Concorde could

passengers and flew
faster than the speed of sound. Many people think Concorde was one of the greatest planes. But now Concorde is just part of history.
7. Read the passage and complete
the table.
For twenty-seven years, passengers travelled across the Atlantic Ocean on this plane. Most of them were businesspeople, film stars, rock stars and sports heroes. Flying at more than twice the speed of sound, Concorde took people from London or Paris to New York in just over three hours.
The invention of Concorde was a huge step forward. The plane was like a time
machine. If Concorde left London at 10:30am, it arrived in New York at about 8:30 am (1:30 pm London time) the same day.
However, the plane had many problems. It was very noisy. Some believed that its noise was bad for the environment, and that it could hurt people's ears.
In a terrible accident in 2000, near Paris, 113 people died, and after that fewer people wanted to fly on Concorde. It became too expensive to continue the service. At the end of October 2003, Concorde stopped flying.

The first pilot to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean
In 1919, a pilot named Charles Lindbergh from St Louis, the US, decided to try to fly from New York to Paris.
It took him some time, but eventually he developed the right plane. In April 1927 his plane, Spirit of St Louis, was completed. It was three metres high and weighed 975 kilos.
Lindbergh took off from New York on 20th May 1927. He flew for about thirty-three hours over 5,800 kilometres through freezing weather and fog.
He had no sleep, but when he arrived in Paris, he was very happy. He was the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean without stopping. He became a hero in the US and in France.
