Large Concorde by Authentic Models
Concorde is made from recycled aircraft aluminium over a wooden frame and comes with a polished aluminium stand. This is a stunning model of one of the most iconic planes ever made & the only supersonic passenger aircraft ever to fly. Concorde, with its ogival delta wings and four Olympus engines (based on the RAF's Avro Vulcan), was one of the few commercial aircraft with a tailless design. It pioneered the first analogue fly-by-wire flight-control system. Designed by Pierre Satre, with Sir Archibald Russell as his deputy, Concorde was retired in October of 2003 by Air France and British Airways after over 30 years of groundbreaking service. By the time of its retirement, Concorde was the last British Airways aircraft with a flight engineer. An absolute showstopper piece for any Concorde fan's home.
