Info
The Concorde is a product of Anglo-French cooperation. When the Concorde entered Air France and British Airways transatlantic service in 1976, it was the only operational supersonic passenger transport in the world. Concordes crossed the Atlantic Ocean in under three hours, or less than half the time of any other jetliner flying that route even today. The Concorde on display at the Intrepid Museum, Concorde Alpha Delta G-BOAD, set the speed record for the fastest Atlantic crossing on February 7, 1996. The flight took only 2 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds.
