Sobre IBD

Concorde was more than an aircraft-it was a vision of the future. Born of Cold War ambition and transnational cooperation, the supersonic airliner symbolized a world where speed, technology, and prestige could break barriers once thought unbreakable. From its genesis in Anglo-French treaties to the thunderous first flights, Concorde charted new territory in engineering, design, and politics. It was both a triumph of human ingenuity and a cautionary tale of economics, environment, and limits of ambition.This book traces the complete history of Concorde, from postwar jet dreams to the Anglo-French partnership that built it, through the engineering challenges of delta wings and turbojets, the battles for market acceptance, and its eventual entry into service with British Airways and Air France. It explores Concorde’s iconic place in culture, its controversies over noise and cost, and the bittersweet farewell that marked the end of supersonic passenger travel in 2003.With detailed accounts of development, service, incidents, and legacy, Concorde: The Rise and Fall of Supersonic Passenger Flight offers a definitive narrative of one of aviation’s boldest experiments-an aircraft admired across the world but never able to fulfill its original promise.
