At a time when flying across the Atlantic was by no means as commonplace as it is today, a supersonic passenger plane, that looked like out of a science-fiction movie, got out of sight: the Concorde. Large and elegant, the cruising speed of the delta wing was almost 2,200 km / h - more than twice the speed of sound. It flew 8000 m higher than normal passenger jets - performance data that can not be compared with any other passenger aircraft until today. This volume tells the exciting story of the fastest passenger airplane of all time, which started to its last flight in 2003.
With 185 illustrations.
