1 The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde supersonic transport (SST) was the more successful of the only two supersonic passenger airliners to have ever operated commercially, the Tupolev Tu-144 being the other.
As a result of the type's only crash on 25 July 2000, world economic effects arising from the 9/11 attacks, and other factors, operations ceased on 24 October 2003. The last "retirement" flight occurred on 26 November that year.
The Concorde has been in development for a long time with FG, and the version for FG 1.0.0 has many advanced abilities including ability to control different wing and systems, 3D interior locations, and animations. High altitude flying in FGFS 1.0.0 in the Concorde does not result in the ability to see the curvature of the earth however.
