History's Most Dangerous Aircraft Models

The Tupolev Tu-144

This plane was supposed to be a "supersonic" airliner. This plane was presented in the 70s as the next best thing in aviation. Sadly, its first-ever test-flight ended in horror during the Paris Air Show. It had crashed and burned violently. It was given 50 more test flights before it was finally deemed irreparable and unsafe.
