British Airways Concorde BA 002 stands at terminal four of London's Heathrow Airport Monday July 24, 2000. British Airways has grounded one of its Concorde aircraft, after small cracks spotted on its wings grew larger. Engineers detected 50-millimeter-long (12 inch) cracks a few months ago in the wings of the entire seven-plane fleet, but following ultrasonic testing and consultations with aviation authorities, all seven aircraft were allowed to remain in service.
