Concorde Air France 1/72 Heller

In 1956 France and England simultaneously began studies of a supersonic transport aircraft. In 1961, they led to two separate projects that merged on 29 November 1962 into a single project, bringing together four main companies: Aerospace, BAC, Rolls-Royce and SNECMA. The first 001 prototype left the Toulouse factory on December 11, 1967. On 9 October and 4 December 1975, the French and British certificates of airworthiness were issued after 5400 flight hours, including 2000 in supersonic flight. Concorde has already broken the altitude (21,000 m) and speed (March 2.2) records. On 21 January 1976, under the colours of Air France and British Airways, a new era of commercial scheduled air transport was opened.
