Concorde program

The Concorde program was a collaborative effort between the UK and France to develop a supersonic passenger aircraft capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. Launched in the 1960s, it resulted in the Concorde jet, capable of crossing the Atlantic in about three and a half hours—much quicker than traditional jets. Known for its sleek design, high speed (Mach 2), and luxury service, Concorde represented a technological marvel. However, due to high costs, operating challenges, and limited routes, it was retired in 2003, symbolizing a bold but ultimately costly leap in aviation history.
