Reviews the advantages of SSTs over a subsonic aircraft for long-range travel in Russia. It then describes the navigation and control equipment used in the Russian SST, the TU-144. The reliability of this automatic navigation and control equipment (as well as other equipment) is increased through the use of redundant components. Weight, space, and serviceability requirements and their effect on equipment design are discussed.
