How the Concorde Worked

# Summary

Join Josh and Chuck as they explore the fascinating history and engineering marvel of the Concorde, the supersonic jet that revolutionized transatlantic travel in the late 20th century. From its origins as a joint British-French project in the swinging 1960s to its tragic final flight in 2000, this episode dives into the incredible aerodynamic innovations that allowed the plane to cruise at twice the speed of sound while flying at the edge of space. Discover why this iconic aircraft couldn't sustain itself despite its groundbreaking technology, featuring wild details about its needle-like nose, ingenious fuel management system, and the competition with the Soviet Union's Konkordski that never quite got off the ground.
