Including aviation: Half dragon, half dinosaur start into the unknown - like a bizarre giant bird from prehistoric times it floats up: the Concorde, the new superstar of the air. Supersonic jet Concorde, gas first passenger plane that flies faster than a speeding bullet; going to be a civil aviation new dimensions developed or most expensive mishap in the history of aviation. Britain and France, the two producer countries to have sent the Concorde in scheduled air services.
Concorde passengers are an exclusive circle: separate flight switch, own baggage handling, first class service, up to the last minute. Contacts with the flying mass audience remain spared the Jet set - the Concorde ticket as a new status label. The supersonic passengers need to pay accordingly: 20 per cent more than the 1st class in the normal - Jet costs. A premium, international airlines were, by their own 1. Class passengers before suffering the excursion in excess sound fields. Metal, electronics, glass and plastic for 140 million German marks. The Concorde costs more than a jumbo jet, which can carry almost four times as many passengers and consume 60 percent less fuel in the half. Almost all airlines therefore abstain. You will see a billion debt makers in the Super Jet. The double speed of sound for some urgent contemporaries disbursed 10 billion France and Britain itself. The start in the new age of flight will consume even more billions.

In Bonn: Politicians wish seriously, how it before as the Protocol, at the entrance, was measured and ceremonial then inside of the Beethoven Hall, where President Scheel conjured a peaceful world to ambassadors from 121 countries. ' I would stress our keen interest Excellencies, in this regard, sake of peace to the realisation of human rights to contribute and any kind of discrimination aufgrand of race, faith or political conviction to reduce as quickly as possible and to eliminate. We are ready to work together with other countries in the framework of our possibilities to found just and permanent peace arrangements for all States and peoples of those regions, where tensions still exist, that threaten world peace.
Then the President shaking hands woke up, exactly 130 times, as conscientious observers want to have counted. Helmut Schmidt did it for him. Walter Scheel enjoys the festive representation of the State, by its own admission. That he represents himself with Charlie and culture that sets it apart from most of his predecessors. Walter Scheel: host and main performer on the traditional new year's reception of the Bendespräsidenten. This time he completed the course of Artigkeiten and niceties flawlessly.

This technique: Ferryman without job today mean's that charm and wit have their home in France, but also in technology, France wants, big. After the Concorde the thing on the Loire River: A suspension bridge, the third-largest in Europe. Only three years built the technicians and engineers. Then invited traffic signs to the premiere ride across a fascinating building, which stretched several kilometres across the water on the Loire River. The majority of the construction costs the State wants to can but replace by bridge users. A hefty fee is the motorists on the sentiment of forced attention, coming to the building according to its designers. Two 70-metre pylons carry the 720-metre-wide middle section of the bridge. She was set so high that she can be ride ferries from large tankers bändigten traffic over the Loire estuary so far. The bridge will bring new traffic. The planners expect that here no later than 1980 1 million vehicles cross the Loire River in the year.

In car: safety training of the ADAC in Munich snow and ice on the road: nightmare of most motorists. The ADAC makes its members winter festival - but not only them for years. Any Federal citizen who wants to learn to control his vehicle in dangerous situations can before establish himself on the practice courts of the ADAC the tools. The daily exchange rate costs 60 marks. For the slalom rides, spinning and braking tests, you must use the car. Risk of training in theory and practice. Example: how to behave, when you should suddenly brake icy road on one side?

(ADAC expert)
'I'm forced to an emergency stop, words, the vehicle breaks out and give short hard bursts of brake and take the steering to the right, the vehicle remains in the track.'
ADAC experts explain, demonstrate, and contact - if timid rider wish - in the passenger seat. Winter life on the streets - second example: evasion before suddenly emerging obstacles.

(ADAC expert)
' It appears in front of me an obstacle. I need brakes, block the wheels. I must release the brake driving around the barrier.'
Driving as a learning process. The safety training should include for each driver.

In sports: m + s pilots a certain type among car drivers can, however, not allow: when always weather and terrain allows, he finds the danger. However, he prepared himself and his car, as required by the regulations. Rally - this time in Austria. Whether Street, highway, or meadow - a rally vehicle can master any terrain. Not beautiful but strong - so the souped-up series cars present themselves if they deliver to battles for position in a cloud of dust and rocks barely distinguishable. Beefy Super-VW on the tracks of the legendary car of bucket. Austria's cross Experton prefer the robust beetle that will see still some unexpected comeback anywhere in the world if he is been deported in Wolfsburg long off the Assembly line in the auto Museum.
