Co-developed by Britain and France, Concorde was the first and only supersonic commercial airliner. British Airways operated its final commercial Concorde flight in 2003, ending its 27-year career. AdvertisementFor a fleeting 30 years during the 20th century, supersonic commercial air travel was a reality. That day, British Airways operated its last commercial Concorde service from JFK International Airport to London Heathrow. Thus, it would be the Concorde's last ever commercial flight in a career that started in January 1976.

CNN —Concorde, the world’s fastest commercial aircraft, has been making a rare journey – floating down New York’s Hudson River. The British Airways Concorde, one of only 20 of the supersonic aircraft to ever fly, has been en route back to NYC’s Intrepid Museum after being sanded and recoated during several months of restoration. The last ever flight by a Concorde was made on November 26, 2003. That aircraft, known as Delta Foxtrot, is now housed in Aerospace Bristol, an aviation museum in the west of England. Tours of Intrepid’s Concorde will resume on April 4, the museum says.

☆ Take a look at the silent X-59​ aircraft, NASA's experimental attempt at creating a supersonic jet with a quieter sonic boom

What happens during a sonic boomAn artist's concept shows the X-59 in flight, a design being developed by NASA and Lockheed Martin to create a faster-than-sound plane with a quieter sonic boom. NASA/Lockheed MartinA sonic boom occurs when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound. That shock wave is what you hear as a sonic boom. A sonic boom can generate sounds of up to 110 decibels, similar to a thunderclap or explosion strong enough to shatter windows and cause tremors. The Quesst mission seeks to reduce "the loudness of a sonic boom reaching the ground to that of a gentle thump, if it is heard at all," the agency said.
