Concorde

Supersonic airliner · First flight 1969 · In service 1976

Concorde was the world's most glamorous airliner, an Anglo-French supersonic marvel that cruised at Mach 2 and carried passengers from London to New York in about three and a half hours.

Its slender ogival delta wing and famous drooping nose made it unmistakable; retired in 2003, no successor has yet returned scheduled supersonic travel to the airlines.
