	Tupolev Tu-160 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tupolev design, dubbed Aircraft 160M, with a lengthened flying wing layout and incorporating some elements of the Tu-144, was the OKB's entry in the competition, which also included the Myasishchev M-18 and a Sukhoi T4MS design.
		The Tupolev Tu-160 (NATO reporting name Blackjack) is a supersonic, swing-wing heavy bomber designed in the Soviet Union.
		In 1995 Tupolev announced a partnership with the German firm OHB-System to produce the aircraft as a carrier for the launch vehicle, but the German government subsequently withdrew funding in 1998.

	TUPOLEV
		In the 1960s and 1970s, the Tupolev organization introduced a new generation of strategic bombers, among them the Tu-22, the Tu-22M (both known by NATO as "Backfire"), and the Tu-160.
		Tupolev was born in 1888 and developed an early interest in aeronautics, building gliders by the time he reached his early twenties.
		Tupolev resisted the idea of copying since he believed that one of his own designs, the Samolet 64, would be a better option.

		The Mach 2 Tupolev Tu-160 was built only in tiny numbers, leaving the earlier Tupolev Tu-16 and Tupolev Tu-95 heavy bombers of 1950s vintage to soldier on into the 21st century.

		Plans in the US and Russia for successors to the current strategic bomber force remain only paper projects, and present political and funding pressures suggest that they are likely to for the foreseeable future.

		In a hurry to get the plane into service, both training and development were undertaken simultaneously with operational crews providing much of the testing of the aircraft.
