The '''Concorde''' was a [[supersonic]] commercial airline [[jet]]. It flew at top speeds of 1330 mph, or 1 mile every 3 seconds, or Mach 2 - twice the speed of sound. The last Concorde flight was made on November 26, 2003 from [[London]] to [[Bristol]], [[UK]] where that particular aircraft was built. It finished commercial operations a month earlier with a final flight from [[New York]] to [[London]] on 24 October 2003.

The plane was named Concorde (French for "concord," which means agreement or harmony) because it was developed as a cooperative project between the [[United Kingdom]] and [[France]], specifically between the [[British Aircraft Corporation]] (now [[BAE]]) and [[Aerospatiale]] (now [[EADS]]).
