Die Concorde ist das einzige Überschall-Verkehrsflugzeug, das im regelmäßigen Liniendienst eingesetzt wurde. Die russische Tupolew Tu-144 flog zwar schon vor der Concorde mit Überschallgeschwindigkeit, kam aber nur auf wenigen Passagierflügen zum Einsatz.

Dieses Modell flog am 24. Juni 2003 zum Flughafen Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden (youtube: (visit link) ) und wurde dann in Einzelteilen in in das Technikmuseum Sinsheim (visit link) gebracht und kann hier nun besichtigt werden.
