Russia has announced a long-term project for the SGS-T3 supersonic civil aircraft, which aims to revive the supersonic sector of Russian civil aviation.
The program's origins date back to the creation of the Tu-144 airliner and its experimental version, the Tu-144LL, which reached flight speeds of 2443 and 2500 km/h, respectively, in the 1970s.
The prospective aircraft project envisions a similar operational speed range (2 - 2.1M), characteristic of the Tu-144 and Concorde, while the flight reliability of the power plant units and airframes should increase significantly, as should the accuracy of the inertial navigation system and ram air pressure sensors.
It is known that the inertial navigation system, flight controllers, and the entire flight and navigation complex of the new aircraft will be synchronized with an artificial intelligence module, providing the appropriate angles of rotation of the control surfaces and the necessary engine thrust depending on the meteorological situation in conjunction with the aircraft's center of gravity in real time.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that work on the "Baikal" aircraft has reached a dead end: it will never see the light of day.
