EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a mock-up of the Concorde 002's cockpit, located at Filton in Bristol, England. The image transports us back to 1969, a pivotal year in aviation history. It was from this very location that the Concorde 002 embarked on its inaugural test flight to the nearby RAF Fairford on 9 April 1969. The Concorde, a marvel of mid-20th century technology, was a supersonic transport aircraft that revolutionized air travel. This mock-up cockpit is a testament to the intricate design and advanced technology that made the Concorde's supersonic capabilities possible. The dials and gadgets in the cockpit reflect the specific requirements for operating a supersonic aircraft. The computer systems and controls were crucial for maintaining the delicate balance necessary for the Concorde to fly at supersonic speeds. The image offers a unique glimpse into the inner workings of this engineering marvel. The Concorde's first flight to Fairford marked the beginning of an extensive testing phase, which would ultimately lead to the aircraft's commercial service debut in 1976. This photograph, taken during the testing phase, offers a fascinating insight into the historical development of this iconic aircraft. The Concorde's legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the groundbreaking achievements in aviation technology that were made in England during the late 1960s.
