Concorde

The Concorde was the most iconic supersonic passenger jet, created through an Anglo-French partnership between BAC and Aérospatiale. With its sleek delta wings, drooping nose, and Mach 2+ cruise speeds, it revolutionized transatlantic travel by cutting flight times in half while offering luxury service. Operated by British Airways and Air France, it became a symbol of exclusivity and engineering brilliance, though high costs, noise limits, and environmental concerns restricted its success. Retired in 2003, Concorde remains a technological triumph and enduring symbol of aviation’s boldest ambitions.
