Anyone likes airplanes ? Most beautiful plane ever...

<< < (7/7)

Level42:
Yeah and so were the British, the Americans, the Dutch and let's not forget the Germans (although their first great planes were actually Dutch, remember Red Baron (just to insert a slight arcade link) ;) ?

Concorde was a cooperation between France and the UK. Shame the Americans couldn't stand that the Europeans were taking lead in supersonic passenger flight and thought up heaps of limitations to land in the US for it. It is an extremely beautiful plane IMHO. I've seen (and been in) the first built (test) Concorde that's in the UK in Yeovil in a museum if I remember correctly. I remember my first impressions as "what a tiny space in the cabin" and, "look at all the 60's style technology !" :D

There's a new "battle" now between Boeing and Airbus. Airbus went for the huge A380. Boeing doesn't believe in that concept and goes it's own way. Will be interesting to see who's right....
