The Tupolev TU-144
The Russian plane was the only to go for commercial use. Even though it can reach 1,200 mph, it also failed a lot. Which is why people go to great lengths to avoid flying on this plane. It was too unstable to feel comfortable in, and the plane was so loud that people had to pass notes to converse with one another. Its final flight was in 1978.
