Развитие реактивной авиации считается одним из величайших событий в авиации со времени полета братьев Райт.
Но только в августе 1939 года состоялся первый в мире полет реактивного самолета.
Именно Великобритания была ведущей страной в развитии авиации после второй мировой войны.
Благодаря большой высоте и увеличенным скоростям полет стал спокойнее и короче.
Реактивные самолеты могли преодолевать условия турбулентности.
Советский ТУ-104 широко использовался в 1958 году.
Массовые путешествия стали такими популярными, что конструкторы ВС увеличили размеры многих пассажирских самолетов.
В настоящее время до 490 пассажиров могут перевозится в Боингах 747.
Самолетостроительные отрасли Великобритании и Франции создали сверхзвуковой авиалайнер, способный развивать скорость до 1450 миль в час.
Если путешествовать по часовой стрелке, то пассажиры Конкорда могли бы приземлиться в Америке до того, как они взлетят в Европе.
Конкорд впервые произвел взлет 2 марта 1969 года из а/п Тулуза во Франции.
С 1956 года Великобритания и Франция мечтали о создании сверхзвукового пассажирского самолета.
Создание Конкорда стоило более 1,5 млрд. фунтов стерлингов.
