EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Concorde 001 takes shape as it undergoes construction in the main assembly area of Sud-Aviation's St. Martin plant in Toulouse, France, in 1967. The iconic supersonic passenger airliner, which would later revolutionize air travel with its record-breaking speeds, is in its formative stages, with workers meticulously assembling the various components. The image showcases a team of skilled men in overalls, intently focused on their tasks, as they work on the massive aircraft. Signs and labels are scattered throughout the area, indicating the different parts and systems being installed. The vastness of the space highlights the scale of the project, with the partially completed Concorde dwarfed by the towering cranes and machinery that surround it. Concorde 001, the first of two prototypes, was a significant milestone in the development of the supersonic transport. The aircraft's innovative design, which featured a distinctive delta wing and advanced materials, required a high degree of precision and expertise to bring to life. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the intricacies of the construction process, providing a fascinating insight into the engineering prowess and dedication of the team at Sud-Aviation. The year 1967 marked an exciting time in the history of aviation, as Concorde 001 moved closer to its first test flight. This photograph captures the spirit of innovation and progress that defined the era, as the world eagerly anticipated the arrival of the supersonic age.
