Concorde: The Race for Supersonic - Episode Guide

The first programme examines the Anglo-French Concorde project's American and Russian rivals, and uses digital technology to examine how these ultimately unsuccessful projects might have flown.

The conclusion of the two-part documentary explores the decline in supersonic flight, as the US and Russian attempts to establish rivals to Concorde collapse. However, new laws governing aircraft see Concorde's use reduced, turning it from the start of a new age to a luxury for the wealthy. Two decades later, a tragic accident will lead to the decision to retire Concorde.
