Synopsis:
Concorde was an extraordinary technological achievement born out of an era when supersonic travel captivated imaginations. But its path from drawing board to flight was fraught with difficulty, every aspect of Concorde's design and construction pushed back the frontiers of technology: its aerodynamics, engines, even construction methods. This programme presents a unique insight into the development of Concorde, going behind the scenes at the many sites in France and Britain.
The programme also features rare archive footage of the experimental aircraft built to test many of the technologies that went into Concorde, of special interest are interviews with the late Brian Trubshaw and Andre Turcat, chief test pilots in Britain and France respectively. The programme is brought up to date with the tragic crash in Paris, the triumphal return to flight and the memorable images of Concorde's last return to London s Heathrow airport.
