Extract

As the result of over a decade of intensive Anglo-French effort on both the airframe and the powerplant, the Concorde supersonic transport has completed its development and has convincingly demonstrated its ability to cross the Atlantic non-stop at Mach 2·0 with a full payload.

This represents a major milestone in the evolution of aviation where increases in speed and reduction of journey times have always attracted traffic. It also represents a major break-through in reducing passenger travel fatigue as has been demonstrated to a large number of people during the recent route-proving trials.
