EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and iconic BAC-Aerospatiale Concorde 101 F-BVFA (msn 205) of Air France, circa 1990. The Concorde, a marvel of aeronautical engineering, was a supersonic passenger airliner that revolutionized air travel with its ability to fly at twice the speed of sound. This particular Concorde, registered to Air France, is seen here in pristine condition on the tarmac, exuding an aura of power and sophistication. The Concorde was a joint venture between the British and French governments and their respective aerospace industries, BAC (British Aircraft Corporation) and Aerospatiale. The Concorde 101 series, of which F-BVFA was a part, was the production model that entered service in 1976. With a maximum speed of over 1,350 mph (2,170 km/h), the Concorde was capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean in just over three hours, making it the epitome of speed and luxury in the skies. The Concorde's distinctive design, featuring its iconic delta-wing configuration and distinctive engine pods, is on full display in this image. The aircraft's sleek lines and aerodynamic shape are a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of its designers, who pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible in aircraft design. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Concorde was still in commercial operation, before its retirement in 2003 due to economic and environmental considerations. Today, the Concorde remains an enduring symbol of human achievement and a reminder of the power of human ingenuity and the drive to explore new frontiers.
