So said Joelle Cornet-Templet, a chief stewardess for Air france, about Concorde: one of the world first supersonic civilian airplanes,
Concorde was the best-known member of an exclusive club of two; the only other civilian airliner able to break the speed of sound was the Soviet union Tupolev tu-144,
The end of the Concorde and Tupolev airliners left the supersonic market empty. But now, 12 years after the Concorde fleet last flew,
even faster airliners are taking shape in research facilities. One of those designs is by Lapcat-II,
The retired Concorde produced a 135-decibel noise on the ground a lot more than the average Airbus. Quote:
The Concordes and Tupolevs that paved the way for supersonic air travel in the 1970s now gather dust in museums.
