The list of records of the Tu-144 contains the three world records that were set in 1983 with the Tupolev Tu-144 .

Record aircraft

The Tu-144D prototype №08-2 with the registration number 77114, which was flown for the first time on April 13, 1981, was used for the record flights. It was designated "Airplane 101" for FAI filing . The FAI officials were unable to correctly identify the type of record-breaking aircraft and assumed that aircraft 101 was the Tu-160 . However, due to the change in FAI rules, all records are outdated.

The №08-2 flew a total of 82 hours and 40 minutes from 1981 to 1990 and, after upgrading from November 29, 1996 to April 14, 1999, carried out a further 27 test flights under the designation Tu-144LL, during the first test phase with Kolessow- RD-36-51А engines, while the second with Kuznetsov NK-32 -1. After that, it stood without engines in the LII in Ramenskoje ( Schukowski ).

All records of this Tu-144, which never transported passengers, are held.

In fact, the 1000 and 2000 km circuits also included speed records with 15,000 and 25,000 kg payloads. These records were not set by the Soviet Union in the FAI protocol, however, as it was decided to set these four "records" at a lower speed with the Tu-160. The Tu-160 reached these "records" on October 31, 1989 at a lower speed of 1731.40 km / h and 1678 km / h, respectively.
