The Concorde airplane was named for its embodiment of "concord," which means harmony or agreement in French. The name reflects the collaborative effort between British and French aerospace engineers and governments in its development. Concorde was also intended to symbolize the pioneering spirit of supersonic travel, uniting two nations in the pursuit of advanced aviation technology.
