  • Concorde had a cruising speed of 2,179 kilometers or 1,354 miles per hour, which was Mach 2 - twice the speed of sound.
    A New York to London flight would only take 3 hours, therefore making it much faster than a regular commercial flight.

    The Soviet version was a very similar copy of the Concorde because spies had infilitrated it's development. Britain and France knew this, however, and intentionally had the designs altered to be worse. While the Soviets managed to get their version in the air first, it was worse and suffered numerous problems.

    The Concorde, the plane that promised a new chapter in commercial aviation, a new achievement in the development of aeronautics, yet it couldn't accomplish such ambitions due to the costs of fuel and the enormous amount it consumed and the operational costs for British Airways and Air France....and of course the fatal accident of Air France 4590 with put an end to supersonic air travel. But maybe one day in a not so distant future, that era will return and we will experience what it felt to fly at Mach 2 and fly at 60.000 ft.
    Concorde, gone but never forgotten.
    Thank you Simple History for remembering this iconic aircraft of aviation's history.

    To be complet, you should explain that the US has put in place specific regulations to prevent the development of concord on their territory in order to protect their aeronautical industry, thus programming its commercial failure (First Concorde commercial flight was in 1976. One year later FFA decided to prohibit supersonic travel (SST) over the US).
