Original caption

The Concorde was the world's fastest commercial passenger jet, developed by the United Kingdom and France. It first flew in 1969 and entered service in 1976, slashing transatlantic travel times like never before. Although only 20 were built, just 14 ever carried passengers. Flying at over 1,350 mph (Mach 2.04) and cruising at 60,000 feet, the Concorde could cross the Atlantic in under 3.5 hours —less than half the time of a conventional airliner. In 1996, it set a record by flying from New York to London in just 2 hours, 52 minutes, and 59 seconds. The Concorde's legendary run came to an end in 2003 after the 2000 Air France Flight 4590 crash, declining demand following the September 11 attacks, and rising operating costs. Its retirement marked the end of the world's only successful supersonic passenger airline service.
