Certain aspects of the T-4 make an interesting aerodynamic comparison to the Tu-144.

That’s a good point flanker. Never really thought of how much stuff could be written in Russian.

Wow. Thats some impressive footage. Too bad there’s not too much info. on the web about the T-4 though. It seems like every site says more or less the same thing.
There’s plenty of info – it just needs translating !!! 🙁

I just found this bit on Wikipedia:
“The T-4 is also believed to be the “aircraft 101″ that set a 2000 km circuit speed record of mach 1.89. This would seem to indicate that it couldn’t cruise at its designed speed of almost Mach 3 and could be a reason the program was canceled.”
and this from http://www.aviation.ru/Su/
“3 built; 1 preserved in Monino; 2 destroyed.”

Yes, it would have. It wasn’t flown nowhere near through it’s entire envelope.
