Air Canada Concorde Reg# CF-SST

CONC

The Concorde was a revolutionary supersonic passenger airliner developed jointly by Aerospatiale (France) and the British Aircraft Corporation (UK). Entering service in 1976, it was powered by four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojet engines and capable of cruising at Mach 2.04 (2,180 km/h or 1,354 mph) at altitudes up to 60,000 feet. The Concorde typically carried 92 to 128 passengers and had a range of 7,200 km (3,900 nmi). Its slender delta wing, droop-nose design, and afterburning engines made it an icon of speed and luxury. Used primarily by British Airways and Air France, it offered transatlantic flights in under four hours. Retired in 2003, the Concorde remains a symbol of innovation and the golden age of supersonic travel.
