Best Answer

First supersonic passenger-carrying commercial airplane. It was built jointly by British and French manufacturers and was in regular service from 1976 to 2003. Its maximum cruising speed was 2,179 km (1,354 mi) per hour, more than twice the speed of sound. A London - New York flight took less than four hours on the Concorde, but financial losses on the plane finally led both the British and French airlines to withdraw it from service.
A consortium of British and French engineers.
Concorde was a supersonic passenger jet. It was something of a vanity project for the UK and France who jointly developed Concorde. The British wanted to call it Concord but the French insisted upon the addition of a French letter.

You listed this is the Chrysler Concorde category but I suspect you are referring to the Concorde Jet airplane. The jet was not even invented in 1936, and was a very new technology in 1953. The first Concorde prototype was produced in 1966. The first Concorde put into service began in 1976. The First Chrysler Concorde vehicle was sold as a 1993 model in 1992..
