Does anyone know how many Concorde planes there are? (the "fleet" of Concordes)?

Sucessfull should be removed or moderated. Concorde is technical success but a commercial flop.

Better. But it needs to be extended. On the long run Air France and Bristish may have earn money with Concorde. But production and studies for Concorde where a financial disaster. On the other hand some say than Concorde was necessary to allow european aircraft industry to becane competitive. The benefit of Concorde may well be in Airbus. In France Concorde is widely considered as an expansive flop while in US very few considers the Appollo program as to expansive. I will try to a paragraph about it. Ericd
