In total the 14 Concorde aircraft made just under 50,000 flights since its its first transatlantic crossing in September 1973, and flew more than 2.5m passengers at speeds faster than the speed of sound
After years of development from Sud Aviation (later Aérospatiale) and the British Aircraft Corporation, Concorde took to air for the first time in 1969, only to be grounded for good 34 years later
