Tupolev oversaw the reverse-engineering of which aircraft?
Airbus A300
Boeing 707
Tu-4

Answer
The Tu-4, a Soviet long-range strategic bomber, was reverse-engineered from the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, an American heavy bomber used in World War II. The Soviets acquired several B-29s that had made emergency landings on Soviet territory and used them to create their own version, incorporating design improvements and domestic components. The Tu-4 played a significant role in the development of Soviet aviation and bomber technology.
