The Tupolev Tu-244 was a proposed supersonic transport (SST) aircraft, developed from the Tu-144.

It implemented novel features such as cryogenic fuel to enable flight distances of up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi) and would have carried up to 300 passengers.

The draft work began in 1979, and when the project ended in 1993 substantial progress had already been made during the interpretation.

Rather than using a tilting nose, video cameras were to provide the crew with the necessary view for landings.
