Flying Supersonic

Racing across the skies on pristine white wings, the Concorde became an instant legend. Yet behind the glamour of Mach 2 jet travel lay groundbreaking science and political intrigue. Fifteen years after its final flight, this documentary invites you inside the historic international race to create the first supersonic airliner. Hear from those at the heart of the orchestrated effort to design and build Concorde in two countries at once—and from the crew members who piloted her.
