Environmental disaster???? Gimme a break - go and hug a tree - just how much damage is a handful of Concorde's capable of when you look at the industrial output of nations like China, India and the US.....to name only a few?
A truely fantastic piece of engineering its such a shame that it cant be updated in terms of economics. I really hope that supersonic aviation continues with a similar look to concorde rather than looking 21st century modern. that would be a truely fantastic tribute to this amazing aircraft.
What a beautiful machine. Costly, yes, and an environmental disaster, but a little like Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon: a tribute to humankind's achievement. I sincerely hope we won't abandon supersonic travel forever!

This supersonic masterpiece from the 60's, should NOT be in a museum, but gracing the skies

Barnes Wallace said it would fail - it should have been a swing wing aircraft.

@raymcvey The US tried swing-wing designs and the design was simply too heavy.
