    Concord is one of the most beautiful & extreme creations by mankind.
    It's a join venture by British and French airways. First flown in 1969 it served commercial flights for 27 years until 26 November 2003.

    We living today are not lucky enough to travel in supersonic speeds near the edge of space. :D Only military pilots can fly in supersonic aircrafts now.

    No more Concords in operation and it's one of the best designs and greatest icons in aviation history.






    "Men of vision designed this wonderful machine,
    men of passion built her, and I hope that it will be said, men of skill and daring flew her"

    Captain Adrian Thomson - Concorde Pilot

    concords burnt enormous amounts of fuel. the plane was not economical at all. Thats primary reason it got grounded. None of the airlines that used this plane made any profits from it.
