Agreed, but that point is, the Concorde is not the most advanced passenger jet EVER built.
Come on Chris...
Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner, a supersonic transport (SST). It was a product of an Anglo-French government treaty, combining the manufacturing efforts of Aérospatiale and the British Aircraft Corporation. First flown in 1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and continued commercial flights for 27 years.
27 years at supersonic speeds and the comments about 'arriving before you leave' that live on.
It doesn't hurt to admit that we came first...on this occasion

Now, the Jumbo 747 has had far more impact in global travel and it took American know how to make such a huge plane fly so gracefully and safely.
There is a connection too with Rolls Royce powering both birds.
