“The idea is good. Of course, it needs to be supported, - answered the President. It was a very good project of the XX century, it showed the actual achievements of the Soviet Union. We need to come back to supersonic passenger aviation. It’s needed to think over it. For the present, we have implemented a brilliant project in Kasan, in fact, created a new Tu-160 for the Armed Forces - a supersonic combat bomber. And not only a bomber itself, but a weapon for it. It works like clockwork. Just great. So why not create a passenger supersonic aircraft?”
