- ipdb.notes
- Circa 1970s.
The supersonic airliner depicted on the backglass is not a Concorde but is a Soviet Tupolev TU-144. Among the differences it has from the Concorde are its engine nacelles, its canard surfaces on the top of the cockpit (not needed on the Concorde), the clear sections of the drooping nose (fixed on the Tupolev; mobile on the Concorde), and the number of wheels on the main landing gear that also retract inside the engine nacelles. The backglass aircraft was drawn remarkably similar to the photograph shown here. The artist even included the red soviet flag seen on the tail rudder.
The first Concorde, the 001, flew its maiden flight on March 2, 1969 over France. The first commercial passenger flights took place on January 21, 1976 when a British Airways flight traveled from Heathrow to Bahrain at the same time that an Air France jet flew from Paris to Rio de Janeiro. The last supersonic flight occurred October 24, 2003 when British Airways flew from New York to Heathrow. Air France had already grounded its supersonic fleet the previous May.
The British/French Concorde was not the first supersonic airliner to fly. A Soviet prototype Tupolev TU-144 made its first flight on December 31, 1968 but didn't break the sound barrier until June 5, 1969.
