A survey of the CONCORDE supersonic transport aircraft programme has been made, starting from initial studies in the late 1950's and ending with the proposed developed type B version.
The survey covers the aspects for which aerospatiale in France was responsible, with only a minimum of reference to BRITISH AEROSPACE items, covered in another paper.
Much knowledge can be drawn from the study of the technical development of this unique aircraft and it is hoped that this paper will help pass this knowledge on.
