Tupolev, Andrei (Nikolaievich) (1888-1972), Russian aeronautical engineer. He produced Russia's first jet bomber (1946) and jet passenger plane. With his son Alexei (1925-2001) he designed the world's first supersonic airliner, whose maiden flight in December 1968 preceded that of Concorde by two months; it was, however, never commercially viable.
