There is a company called Boom Supersonic. They are trying to make a new Supersonic Airliner and to be honest i kinda want to fly with it
That would be awesome💯
That’s where United airlines is getting their supersonic planes
@@xavvin yes
They don't even have the engine for their plane though.
But it will be 100% green (hydrogen or amonia fuel likly)
I talked with the CEO of Eva air which is also the boss of STARLUX now. And he said that it’s not a good idea and it might not do good for environment and it is too loud
My favourite part was when he explained how it went backwards in time
It moved faster than the earth could rotate. Timezones.
Prob he said that cuz its ahead of its time
You could take off from London at 10:30 and land in New York City at 8:30 the same day
@@alexcsoma9118 that's just a normal time zone
The crash was because of a dc-10-10 which had a small metal strip fall off, which punctured the concords tire and fuel tank.
Speak English please🤣
@@Maxlemieuz he speaks English better than you, that's for sure
@@Maxlemieuz i dont see anything wrong with what he said. If ur confused about the DC-10 part, well, its a plane with 3 engines. It was built by the Douglas company, and was a competitor to the iconic Boeing 747, and other widebody planes. Douglas later did a oopsie and merged/got bought by Boeing
He is just requesting a simpler explanation and not taunting. Like breaking down technical lingo in layman terms. Eg : McDonnell Douglas DC-10 wide body plane. Much simply called bigass American made plane. 🤣🤣🤣
@@thephonepersonally absolutely I am horrible at English it’s not my first language and second of I was making a joke chill
"The snoot would droop," Markiplier try not to laugh
The snoot drooped
And my nose is still drooping
When Britain and France take a break from fighting each other - magnificent things like Concorde are created.
@Dacia Sandero guys don’t forget about the crumpets and the croissants aswell
@@jonsed90 Croissants are Austrian
Lol
@@gam08e85 nope "Hörnchen" are austrian Croissants are french
@Dacia Sandero guys they were at war with each other for 100 years..
My grandpa worked on the concord as a flight attendant. After the crash, the concord he was on got decommissioned. He still has some crazy stories about working on it.
"It went backwards in time, but not really in time". Okay. Got it.
It could beat the timezone difference
@@dannur But it can't beat goku too
But it actually went forward in time because of time dilation
Air Canada leaves Sydney at 12.00 pm and lands in Vancouver bc 8 am the same day after a 14 hour flight. You watch the sun move backwards in the sky , it’s freaky
@@phenixtechyt shut up
“it was far ahead of its time” i see what you did there

"The droop snoot" y'all remember that
The snoot droops
the snoot would droop
Swiss001
Was looking for this comment
The snoot would droop the droop snooped
In Germany, in a city called Sinsheim, there is a technique museum where they have a Concorde AND the Russian version, "Concordski" on the roof, both open to go into. Those planes (among some other) are clearly visible on Google earth. The museum is interesting in itself, as well!
Yes I have been there
Ive also been there and i was in is
It was a pain going all the way up
@@TankReaper46_wotb facts
There is also a concord at East Fortune air museum in Scotland.
I was there couple of years back!! I loved it. Never knew that inside of the Concorde was so small. Very claustrophobic lol
Greetings from Czech republjc my neighbour
Just to add context:
The crash did hurt Concordes reputation for a little, but that wasn’t the reason the program ended.
The reason the program was canned is because of a few factors, one being the post 9/11 downturn, and rising maintenance and operational costs.
Concorde burned a SHIT ton of fuel.
And the Americans wanted every excuse to stop it from flying
@@simoncourtney1592 Where did you get that from. Just look how much fuel the concorde uses. The concorde uses 25000 litres of fuel per hour and carries 100 people in what are basically economy class seats, a boeing 747 Consumes 15000 litres of fuel per hour and carries up to 524 people. Now consider a seat on the concorde is up to 18000 dollars and you will see why airlines had to rely on glamor to sell tickets. That's not merely an excuse, that's airlines trying to get off a clearly unsustainable business model.
@@simoncourtney1592 Ah, the classic "blame America" for your own problems. Maybe if you didn't blame America so much the Concord would still be flying today. But no, "mUricA bAd" is your motto.
This is where "I got that from " : My neighbour, who in fact was a Captain on the concorde. I think he does know what he may be talking about. But hey you tell me?
@@simoncourtney1592 Your neighbor was the captain of a concorde? Cool, im currently in uni studying several aspects of aviation. The Concorde was a doomed project from the start. A nightmare to produce, being severely overbudget, being stupidly inefficient at slow speeds burning a cars weight in fuel just taxiing, the 747 burns half that while carrying 3-4 times the passenger load. Both Air France and British Air, originally refused to purchase the aircraft, so the government sold the aircraft to them at $1 a frame.
It was a delicate piece of shit, requiring many specialized components. Heavy on the maintenance, and overly expensive to operate, and unlike most airliners. The Concorde had a very short service cycle, due to issues regarding the airframe.
And it was a fuel hungry monster. Fuel is one of the biggest expenses for an airline and the concorde became simply to costly to continue to operate.
Did we want her gone? No not really. In actuality the concorde received special treatment from the US gov. Despite being in utter violation of noise regulations and several other environmental policies.
Like it or not, The US was just as proud to have the concorde as the british and french were. But as others already pointed out. The downturn in 2001 cemented the downfall of the Concorde. And if it had somehow comtinued flying past 2001. It would have been retired come 2008.
bruh this looks like that one edited clip of an airplane flapping it’s wings
Ah, yes. The plane with the most amazing design feature ever made. The Droop Snoot.
The snoot would in fact droop!
@@kyizelma I… I think they get that.
@@copley_hill_shed_56c oops
It’s snoot droop
The snoot drooped
“The snoot would droop”
“The snoot drooped?”
The 2000 crash wasn't even it's fault, a part of a DC10 that fell of got caught in the engine upon takeoff
The crash didn't kill the Concorde.
Economy did.
Concorde consumes ALOT of fuel and it is also very expensive to maintain.
The metal strip didn't actually get sucked into the engine. The strip punctured a main landing gear tire which sent the remains into the wing fuel tank rupturing it and spilling fuel along with severing landing gear controls with gave the now leaking fuel an ignition source thus setting the engin and surrounding areas on fire, which is why engaging the fire emergency systems on the engine failed to do anything.
As for the company going under. They tried to make the aircraft as safe as possible giving many redesigns to the landing gear. The fuel tanks, the under belly, etc. They then proceeded to go and put these new safety measures on all their planes but the expense was too high, the reputation (as far as i know this was their only crash to) was destroyed, and they ran out of money thus leading to them closing their doors permanently. So sad to see a company bleed themselves dry to try and make their planes safer
@@LPHGaruda1 yeah my bad, I was using information that I misremembered from a video I watched months ago. Still annoys me how people blamed the Concorde for this accident though
@@starflyxxl8600 you were right about the metal debris being from a DC10 though and yea, one crash (if my memory serves well) and everyone lost faith in the company, but delta, American Air, continental Air have had numerous crashes and people still fly on them.
@@LPHGaruda1 The dc-10 is a plane with a troubled history.
“This plane went backwards in time…” whole clip has absolutely nothing to with this sentence.
It means the plane was really old
Including the aircrafts that fly right now are old like the concorde aswell
it’s referring to the local time on your watch.
If you leave London at 3pm on the concord you get to NYC at noon.
I was obsessed with these planes the first time I heard about them as a kid.
You can see the cockpit in the actual plane up close at a place called east fortune near Edinburgh
I've been its pretty cool they also do cafe bike races on a track near the property
My auntie actually flew on the Concorde and met a few celebrities, one being Michael Jackson, but I enjoy her telling me the stories of when she used to work on planes
The crash was due because of another plane loosing a metal piece and so performing the Concorde fuel tank and landing gear tire
That's Interesting
Thank you for this, when i was a child i was obsessed with planes, and i was sooo mad knowing that concord in not in used and i dont know why so, but this video tells a bit on why it is not used anymore, thank you
From what I remember, there were two of them made and the other one is actually here in a Barbadian hangar on display
Edit: I just checked my info, there were actually 20 made and only Air France and only British Airways were allowed to purchase and fly the concorde
Last I saw and toured one it was at the USS Intrepid museum in NY. Tiny inside...
I’ve seen 4 of them, and I’ll see a fifth next year
@@copley_hill_shed_56c nice
“The snoot, droops”
XB-70: “welcome to heaven”
It had 1 crash in 24 years , name another plane which has such a safety record
The reason the program was cancelled was not because of the crash
The reason was because of the rising fuel costs and inefficient engines of Concorde and the passenger market shrinking , I never said the program was cancelled due to accident , just saying the safety record was near perfect and the plane didn’t crash because of design fault but due to debris on the run way
It cost that much to build but the airlines struggled to turn a profit when they got the planes for $1 from the government..
I use to see the Concord fly by when I was little living near NYC it had its own noise different from anything else once you heard it you always knew it was the Concord
They forgot to mention fuel costs skyrocketing, the main reason it got cancelled.
this guy is the king of leaving out key information, his early content was great. but hes just like the rest of these goons nowadays
@@XxXNinjaFanXxX yea unfortunately he's just in it for the views now
It wasn't that fuel costs skyrocketed, it was that this plane never had a flight that ever paid for itself, French and British Govt. subsidized this fuel guzzler, every flight.
@@larrydaniels6532 yea :p good point, it just wasn't worth it
The Concord is one of my favorite planes
Why
It was also extremely loud to so people who lived near airports protested.
You say that like this isn't standard for every airport
@@4ghzgaming664 So loud your windows shatter if you want hearing loss so badly feel free to join the military
@@4ghzgaming664 not sonic boom levels of noice, there is a big reason this was only used for transatlantic flight
@@meerderheidsverslag1233 Conc was only a few decibels louder than your average modern airliner, certainly no windows shattered.
@@link7417 Concorde wasn’t allowed to fly supersonic over land. They flew Singapore-Bahrain too.
I live in England and visited the concord museum in Manchester airport and it was lit I went in it and it’s so thin. Great moment of my life and so iconic that it got me mad on planes mainly Boeing for some reason but still
One of the main reasons the aircraft failed was the US were salty they couldn't make a supersonic commercial airliner first so they banned it flying over supersonic speed anywhere near their coast.
You're just wrong! The Americans found out early that the plane would never turn a profit. Your govmt and the French had to subsidize every flight this money loser ever took. Poor brits and frenchmen paying for the elites to save a few hours, excellent!
I remember going to duxford plane museum, and they had one of these. It is absolutely awesome.
"It was BEAUTIFUL"
shows it's ugliest silhouette
I have seen this Germany's sinsheim museum. The Russians made a replica of the tupolev Tu 114 which is also placed next to concorde. Both look awesome and way ahead of it's time.
I remember these. Used to fly over my house on route to Heathrow. Load af.
Concord was was the first commercial plane to do supersonic speed
Fod on the runway revealed a design fault but (I believe ) it was nearing the end of its service life anyway
One fact you didnt mention is that these planes are incredibly loud. So loud infact it would start nearby car alarms making it impractical to use on a wide scale
XD WTH L JUST WATCHED ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY ABOUT THE INCIDENT WITH THE PLANE
Another reason is that the supersonic boom that the planes made was said to sometimes shatter windows in skyscrapers. It was unbearable
"It looked absolutely beautiful" me thinking it looked goofy af 😂😂
I know like 10 people have already commented this but the crash in 2000 (Air France Flight 4590) was due to a piece of metal on the runway that came from a DC-10 (which had a really bad reputation for safety) that had used the runway earlier, which punctured the Concorde's tire which caused a fire. Because of this, the engines on the left side of the wing were running low on power which caused the Concorde to crash into a nearby hotel because it wasn't going fast enough to lift up. Everyone on board died.
This is an unnecessary video, your giving out far to little information. And the video is to short. Your leaving people with not even 1/100 of the story
The video is limited to less than a minute. I don’t understand why you expect a documentary
Also adding on: Concorde could not fly inland due to the plane being too loud to break windows, so there were no LA-NY Concorde routes
I’ve always wanted to fly in my 2 favorite aircraft. The SR-71 Blackbird and this plane, The Concord. To bad I never will
'We haven't seen anything since.'
Son of Concorde: Am I a joke to you?
You have to travel west to go back in time, leave London at 10am get to New York at 9am.
I have friends in London that used to ride it over and they said it was a hard bumpy ride but over in 3 hrs was worth it - plus the number of celebrities they would see on each ride was worth the $8k ride.
One of the main reasons why the concorde was abandoned is actually due to noise, it was even banned from flying over land due to its super sonic speeds and sonic booms.
Concorde was so Iconic
My grandmother and my mum flew on one of these for my grandmothers 70th birthday. Ive heard alot of stories from my mum on the topic and i wish they were still around today
The Concord was unpopular for how loud it was as well, people who lived near airports had to hear it as it was low to the ground and going supersonic. AirFrance flight 4950 was caused by a piece of a DC-10-30, which took of before it, slicing the tire of the Concord and the rubber was sent flying into the left wing, rupturing a fuel tank. Even after AirFrance flight 4590, the Concord was said to be one of the safest aircraft in the world, the main problems were the cost, for both manufacture, and people who wanted to fly on it, and the noise it made.
I've been inside that plane, but it was at the duxford IWM
Sweet! I went to the Filton one
@@copley_hill_shed_56c cool!
"And the snoot would droop"
Also the planes could fit way less people inside the planes, and since the cost to make this flight was so high, ticket prices would be absurd.
Still remember when the Concorde came to the Oakland airport. The sonic boom was impressive. Wouldn't hear another until I moved to Orlando and the shuttle returned to the Cape.
If you ever want to see this plane in real life today. It is displayed at the Brooklands Motor Museum in the UK. You can stand right underneath it and I’ve been there many times! Very cool plane!
Thanks to the Concorde - Phil Collins did a concert in Hyde Park and then flew over to do same concert in Central Park later that eve!
It was Live Aid, so he didn’t make any money. It was all for charity.
Also a major factor that led to the failure of the Concorde is that, a lot of people would prefer laying down on a flat seat(Business & First class) for 5 hours to get themselves rested than to sit in a seat that is similar to Economy on the Concorde for 3 hours when the prices were similar. Some cases even showed the Concorde was more expensive than a business class or first class seat
We all love the Concorde
My grandparents went on the concord. They took it over the Bristol channel and went supersonic and came back
I’m pretty sure the real reason the Concord program was shut down was because of the rolling sonic booms that followed the plane and disturbed local residents. It was banned from several airports and began losing revenue because of the limited flight options.
One of the main reasons it was discontinued was because as it flew over head it made deafening repeated sonic booms as a result of its speed which resulted in those who lived on its routes being angry and the companies narrowed down the routes they could take until it reaches none
It was mainly to do with the crash (I like near a aerospace with a concord in it)!
There was nothing like seeing a Concorde in flight I remember being devastated when they decommissioned them there's talk of bringing them back I really hope someone finds a way to get them back in the Sky
It was also canceled becuse of when it passes the sound barrier it craes a loud explotion type of sound. This sound on the ground can be compared with the sound of a handgun fireing, a lawnmower produce 90db, sporting events/live music 105db.
When a jet is breaking the sound barrier it produce a sound of 200db. If you are tailing behind it its enough to damage your intearnal organs.
Video of a concorde breaking the sound barrier:
ua-cam.com/video/5MCETiKCLhc/v-deo.html
"make sure ur following me"
Him: "I think somebodys watching me"
Another reason they dont use them anymore is because they only used them other oceans because they were extremely loud.
Another issue with the Concorde was the sounds it would make flying at super sonic speeds, it would sometimes shatter windows and cause temporary hearing loss.
And so, some states and countries banned the Concorde from ever flying in their airspace.
Another reason is that severely limited this plane was because of the sonic booms these planes would imit flying over populated areas. So they would have been limited to Transoceanic flights.
It still looks beautiful
The droop snoot...
The snoop drooped
I lived about 30 miles outside Washington in the 70s. The concord would break the sound barrier as it passed over my house literally shaking the ground.
you forgot to mention tmr insanely high seat prices, the flex in the cabin at altitude, the warmness in the cabin due to the friction of the plane moving through the air. and the noise complaints from the cities below that operated the Concorde
Droop snoot.
A droop snoot?
Yeah, the snoot would droop.
"Sadly a crash in 2000 gave them a bad reputation and they had to cancel the program soon after"
Boeing : *eating popcorn in the background*
By backwards in time he means it could take off in London at 10am fly supersonic for 3 hours and land in Newyork at 8am the same morning! Effectively gaining 2 hours
It could travel faster than the time zones moved
Aviation took a huge step backwards when this beautiful plane was retired in 2003
The concord also wasn't allowd to fly over land in supersonic because of the sonic boom being soo loud and strong it would brake window's on the groind and damige hearing in some cases. So the concord was only allowed to fly over water and small bits of land if it was gowing slower than supersonic.
It's crazy how most stories about the Concorde fail to mention how bloody loud the thing was. I mean, it needed to go supersonic, so that means hella big and powerful engines, which means really fucking loud.
I used to marvel at this plane’s beauty whenever I was lucky enough to be on the Belt Parkway as it made its daily approach to JFK at 4 PM .
"Far ahead of its time"... 12 years *after* the XB-70 bomber.
The "back in time" thing happened when flying westward. It was faster than the rotation of the earth, so it could take off at, say, 9:00AM local time from London, and land in New York at 8:00AM local time, ready for second breakfast and a long, slow trip from the airport.
(Part of the reason it failed is that short flying time doesn't reduce overall trip time so much, especially when there are few flights.)
*The Concorde featured a droop snoot…*
The bombadier 8000 reached supersonic speed.This could be the next concorde
Economic viability and massive acceptability by public is always a necessity to situational of product.
Concord was one of the best planes to ever live and there still is some around the world. But what you said at the end was incorrect the program never shut down. They stopped flying the planes and then a upgrade for then came out some planes where converted and letter stopped for safety conserins but the super sonic program has not stopped and they still trying to find out how to make a newer plane. Concorde alpha alpha is deployed in the Edinburgh museum of flight with other great, epic aircraft and if you in Edinburgh I recommend seeing it as it is still great if your not into aircraft.
The "droop snoot" lol
Rip Concorde you will be remembered Ina viation history.
It’s sad because, that was the Concorde’s only crash and it wasn’t due to the jet itself
Crossout: eh, I can just use hovers, trailmakers, what say you?
Trailmakers: FAST
This plane did not have a bad reputation only because of 1 fatal crash, plus the crash of the Concorde was caused due to poor runway maintenance
A time travel flight is Albania to Greece.
We need it back
I like how some vintage tech overpowers some modern tech. The main problem is always cost.
It’s an aeroplane, not a plane, a plane is a woodworking tool.
United is like “boom?” “Yes Rico, boom”
There's a story at the museum of flight in Scotland (which has one of the many concords) of its short flight times meaning you could have breakfast in several major countries around the world, and still be back to the starting point in time for a late lunch
The main reason it was discontinued and made illegal was due to it always causing a sonic boom which kept smashing car and building windows. Also hurting peoples ears.
You forgot about the supersonic boom which lowered its reputation overall, cause so many people are complaining about it being louder than a normal plane
In Germany we have the "Technik Museum Sinsheim" wich means "Technology Museum Sinsheim" in there u can see and even go into the concord and even in the Russian equivalent the Tupolev
