...Johnston Gate sculpture has been designed by Dmitri Hadzi, Studio Professor of VES. For the MBTA murals, artist Gyorgi Kepes has designed a stained-glass mural with an estimated 100-foot length, and Joyce Koslov has planned a ceramic mural...
...Just wait until you see us fly," said Russian Test Pilot Mikhail Koslov. "Then you'll see something." Koslov's pride in his airplane seemed justified. Nearly everyone who attended the Paris Air Show agreed that the Russian supersonic transport, TU-144, was a more impressive-looking craft than its smaller but graceful rival, the Anglo-French Concorde. The final day of the show last week was mostly devoted to flying exhibitions. The Concorde was the first of the SSTs to perform under the canopy of gray clouds that loomed over Le Bourget Airport. As 350,000 spectators...
Then it was Koslov's turn. After a slow flight over the runway, the TU-144 started an even more awesome zoom climb, afterburners streaking yellow flame and turbofans thundering. "My God," said U.S. Test Pilot Bob Hoover, "I don't see how he can do it!" At 3,000 ft., Koslov began flattening his climb. The plane's needle nose pointed downward, then the craft went into an arrowhead plunge as the pilot struggled to regain control. The stress was too great. At 2,000 ft., the left wing ripped off first, followed by the tail...
...exact cause of the crash may never be known unless the Russians can recover more data from the TU-144's damaged flight recorder. Most experts blame Koslov for trying to force the TU-144 through maneuvers better suited to a fighter than an airliner. The real question, though, was not what caused the disaster but what effect it would have on the development of the SST. The French and British have had scant success in selling their enormously expensive Concorde (cost: $46 million apiece). The Russians clearly had hoped that the Paris show would boost...
...wares in the U.S. since the 1939 New York World's Fair. The Soviet Union spent more than $10 million on the New York show, which touches on nearly every aspect of Russian life from art and ballet to city planning, and sent their First Deputy Premier Frol Koslov (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS) to preside at the opening. The 10,000 exhibits are good, bad and indifferent by U.S. standards; the overall result is a significant study of Russia's position in the world...
