The Concorde was not successful. The 747 is.

Concord was successful, it met its design goals.


Which was to use ungodly amonts of tax money for the design and to
subsidize the enntoire program.


However it failed commercially as the goal was moved.
We had several political changes and an oil crisis that made it too
expensive.
Pretty much the same as the 747 should feel when the A380 takes all its
passengers.
Which it won't as the USoA doesn't allow a level playing field and will
prevent it from getting landing slots when its a threat.

You might have a military plane faster but you haven't got a passenger
airliner faster.

They have the space shuttle, the only thing faster than that was Apollo but
that's old technology borrowed from the Germans.


The crappy V2 rockets that they rianed down on gay old England?
