Titre : | CONCORDE and the Americans : International politics of the supersonic transport | Type de document : | texte imprimé | Auteurs : | Kenneth OWEN, Auteur | Editeur : | Airlife Publishing Ltd. | Année de publication : | 1997 | Collection : | Smithsonian History of Aviation Series | Importance : | 232 p. | Présentation : | ill.en coul.; couv. ill. en coul. | Format : | 15 x 23 cm | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-1-85310-959-1 | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Catégories : | Archives 1 AR-P.TURC
| Tags : | Condorde anglais | Index. décimale : | 629.133 349 Avions à réaction (Jets) | Résumé : | The Concorde entered Airline service in 1976and remains today a technological triumph, flying daily between New York and Europe at twice the speed of sound. But the life of this supersonic transport (SST) has been beset by bitter political controversies over it's environmental and economic effects, and by strained diplomatic relations between the United States, France and Britain. Outlining the economic obstacles that more than twenty years of Concorde service have failed to overcome, Owen argues that development of the Concorde rested in twin fallacies of the late 1950s: that supersonic airliners would shape the immediate future of commercial air transport and that governments could afford to finance the building of supersonic machines. Providing a compelling analysis of the interplay of politics, economics, and technology in the introduction of a record breaking aircraft, Concorde and the Americans also examines the prospects for a "son of Concorde" that may yet prove both economically and environmentally viable. | Note de contenu : | Lettre manuscrite de Chemel EDOUARD à André TURCAT.
