In Soviet Russia, plane stronk made of Stalinium, Dah!

I bet this Toupalev could still be restored to flying condition.

@@FinalLugiaGuardian Probably, but whoever did that would need very deep pockets indeed.

@@FinalLugiaGuardian let's be honest, it was barely ever in flying condition to begin with!😜

@@JakeOchs Don't laugh. The Soviets were evil geniuses.

If only you know how difficult it is for a Russian to get an EU visa. No one tries to distinguish humanitarians from criminals. So so sad.

Sinsheim is fantastic, reccomended for all. They also have Concordes engine and landing gear on display inside the museum. And ofc lots of other aircraft and land/sea curiosities, civil and wartime, like hitlers car.

its great.only thing i dont like is they made it better to look at from the outside than from the inside.The planes are set up at such angles that you feel like mountain climbing while you are walking inside tha plane.

Thanks so much for the tip. I'll definitely do that the next time I'm in Germany.

Leon Sippel yeah but thoes ones are turned into museums and on a 37 degree angle

@@theoonyoutube It's a former Air France Machine. We contributed nothing, but I guess the museum/it's owner made good deal. It's the only location worldwide where both supersonic airlines can be seen next to each other.

@@theoonyoutube That's not true, really not true at all. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_K%C3%BCchemann, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna_Weber

@@theoonyoutube Why should a museum in a country that was not involved in building the aircraft not be allowed to display such an aircraft? They show technical masterpieces from around the world, without claiming they're German-made. Their second location in Speyer has a Boing 747 on display and a Buran space ship. So what?

@@theoonyoutube Why does the US have Concorde? They contributed nothing.

@@theoonyoutube Why does Germany have a Tu144? They contributed nothing.

Họ dang phục hồi chiếc máy bay huyền thoại này, và chắc chắn nó lại tung cánh trên bầu trời và nó vẫn là chiếc máy bay xinh đẹp và manh mẽ nhất trên thế giới!

You mean the plane with 150 flights and 200 reported maintenance issues?

​@@gelatinous6915 That doesn't matter to him, he just likes the plane even with the issues

Interesting

NASA actually used a TU-144 for testing in the 90s!

Ryanair is an airline for cheapskate cunts who hate everybody including themselves.

andrew curran I disagree. they offer flights to great places for very affordable prices, and have created tourism where there wasn't before. Many places have become popular simply because Ryanair flies there. Your comment is very uninformed.

@@michalnowacki9252 true Preach 👏👏👏

@@PORRRIDGE_GUN and you're probably a spoiled ungrateful little smelly bastard

@@80sfreak14 Like a lot of Ryanair cattle. Wankers who pay £5 for a flight complaining because they have to wait an hour for their bags. That's why your shitty flight cost £5.

Nothing better than feeling the slight breeze of mach 2 on your face while breathing the crisp air of 20km altitude

:-D

N3oo1 They’re Russians they’re used to it.

@@riccardoscavo8485 The first smoking ban on a plane was on Hitlers airforce one.

@@patricksputnick5094 Fascinating one learns something new every day. Thank you

@Redlock Agreed, I would be nice to see a wealthy patron to offer inside facilities for these valuable pieces of aviation history.

I agree, particularly with technological leaps of civil aviation like the Tu144, but there is something correct about seeing weapons of war rotting away.

@andrew curran Not matter how hard one tries history cannot be erased.

Keep in kind that making large buildings Russia is twice as hard as in Europe or the US due to the weight of snow & ice and also due to freeze thaw issues with the ground. This is part of the reason that most Soviet & Russian aircraft were stored outside even when new....

Very informative.Now iam eagerly waiting to visit the museum some day.

@Fraser Henderson Indeed, such a "can do" attitude by people back then, they were willing to take big risks and suffer or reap the rewards. Sad that we have gone soft today.

Very,it looks like some bird of prey.With those canards extended it looks kinda like a futuristic cocker spaniel.Soviets made the coolest looking planes.

@Uncle Joe Stalin You're right,they always will.

lucius1976 It is a great museum

setsunatellem There’s a video of a guy tearing down and operating a system just like this from a Tornado. Super interesting. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6uBpMmpzq3LlGw.html

There was a lot of can do building this aircraft. The Russians did not steal a complete set of Concorde engineering drawings, material specifications and data.

@@larrysmith6797 The Soviets did obtain design information on the Concorde, but the TU-144 is not based on it....

The same dream for Russian people to visit Iguasu! Welcome)

Thomas Cooley - They wouldn’t DARE do that in Russia, think of the punishment!

@@AtheistOrphan I guess it has to do with the society. Russians, or most ex Soviets are proud of their past and tried to preserve it. No matter if they are slavs, asians or turkic or no matter what policital opinion they have. While in the US, most people don't think about such things.

The Prototurk - True.

@@Tengri30 they are also more respectful in general. Both towards people and things and items and such.

@@Tengri30 Russians, or most ex Soviets are proud of their past and tried to preserve it Unfortunately, quite the opposite is true. Even this unique plane was abandoned since the beginning of 1980s and was mostly cannibalized in 1990s, and only volunteers could save it. Yes, the number of volunteers is growing but there's still too few of them and the government does close to nothing to prevent Russian historic legacy from decaying. Buran shuttles, old churches in rural regions, thousands of buildings of XIX century are being scrapped, torn down or just decay in rot, just take for example the destruction of two Tupolev-114 monuments (there were only 31 planes of this type ever produced).

I also saw the Concord in Seattle, unfortunately all the seats were encased in a big plastic sarcophagus, making the experience with the plane a bit less persona. l
