Today marks 55 years since the first flight of the iconic aircraft, Concorde. The powerful supersonic commercial aircraft On March 2, 1969, the prototype series number 001, manufactured by the Aérospatiale-BAC consortium and registered with the license plate F-WTSS, made its first flight after taking off from runway 33 at Blagnac Airport in Toulouse, France and lasted 29 minutes. It was up to the test pilots André Marcel Turcat, Henri Perrier, Michel Retif and Jacques Guinard to perform the flight that lasted 27 minutes. Prototype 001 completed 397 flights in its testing stage and accumulated a total of 812 hours with 19 minutes, of which 254 hours with 49 minutes corresponded to supersonic flights. 4 Likes |

See as the world have been developing since time immemorial. Yet back here, all we have to remember is useless leaders setting the continent backwards with wicked and evil egocentric absurdities. 63 Likes 6 Shares |

The Concorde has come and gone and none will match her speed. It’s time to also celebrate the A380 while it’s still in operation. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Fantastic in those days. Very expensive and only could be afforded by some. Absolutely exuded luxury, beauty and power. Very well preferred on the US route, from the UK, as it saved time for passengers who could afford it. Hopefully the aviation industry can develop another design of such an aircraft, with far less noise, which was a major factor. It’s noise reverberated everywhere as it was landing or taking off. Again the issue of the price (which made people avoid it and regular aircrafts), could be looked into and lastly the maintenance. 6 Likes 1 Share |
