  1. Read the text: Faster than the speed of sound

Concorde, the world’s fastest plane. French and British inventors invented it together. In 1950s, both countries dreamed of having a supersonic plane. They made a project in 1962 and spent £1.5 billion on developing Concorde. It was tested for over 5,000 hours, which makes it the most tested plane in history. In 1976 British Airways and Air France introduced their first passenger plane. It holds many world records, including the fastest crossing of the Atlantic from New York to London, which was achived in 2 hours 45 seconds!

Flying at twice the speed of sound means that flying time is reduced by half. Business people and film stars use the Concorde flight between London and New York a lot. Twenty planes have been built up present day. But there are no planes to build any more. Each plane is produced at cost of £55 million, which makes them very expensive!
