Concorde - The Greatest Plane Ever Built?
- 15 Oct 2004
![]() Credit to Newscast An Image of Concorde in all her glory. When will we see her like again? |
Concorde was a product of the post war, cold war era: a sort of child of the 60’s. Like the space race, Concorde was a grand vision, a unique project the likes of which we rarely see now. If the British and French governments had continued to develop supersonic technologies then today we might have an affordable mode of supersonic transport. But now with over 3 decades of neglect the amount of Research and Development that would be needed to build a new plane has pushed any cost estimates sky high. It may take at least another 3 decades before we see the likes of Concorde again. So perhaps Concorde will remain the greatest plane ever built for many years to come?
