The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2639

The Concorde was once the only turbojet-powered supersonic airliner in the world that was truly put into commercial operation.

Many young people might not know about this aircraft at all, but they would have to admit that this aircraft had left a very strong impression in the history of civil aviation.

Based on the development of human science and technology over the past few decades, an interesting phenomenon could be discovered, and that was that people had been relatively conservative in the development of science and technology over the recent years, s

However, during the Cold War era from the 1960s to the 1980s, it was the golden age where science and technology seemed to thrive, and it had developed widely and rapidly.

The people from that era had also shown unprecedented enthusiasm and radicalism in the field of science and technology.

During the era when the computing powers of computers were not as great as a learning machine, the Soviet Union had sent astronauts to space, and the United States had sent their astronauts to the moon.

Similarly, in that era, people had gradually lost interest in ordinary subsonic civil aviation aircrafts, and they had begun to step into the supersonic era with their heads held high. 3

In 1975, the Concorde, which was twice the speed of sound, could already be officially put into use. At that time, people could already enjoy the supersonic aircraft which could travel a distance of 2,150 kilometers per hour. 4

Now, it would take at least two hours to fly from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill, but if a person were to take the Concorde, it would only take twenty-five minutes.

Unfortunately, although this aircraft was exceptionally fast, it had extremely low fuel economy. So, this aircraft subsequently withdrew from the civil aviation stage in 2003 due to the arrival of the economic crisis and a serious flight accident. Ever since that day, the Concorde had disappeared from the eyes of the public. 6

Today, many people had already forgotten about the existence of this aircraft, but there were still a few of these aircrafts that had been well-preserved.

Moreover, all of it became the exclusive mode of transportation for the top wealthy and influential people.

Charlie's grandfather, Jeremiah, was one of them.
