michael Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The Tupolev Tu-144! It's a weird-ass plane... The Ruskies stole it just like they did The H-Bomb and Velcro. I've never modeled something as complex as this...but I'll keep going as long as stu keeps modeling his "F/A 18C Hornet fighter jet" or whatever he's calling it. I've found some pretty good plans, one set is really huge and busted up so I'll have to clean them, stitch them together then get them into Houdini. Here's a cool one... here are some of the specs: # Length: 65.50 m (215.54 ft) # Wingspan: 28.80 m (94.48 ft) # Height: 10.50 m (34.42 ft) # Wing area: 438.0 m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEO-oo- Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I digged a bit in my bookmarks: the-blueprints.com BTW: You see the 2 positions of the nose for start/landing and flight-mode in this blueprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 thanks LEO-oo-...I had that one but in a much lower res... @marc - you'll notice how much bigger the Tu-144 is in comparison to the F/a 18c Hornet...and how much faster it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 good luck with it, its a sleek looking aeroplane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 @marc - you'll notice how much bigger the Tu-144 is in comparison to the F/a 18c Hornet...and how much faster it is Pfft. The Tu-144 doesn't have a beyond visibility range of engagement, or have a thrust to weight ratio greater than 1:1 - what's the point? Actually, until you mentioned it, I've never even seen that aircraft before - should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADjestic Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 It was a soviet hovercraft (aka 'soviet answer to Concord') so maybe googling with google.ru can give extra results google.ru cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
