A company called FlyConcorde Ltd. is planning to bring back supersonic passenger flights, nearly 20 years after the original Concorde retired.
CONCORDE HISTORY
The iconic Concorde is preparing to return to commercial skies by 2026, marking 50 years since its first historic flight.
Without delay, she aimed to pilot the world’s sole supersonic airliner, Concorde, and submitted her candidacy for the six-month conversion course in 1992.
The former British Airways (BA) Concorde, the supersonic jet that once achieved a record-setting New York-to-London speed, will embark on a dramatically different journey, moving at a leisurely pace of 5.7 miles per hour.
The supersonic aircraft crashed into a hotel in Gonesse, France, shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 passengers as well as 4 people on the ground.
