While it was an abject financial , engineering , and public relation incubus , the Concorde was certainly a beautiful , beautiful machine . And up until the 1988 gathering at Heathrow Airport , render here , they had never been shoot together in such dandy numbers .
The six sleek planes , arranged in geometric ne plus ultra , look particularly space age when lined up side by side — a rarefied sight , and one that was n’t outflank until seven were shot together in 2000 . The extremist grace of their impossibly pointed noses to their broad - backed wingspans show just how delicately tune their ultrasonic forms were — and how susceptible they were to disaster .
