on SUPERSONIC AIRLINERS
When the Anglo-French Concorde makes its first flight later this year it will mark the most advanced point of European technology. When it goes into service in the 1970s it will reduce transatlantic flying to a mere bus ride.
Focus reports progress on Concorde and on its Russian and American supersonic rivals, and discusses some of the complex problems, such as noise, which are yet to be overcome.
