The famous supersonic Tu-144 aircraft, located on Chetaeva Street in Kazan, will receive new architectural lighting. Kazan National Research Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev (KNITU-KAI) has announced a tender for repair work worth more than 2 million rubles.
The project includes integrating the lighting with the control system of the interactive technology museum, which operates directly inside the aircraft. This will allow creating effects and light shows during events and excursions.
All work will be completed by March 31, 2026. The contractor will not only have to update the lighting, but also ensure strict compliance with safety requirements when working with a historical object.
Managing Director of JSC "Tupolev" Konstantin Timofeev suggested that the Soviet supersonic passenger aircraft Tu-144could be put back on its wings.
