Soviet and Concorde SSTs Compared at Paris Air Show
At Paris Air Show, the Soviet TU-144 and the French British Concorde sit side by side, showing similar overall shape yet major differences in structure and design. The TU-144 uses more titanium and carries 120 to 150 passengers, versus 120 to 144 on the Concorde, with forecasts of Mach 2.3 versus Mach 2.2 and higher ceilings. The Concorde’s cockpit window arrangement, de-icing, and fuselage shape differ, while the Tu-144 reportedly offers fewer windows and engines mounted near the centerline. Interior seats, electronics reliance, and service entry dates are noted, with the Tu-144 expected in 1972 and Concorde in 1974.

Coast Guard Seizes Cuban Boats Near Dry Tortugas
The Coast Guard seized four Cuban fishing vessels near Dry Tortugas on Wednesday with eight crew members detained. The boats, found fishing with handlines inside the 12 mile zone, were escorted to Dry Tortugas and later to Key West for federal court actions. Cuba had earlier paid fines in February after a similar seizure and warned of more vessels entering the area.

Space spending critic attacks shuttle program expansion
Senate critic Sen Walter Mondale says a Rand Corp study for the Air Force finds the proposed two stage shuttle and space station would cost up to 140 billion over 20 years with little savings over existing boosters. He argues no scientific justification exists for a vastly expanded manned space program and urges cheaper non military space efforts.
