TU-144 LOUD Takeoff Ту-144

Hi Airliner Fans! DemonDriver AKA Chris here, I wanted to share a SUPER-LOUD TU-144 Takeoff followed by a Mig-29 Chase Plane!
This is a educational editorial video I've made for everyone who Love Passenger aviation all over the world.

You can see here the famous/infamous yelloish/orange smoke of the so-called partial afterburner of the NK-32 engines. The NK-32 engine of the Tu-160 bombers has three different afterburner regimes. This one on this footage was the secondary one. There was no chance to use the third, or full afterburner on the Tu-144LL, where no smoke generated at all, because of the inlet cross section of the 144. The inlet was designed for the Tu-144S airplanes, which used the NK-144F, afterburner turbofan engines. It has less airflow, than the later NK-32 had. These engines were not so efficient and regarding to the bypass ratio of the turbofan design, the airplane immediatelly deccelerated down to Mach 1.6, when the AB switched off. However, with the AB, the range was so small. Thats why the Tu-144D was developed. D - Dorabotaniy: re-designed stands for the basic difference, the engine itself. The engine of the Tu-144D was the Kolesov RD-36-51A, without any afterburner! It also could reach the Mach 2.1, but with a much larger flight range. However, even if the last portion of the 16 ever built Tu-144 was a D model, no any D was involved in the commercial flights. The certificate was already done, when one Tu-144D was crashed because of the turbine disk explosion of the unique RD-36-51A engine. The soviets immediatelly cancelled all Tu-144S and D flights. The funny thing is, that the Tu-144LL No. 77-114 and the 77-115 planes just finished after the cancellation! The 77-114 was involved in the Ozon layer research program in the early 80’s and the Buran program in the mid-80’s with the original engines. The mid 90’s Tu-144LL program required a more reliable and right on time available engines, so the russians took the NK-32 from the Tu-160 program, under the project re-name NK-32-1, or NK-321. This minor difference was just a re-tuning according to the smaller cross section of the Tu-144D engine intakes and the higher altitude and continous speed regimes. The NK-32/321 and the former NK-144F are two completely different animals. Different sizes, dimensions, stage configuration, number of shafts, nozzle profiles, afterburner stages, pressure ratio, airflow, thrust level and so on. The one and only easy thing in the installation of the NK-32 into the engine nacelles of the RD-36-51A, was the quite similar mounting dimensions. That’s why they could easily put back the old engines, when the program finished in 1999. The original engines went back into the 77-114 in 2003.

Es ist toll, dass es jemandem gelungen ist, dieses Flugzeug und seinen Start zu filmen.

This is a "TU-144 Flying Laboratory" with non-original engines of TU-160 bomber.
Therefore it is such noisy.

A wonderful aircraft .. :) Thank you TUPOLEV for this ship ... !

Just like the Concorde, the TU-144 is a beast. The NK-32 turbojets were very powerful like the Rolls Royce Olympus engines on the Concorde. This airplane might've not have had as much success as the Concorde because of operational issues, but on take-off, it is just as impressive.

Это было круто)а звук то какой)спасибо.у нас в пригороде такой стоит.по истине огромный самолет.Хвост высотой до 7 го этажа

[ЕвгенийПивоваров-ьэ]

Какая красота, мощь и полёт конструкторской мысли!

[robbert]

Big thunder! a rocket is being launched!😲 "What a frightening and fascinating plane."😎💪

[mk-hcpj]

this is the best plane ive ever seen the take off sound is loud but majestic

[WarhammerWings]

Bloody hell! 0.0 Rattled my head! Absolutely nailed it!

[Froggy]

The Tu-144 is just a freaking Russian masterpiece. They look so mean and just like any eastern block countries aircraft oh god I’m in love

[CMan-vcdh]

I saw the model of the Tu-144, 50 years ago this month, July, at EXPO 67 in Montreal. Would like to know where the model is, if it still exists. To see a real Tu-144 would be on my bucket list.

Those afterburners are giving me a Plus they had to run them through the duration of the flight just to stay supersonic, while Concorde's afterburners were simply switched off once Mach 2 was reached.

[richardschindler]

Ahhh. Smoke and noise, the way it’s supposed to be. LOl. This is coming to you from a retired corporate pilot that flew G-II’s as well as BAC 1-11’s. Both known for being smoke free and quiet. Again LOL.

But loved the video

The Tu-144 here has NASA markings. In the 1990's, we got to borrow one for research. It had been neglected but, was still flyable. NASA fixed it all up, gave it a few upgrades, and a fresh paint job. We returned it to Russia in better condition than we borrowed it.

This Tupolev TU 144 looks like a bird.... Rare and impressive; I don't know if it was better than the Concorde, but I think it was a little more powerful, but the overall quality was better on the European SST. TU 144 had greater fuel consumption, was noisy and had several problems. Due to the greater fuel demand, it had less autonomy so, it was not profitable for as a passenger commercial aircraft, but for some reason NASA choose it instead of Concorde .

Son extraordinaire. Merci pour la vidéo.. 👍👍👌

[marcusianaviation]

You've got to be kidding me, AMAZING!

[chamyefadel]

Le TU 144 transformé au TU 160 ... Beau !

[blackleaguemapping]

Love how it eclipses the mig taking off next to it
