Supersonic Concorde

Concorde was a revolutionary supersonic passenger aircraft jointly developed by Britain and France. Entering commercial service in 1976, Concorde could fly at more than twice the speed of sound, reducing transatlantic journeys to around three and a half hours. Its distinctive delta wing design and powerful afterburning engines made it one of the most recognisable aircraft in aviation history. Concorde symbolised technological ambition, luxury, and innovation, carrying passengers between Europe and the United States in unmatched speed and style. Despite its success, high operating costs and environmental concerns limited its use. Concorde was retired in 2003, but it remains an enduring icon of aerospace engineering and a landmark achievement in commercial aviation history.
