[edit] names

Folks, the T-4 had the alias "100" (or "aircraft 100"), but never "Su-100" or "Project 100". I can grep the book by Oleg Samoilovich, former master of aerodynamics of OKB-51 for refs. --jno 15:01, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paris Air Show Disaster

Wasn't one of these involved in a noteable collision at the paris air show or some such? Wouldn't this be relevant? (assuming of course it hasn't just popped out of my already overactive imagination) Stui 06:59, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Oooops I'm thinking of the Tu-144 - My apologies Stui 12:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Explain This

I am reading the intro of the article: Despite design similarities the Sukhoi T-4 was not intended as a Soviet equivalent of the North American XB-70 Valkyrie supersonic bomber, but was rather intended to take advantage of many of the XB-70's aeronautic innovations to develop a smaller reconnaissance and interceptor aircraft capable of reaching Mach 3. In this respect the T-4 is more closely a Soviet attempt to develop an aircraft comparable to the North American XB-70. Can someone explain the point of these statements to me, as their meaning seems to elude me. If the T-4 was not meant to be "equivalent" to the XP-70 but merely "comparable" then the differences betweens "equivalents" and "comparables' needs to be clarified, as it is not really easy to extract any meaning from it as it now stands.

I feel your pain. the statement doesn't make any sense. I believe it should say, the T-4 is more closely a Soviet attempt to develop an aircraft comparable to the North American Rapier

It may be the same difference that has the

US "invent" and "innovate" when they copy

and

all others "steal" when they invent something.
