CONCORDE, the world's fastest passenger plane, will soon be over 33 years old. It first FLEW on 2 March 1969 in France. Concorde was developed by both France and Britain. From 1956 these two countries had a DREAM of a supersonic passenger plane. In 1962 they started to WORK together on the project. The plane COST over 1.5 billion pounds to develop. It is the most tested plane in the history. It was given over 5000 hours of testing. Concorde flies at twice the speed of SOUND. This means that it TAKES only 3 hours 25 minutes to fly between London and New York, compare with 7-8 hours in other passenger jets. Because of the five-hour time difference between the USA and Britain, it is POSSIBLE to travel west on Concorde and arrive in New York before you leave London! You can catch the 10:30a.m. FLIGHT from London, Heathrow and start work in New York an hour EARLIER! Concorde is much used by business people and film stars. Each Concorde is built at a cost of 55 million pounds. Twenty have been built so far. Air France and British Airway OWN the most. They each have seven planes.
协和式飞机是世界上速度最快的客机,快将面世超过33载。于1969年3月2日,它在法国首飞。协和式飞机是法国和英国共同研发的。从1956年开始,这两个国家就有超音速客机的构思。在1962年,他们开始一起进行这项目。该飞机造价超过15亿英镑开发,是历史上最经得起考验的飞机,经历超过5000小时的测试。协和式飞机的速度是音速的两倍。这意味着,从伦敦飞往纽约只需要3小时25分钟,其他客机则需要7-8个小时。由于美国和英国之间有五个小时的时差,若协和式飞机向西飞行,到达纽约的时间会比离开伦敦时更早!你可以搭乘上午10:30时的航班,从伦敦希思罗机场出发,并于早一小时在纽约开始工作!协和式飞机多为商务人士和电影明星使用。每架协和式飞机的制造成本是5千5百万英镑。至今只有二十架。法国航空公司和英国航空公司拥有得最多,各有七架飞机。
