The Concorde was just loud and cost more money to run, and in 27 years had only one fatal accident wherein a DC-10(American designed) left a piece of debris on the runway which ultimately kicked off the incident. It was a pretty good plane from my understanding.
If we’re calling out specifics, the Airbus is an incredibly successful plane.

I was thinking their inter-war bomber designs, and their early attempts at fighters post WWII

The MD-450 Ouragan was a fairly good plane.
