Living legend Paul McCartney, as the Beatles’ bass player, powerhouse songwriter, and vocalist, carved out a larger-than-life career and personal life. The 84-year-old billionaire…

Stories about Concorde

Somewhere over the Atlantic at twice the speed of sound, Concorde passengers sipping Perrier-Jouët could buy a Cartier Tank sold nowhere else on earth, and the watch that cost around $500 onboard has now become even more expensive than a Rolex

Paul McCartney took “all you need is love” to supersonic extremes, having a vegetarian pizza from Linda’s favorite New York pizzeria flown 3,500 miles to the UK aboard Concorde so his wife could celebrate her birthday with a slice of Manhattan

Now, when even influencers shove away fans wanting selfies, Elizabeth Taylor once happily gave her $15 million diamond ring to a Concorde flight attendant to try on, while the superstar lingered in the tiny galley, joking with the crew and sipping Champagne at Mach 2.

61 years after Europe tested the Concorde’s engines, an American startup is weeks away from firing the core of its jet engine, a crucial machine that can resurrect supersonic luxury and whisk passengers from NYC to London in the time it takes to fly from LAX to Houston

Long before AI minted millionaires, this Nebraska man made a fortune selling pizzas and celebrated his 40th birthday by booking every single seat on the Concorde and flying 98 of his closest friends from Omaha to London and back at twice the speed of sound

The mighty Concorde flew 5 miles above the standard aircraft, where the thin cabin air dulled the passenger’s taste buds by 30%, forcing the airline to serve salty caviar, rich foie gras, & fiery ginger not for luxury, but science so the food hit the nerves & not the tongue

Pepsi forced the Concorde to fly slow by painting it blue. Coors Light smartly used removable decals, served 48 ordinary Americans caviar at Mach 2, and sent them around the world in 31 short hours, creating a record that remains unbroken even today

The mighty Concorde flew so high that it was forced to carry a radiation meter to track dangerous cosmic storms. If the meter beeped, the only way pilots could protect the wealthy passengers from space radiation was to drop out of Mach 2 and descend into denser air

Wealthy Texans happily paid through the nose to fly the Concorde from Dallas to Washington, DC, enjoying champagne and caviar. Little did they know that the world’s fastest airliner did not break the sound barrier once and had been crawling the skies like an ordinary Boeing 727

As fast and cutting-edge as the Concorde was, its pilots loaded data into its navigation units not even with floppy disks, but with outdated magnetic cassette tapes so that the Mach 2 jet could cross the Atlantic without getting lost

Today’s first-class passengers get pajamas and skincare minis, but Concorde loyalists once walked off a three-hour Atlantic dash with Louis Vuitton leather goods that now sell for thousands, turning a supersonic flight into a flex modern airlines cannot dream of

Despite having full support of the mighty British and French governments the Concorde took 2,500 days to go from the drawing board to it’s first supersonic flight, this American startup building a luxury jet that can fly from NYC to London in 55 mins acheived that in 364 days
