concorde sst 3D Modell

Beschreibung

the a?rospatiale-bac concorde supersonic transport (sst) was the more successful of the only two supersonic passenger airliners to have ever operated commercially (the tupolev tu-144 being the other).

its development a product of an anglo-french government treaty, only 20 aircraft were built. the costly development phase thus represented a substantial economic loss. air france and british airways were subsidised to buy the aircraft by their governments, while other sales were blocked by the 1973 oil crisis and competition from the boeing 747. nonetheless, concorde made large operating profits for british airways for much of its service life.

first flown in 1969, piloted by andre turcat, concorde service commenced in 1976 and continued for 27 years. it flew regular transatlantic flights from london heathrow (british airways) and paris charles de gaulle (air france) to new york jfk and washington dulles, flying these routes at record speeds, in under half the time of other airliners. concorde also set many other records, including the official f.a.i. \"westbound around the world\" and \"eastbound around the world\" world air speed records.

as a result of its only crash on july 25, 2000, world economic effects arising from the 9/11 attacks and other factors, operations ceased on 24 october 2003. the last \"retirement\" flight occurred on 26 november that year. even in retirement, concorde remains an icon of aviation history.
