The Soviets?


Thats more funny than you think...

Because if I recall correctly....they outright stole design info on the
Concorde....and the French/Brits let them do it and put a few "flaws" in there
to boot...

After a few test flights, the Russian "me too SST" broke up in flight...

Thats IIRC and am not confusing this with something else...

Not to say the Russians cant be damn good engineers.....its just that this was
not one of their finer moments....

take care
