What happened to the legendary Concorde—and could supersonic air travel make a comeback? In this episode of Clueless Expert, Eugenia and aerospace engineer Josh explore the thrilling story of the Concorde, the world’s first supersonic passenger jet. Discover how this British-French engineering marvel broke the sound barrier, flew from New York to Paris in under three hours, and became a symbol of luxury and speed.
They break down the science behind supersonic and hypersonic flight, examine the challenges that grounded the Concorde after its tragic crash in 2000, and ask: is the dream really over? From Cold War rivalries to jet-age glamour, and from technical innovation to commercial failure, this episode unpacks what made the Concorde iconic—and what’s next with new contenders like Boom Supersonic and NASA's X-planes.
Whether you're an aviation geek or just curious about fast planes and big dreams, this episode takes you on a nostalgic, high-speed ride through aerospace history and the future of flight.
