Before Concorde became an icon, it made enemies—powerful ones. In this episode, we trace the political wars, engineering failures, and shadowy rivalries that threatened the world’s first supersonic airliner. Featuring the TU-144 rivalry, the US government ban, and the backlash that grounded the future, this is the untold battle for the skies.
