EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of takeoff for the French Concorde prototype 001, on its inaugural flight at Toulouse on 2 March 1969. Piloted by renowned French test pilot Andre Turcat, this groundbreaking aircraft represented a significant achievement in aviation history as the first supersonic transport to fly. A co-production between Sud-Aviation and the British Aircraft Corporation, the Concorde represented a new era in air travel, with its sleek design and ability to reach speeds of over twice the speed of sound. The Concorde's innovative technology and engineering pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible in aviation, and its first flight marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of air transport. This image is a testament to the vision, determination, and technical expertise of the teams involved in its development, and serves as a reminder of the incredible advancements in aviation technology over the past century.
