"Thundering across the sky on elegant white wings, the Concorde was an instant legend. But behind the glamour of jet setting at Mach 2 were stunning scientific innovations and political intrigue. Fifteen years after Concorde's final flight, NOVA takes you inside the historic international race to develop the first supersonic airliner. Hear stories from those inside the choreographed effort to design and build Concorde in two countries at once - and the crew members who flew her. NOVA follows Concorde's legacy to a new generation of innovators who are pushing the boundaries of aviation in hopes of launching a new era of supersonic travel."--Container.
