Anti-Concorde Project

Who is Anti-Concorde Project?

The Anti-Concorde Project, founded by Richard Wiggs, challenged the idea of supersonic passenger transport, and helped bring about a re-evaluation of Concorde's long-term commercial future. Concorde was for a time venerated as a technological and national icon, but when it entered service in 1976, not a single plane had been sold, and the state airlines of Britain and France, the countries which had developed the plane, were required to take the 14 planes that had been built. For some, rather than being a prestigious triumph, Concorde was considered a white elephant.
