Concorde Aircraft Histories
Twenty Concorde aircraft were built, six for development and 14 for commercial service.
These were
- Two prototypes
- Two pre-production aircraft
- 16 production aircraft
- The first two of these did not enter commercial service
- Of the 14 which flew commercially, nine were still in service in April 2003
All but two of these aircraft—a remarkably high percentage for any commercial fleet—are preserved.

“The histories of the lives and fortunes of men are full of instances of this nature,—where favorable times and lucky accidents have done for them, what wisdom or skill could not.”
