History of the Concorde Aircraft

The Concorde was developed as a result of Franco-British cooperation and became one of the few commercial passenger planes capable of flying at supersonic speeds (Mach 2). Regular passenger flights began in 1976, and the aircraft were operated until 2003. Concorde was primarily used on transatlantic routes, enabling lightning-fast transportation between Europe and North America.

The model offered here represents the version used by Air France in its distinctive, elegant livery, which served both for VIP passenger transport and regular Paris–New York flights.
