[edit] Information
The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was the world's first and, aside from the brief career of the Soviet TU-144, only supersonic airliner.
An Anglo-French co-venture, the Concorde flew with British Airways and Air France from 1969 to 2003, withdrawn following a crash in 2000 and the increasing age of the aircraft.
