The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner that entered service in 1976 and remained operational until 2003. Capable of reaching speeds over Mach 2.0 (twice the speed of sound), Concorde could cross the Atlantic in under 3.5 hours, cutting conventional flight times in half. The real aircraft measures 62.10 meters in length with a wingspan of 25.56 meters and stands 11.40 meters tall. British Airways operated Concorde on prestigious transatlantic routes, primarily between London Heathrow and New York JFK, making it a symbol of luxury air travel and technological achievement in commercial aviation history.
