Larger than the Russian TU-144 SST and carrying about half as many passengers as the American version, the Concorde is scheduled to make its first flight on Feb. 28, 1968. The estimated price of the plane has already jumped from $7,000,000 to $21 million. Even so, the partners hope that when the 1,450-m.p.h. Concorde goes into commercial use in 1971, it will snare...
