Notes

After factory tests and special tests in 1977 was submitted as complex subject for joint government testing.

These tests determined that with a take-off weight of 195 tons and payload equal to 15 tons a range of 3,080 km could be reached, this distance was increasing until 3,600 km with a payload of 7 tons.

It was highlighted that the range of 4,000-4,500 km at payload of 14-15 tons could not be realized on Tu-144S with NK-144A engines and it was noted that such range could be reached with RD-36-51A engines.

After her last flight, CCCP-77107 was transported by road to the Aviation Institute and parked in the backyard for almost 32 years until in May 2017 was moved to her current place in the centre of the city, in the campus of the Kazan National Research Technical University.
