Re: Going backwards?

In perspective, the 50 years from 1919 to 1969 saw commercial aircraft development go from wooden bi-planes to the 747.

Correction; it went from wooden bypanes, to supersonic passenger aircraft, Concorde's first flight was 2nd March 1969. We've certainly gone backwards since Concorde and the Shuttle flew for the last time.
