the first passenger plane to fly faster than the speed of sound. It was designed and built by the British and the French together, and its first test flight was in 1969. The plane was in service from 1976 to 2003. It flew between London and Paris and New York, and between London and Barbados. Flying on Concorde was expensive, so most people regarded it as a very special experience. After a crash in 2000 which killed everybody on board, passenger numbers were low and flights in the remaining planes ended in 2003.协和飞机：第一架客机的飞行速度快于音速。它由英国人和法国人共同设计和制造，并于1969年进行首次试飞。这架飞机从1976年至2003年服役。它在伦敦，巴黎和纽约之间以及伦敦和巴巴多斯之间飞行。在协和飞机上飞行非常昂贵，因此大多数人都认为这是一次非常特殊的体验。在2000年坠机事故导致机上所有人丧生之后，旅客人数很少，其余飞机的飞行在2003年结束。
