moscow and Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan on December 26, 1975. The expensive twice weekly flights were cut back to once a week in June 1976 and cancelled altogether by in December of 1977.
 Aeroflot thought so little of the aircraft that it didn't even mention it in its five year plan for 1976-1980. However, it was not the airline executives decision and Aeroflot reluctantly put the Tu-144 into passenger service on November 1, 1977 on the same Moscow to Alma-Ata route.
 Mechanical problems plagued the new aircraft and prevented the aircraft from maintaining even its modest one flight per week schedule. On May 23, 1978, the first Tu-144D produced experienced a mechanical failure and crash landed killing two engineers. A week later (June 1, 1978), the 102nd and last passenger flight took place. Aeroflot officials had had enough and refused to fly the inefficient and dangerous aircraft."
