Big bird: Ziemlich genau vor 50 Jahren überquerte die „Königin der Lüfte" erstmals den Atlantik.

The article highlights the historic moment when the first supersonic commercial aeroplane, known as Concorde, crossed the Atlantic in 1973, designed and built by British and French aircraft manufacturers. It mentions its iconic status as the "Queen of the Skies" but also the financial challenges that led to its eventual retirement, as well as a tragic accident in 2000 when an Air France Concorde crashed near Paris.
