In this remarkable photograph, Condorde is seen in
supersonic flight and at great height, with the curvature of the
earth clearly visible. The picture was taken from a Tornado
fighter aircraft in a specially planned operation using a
Hasselblad camera and special lens.
Built jointly by British Aerospace and Aerospatiale of France,
Condorde is designed to cruise at 1400 mph at an altitude in
excess of 50,000 feet. The aircraft's dimensions are length
204', height 40', wing span 83'10". It is powered by four
Rolls-Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593 turbojet engines.
