Concorde

The supersonic passenger jet that made the future feel real/Aircraft

Concorde was a joint British-French supersonic marvel that flew passengers across the Atlantic at Mach 2.04, cutting the New York to London trip to about 3.5 hours. At cruise altitude, passengers could see the curvature of the Earth and the aircraft's nose would reach temperatures over 120 degrees Celsius. It entered service in 1976 and retired in 2003, and the world has been stuck in subsonic economy class ever since.
