V-Bomber
Description:

The RAF's V-bomber force consisted of three high performance strategic bombers, the Valient, Victor and Vulcan forming the United Kingdom's strategic nuclear strike force during the 1950s and 1960s. Under the Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) system, the aircraft could be scrambled in under 2 minutes in response to an attack. This was made possible using a system called "Mass Rapid Startup" which allowed the entire aircraft and all 4 engines to be started with one button. The Vulcan was armed first with the fission weapon Blue Danube, superseded by the thermonuclear Yellow Sun. * Large File *

Tupolev TU-144
Description:

The Tu-144 (Charger) was the world's first supersonic transport aircraft (SST) and remains one of only two SSTs to enter commercial service, the other being Concorde. Publicly unveiled in January 1962 constructed the Soviet Tupolev design bureau. The Tu-144 first broke the sound barrier 05/06/1969, and on 15/07/1969 became the first commercial transport to exceed Mach 2. The Tu-144 was outwardly similar to the Concorde, and allegations were frequently made that Soviet had stolen Concorde technology. The Tu-144 crashed in 1973 at the Paris Air Show, delaying its development. The Tu-144 was later used by the Soviet space program to train pilots, and by NASA for supersonic research. The aircraft proved to be highly unreliable and extremely noisy for passengers in flight. Passengers seated next to each other could have a conversation only with difficulty, and those seated two seats apart could not hear each other even when screaming and had to pass hand-written notes instead. Noise in the back of the aircraft was apparently unbearable. Music: Hyperstory - 'Ascension'.
