The Concorde - Episode 282

When you think about air travel, what comes to mind? Cramped seats, hours of time wasted, and gross airports? Well, the airports would still be an issue, but the Concorde helped with some of the other problems!

Learn all about the Concorde, how it was engineered, the various companies involved, and why this engineering marvel eventually had an early retirement.
