Rare — only 20 built, and all retired; static display only.

Record Flights

Famous for transatlantic flights (e.g. London/New York in under 3.5 hours); set speed records for scheduled passenger flights.

Safety & Events

The tragic crash of AF4590 in 2000 led to the type's eventual retirement; Concorde remains a legendary aircraft with significant pop culture impact.
