Japanese Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) has received a first mock-up of a domestic supersonic trainer aircraft to replace both the Lockheed T-33 and North American F-86F in its pilot training curriculum.

Tu-144 Heading for 1972 Service Start
Seattle-Soviet Union is proceeding with development of its Tupolev Tu-144 supersonic transport at a measured pace that could put the aircraft into internal commercial service in 1972.

The move follows current talks between the ailing company (AW&ST Aug. 18, p. 17) and U.S. financial interests, including Craven Corp. of St. Louis and International Jetstream Corp., a subsidiary which has U.S. rights for sales of the Handley Page Jetstream turboprop executive and feederliner transport.2627Air Transport
Russia Pushing Tu-144 Into World Market
Unveiling of the Soviet Tu-144 to a U.S. airline group raised as many questions as it answered, but it did set a precedent for future air transport technical exchanges. It also established some simple certainties: The Tu-144 is a supersonic transport in being.
