Beschrijving

Bol Concorde remains one of the most iconic and most beautiful aircraft ever to take to the skies and as a result many aspects of its development and its operational career have been covered frequently both in books and magazine articles. However, this book provides genuinely new perspectives on the Concorde programme as it explores how this great aircraft came into being, concentrating both on the design and development aspects of the aircraft and on the political background to this exercise in Anglo-French collaboration. Early chapters look at the various supersonic transport proposals mooted both in Britain and France before Concorde. Next areas relating to the practical difficulties of supersonic flight such as supersonic booms as examined. The narrative then moves on to how the British and French work was merged into a single programme. Later portions of the book describe the flight test programme leading up to service entry in 1976 and the text is complemented by an extensive range of photographs and drawings.
