I've seen, it's just gorgeous.

But the Tu144 bore no relation to the XB70. If anything it was a
knock-off of Concorde.



Drop nose, forward canard, low delta wing - yeah, right. They don't look

So the xb70 was a copy of concorde ?
Sorry, I don't think they are at all alike, whereas the tu144 and concorde were very similar
(in appearance, that is).
