I went on board the first Concorde prototype, and one of the last built, at a Paris museum. Boom's Overture means supersonic ...

Concorde flew at the cruising speed of Mach 2, twice the speed of sound, where even small increases in drag would have had a significant impact on fuel burn and range. A wider cross-section would have ...

Flight engineers were crucial to the operation. And on top of that, Concorde was a “dynamic” aircraft, as Hazelby puts it, operating unlike any other commercial plane.

In May 2024, I toured a Concorde jet at the Intrepid Museum in New York City. The sea, air, and space museum is housed on a 900-foot-long aircraft carrier. Take a look inside.

The Concorde was essentially a record-breaking machine. It could achieve speeds of 1,354 mph, otherwise known as Mach 2.04, which is more than twice the speed of sound.

Concorde crossed the Atlantic at twice the speed of sound, cutting travel time in half compared to a conventional passenger plane. The groundbreaking jet made its final flight on Nov. 26, 2003.

A Concorde supersonic jet was setting down on American soil for the first time for the dedication of the newly constructed DFW International Airport, which was set to draw more than 100,000 visitors.
