Supersonic Non-Sense.
Hardbound Book.
Tupolev Tu-144
Davies. The dream of a successful supersonic airliner
has captivated interest for years. But as yet, only a few Concordes and a couple
of Tupolev Tu-144s have gone into service, on a very few routes, and none were
ever sold. This book explodes the myth of large market demand for such aircraft.
The analysis draws upon known facts, applies simple arithmetic, and makes
assumptions that are based on technical, operational, and commercial common
sense. 192 pgs., 6"x 9", hdbd.
