Concorde 001: From Paris Rollout to Mach 2 with Turcat and Trubshaw

Witness the moment passenger flight touched the edge of space. From a tail-mounted camera capturing the eerie silence beyond the sound barrier to Concorde’s first public reveal, this is the story of how a dream took wing. Travel from the 1967 Paris Air Show to Toulouse and Filton as Anglo-French teams perfect the droop nose, Olympus 593 engines, and a radical new build process. Hear Tony Benn’s behind-the-scenes decisions, the sonic-boom politics, and why fuel reserves became a hot dispute. See how wind tunnels, sculpture milling, and 12 tons of flight-test instrumentation pushed Concorde 001 and 002 to Mach 2. Then feel the shockwaves as the Tu-144 crashes at Paris, Boeing’s 2707 is canceled, and Concorde fights for US landing rights. Along the way: the first supersonic runs, a sabotage scare, flutter tests, and the glamour that made crowds stop and stare. If you want the definitive, cinematic timeline of how Turcat and Trubshaw proved Mach 2 was possible for paying passengers, watch now and experience the “silence” of speed. #Concorde #Supersonic #AviationHistory #Tu144 #Boeing2707 #TonyBenn #Mach2 #DroopNose
