The Tu-144LL Supersonic Flying Laboratory dates back to a time when NASA collaborated with the American and Russian aerospace industries on a joint international research programme lasting five years. This aircraft's maiden flight took place on 13 April 1981 in Voronezh, USSR, when it was registered as CCCP-73114. In 1996, the aircraft was modified to serve as a flying laboratory and re-registered as RA-77114 by Tupolev/NASA. The final flight of the Tu-144LL and the last ever flight of a Tu-144 took place on 14 April 1999 at Zhukovsky.
