Hello!
I'm actually sub-editing the article at the moment (A2818640) and apart from a few small things and putting the technical data into tables, everything's going OK ... apart from the cruise speed for the Tu-144LL. The figure in km/h you've quoted would actually give a Mach number higher than 2.3 (if the speed of sound for all the others is 1,062 km/h).
I had a look at the NASA Dryden Fact Sheets for the Tu-144LL, and the cruise speed quoted there (2,470 km/h after conversion from mph) is much closer to Mach 2.3 ... hopefully, this change should be OK?

@mikeo: I think it's okay, unfortunately I have no access to my books right now, but I think you're right. Thank you for your profound modifications!
