Concorde
Concorde was a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner that operated from 1976 to 2003. It could travel over twice the speed of sound, significantly reducing flight times—London to New York took about three hours. Designed through a collaboration between British and French engineers, Concorde was known for its sleek design and luxury service. Despite its technological advancements, high operating costs and noise regulations limited its commercial viability. It made its final flight in 2003, marking the end of the era of commercial supersonic travel.
