This hub traces Concorde’s history, from the origin and meaning of its name to entry into passenger service, its final commercial flight and retirement. It also examines the Olympus engines, reheat, supersonic performance and the cabin passengers encountered, giving useful context for anyone recreating the aircraft in a simulator.
