Tupolev aircraft
Tupolev is the Russian aircraft maker behind the Tu-144, the supersonic airliner that flew first on December 31, 1968, and carried Aeroflot passengers on a single route from November 1977 to mid-1978. NASA calls the company Tupolev ANTK. It later rebuilt one Tu-144 as the Tu-144LL, a research aircraft flown at its Zhukovsky facility near Moscow in a joint program with NASA. This site lists the Tu-144S as a retired type.
