Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel. Today´s video will be the beginning of a video series about the amazing supersonic commercial airliner CONCORDE.
First and most importantly I want to thank the Brooklands museum, the home of British motorsport and aviation, for inviting me to there fantastic site.
How could I resist in making a video about the airplane that got me all excited about aviation as a little boy?
I want to thank all volunteers at the Brooklands museum for showing around and providing me with access to all their facilities. Therefore I want to donate all the earnings made with the upcoming series to the volunteers at Brooklands. Without your help and work, this marvel of aviation history would otherwise be consigned to the history books.
I hope you enjoy this tour around Concorde and make sure to watch the follow up videos to this series.
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe

I was the photographer hired to photograph the Concord's first landing in North America (1975) on her trial runs to Gander Newfoundland (where the increased the runway length to 10,000 feet for these tests). An incredible sight, with a short 2 hour turn-around time, over and over and over. I was sorry to see her stop flying.
I’m from Newfoundland and have seen the multiple exhibits on it in the North Atlantic aviation museum

Lucky guy. You must have a pile of amazing photos.

When I was a child I lived only about a mile from Dulles Airport in VA and got to see the Concord take off twice a week. It would rumble our house. It was a true modern marvel. Great video Captain Joe.
what is va

i cant get used to the fact that this airplane has existed and has flown, it feels and looks so surreal... ahead of its time by decades... wow.i'm to young to ever have seen one live and i think i would cry if i did. this thing is just so very special
Unfortunately you missed a spectacular show , I saw it live at the Farnborough air show when concord first came into use , also even though about 20 miles away, I lived on the flight path of Heathrow Airport, and everyday around 3 pm (as far as I can remember) concord flew over the house I lived . You alway knew it was concord , by the sound of those engines .
In 1962,they designed this incredible aircraft ON PAPER and made it real. In 2019 we cant get the 737 MAX sorted.
1899:In the future,there will be Flying Cars.
1903:This is the first Flying Model,in History.*1899 People ask what is the Flying Model*
1969:This is the Tallest Plane which reaches to mach 2.02 in History,known as "The 3 Wheeled Flying Car".
1899 People in 1969:We knew it!
Point.
True
Engineers had computers in late 1950s.
@@user-ky6vw5up9m Unsure that any system of this era had any cad nor simulation capabilities. Of course vacuum tube calculators already existed, but that is all. The first IBM systemas cuold serve just scientific calculation. But nothing else. They didnt even had a screen, just card input and printer output.
The concorde will always be my favorite plane. I miss it so much.
Did you fly this plane?.
Why they stop using them.?
@@beatapailicchi3333 I never got to experience a flight on one. In short, they stopped using them because it became unrealistic too. Concorde flight were expensive, and the program was facing issues, then after 9/11 everyone was scared to fly, the demand was just too low, so they retired them.
@@user-bj1fs8ev8i it became unprofitable bc they made sonic booms illegal over most civilian airspace so they could only ever do certain routes
I remember the Concorde coming to my town's airshow (which happens to be this weekend) back in 1986. During part of its routine it did several low passes parallel to the crowd. On it's last pass it turned at the midpoint to face away from the crowd and then laid down the throttle and afterburners that were pointed right at us. My entire body shook, and the crowd all had quite the smile as we regained our hearing.
If the 747 is the Queen of the Skies, the Concorde is just the Goddess of All Flying Machines.
@@roksandakosmajac4140 Tesla is the magnetic Einstein, and he was hot AF.
a380 is the queen of the sky. Search for Airbus 380
@@tractorguytractorguy4920 the queen of the skies has always been the 747. The A380 is considered just the largest passenger aircraft. It's more comfortable than the Jumbo, but it cannot get into the same kind of places that the 747 can, with her military design.
Rico yes because its an traditional plane and have been flying for a long time at long distances
And the Goddess of the road was the Citroen DS - for low flying, in style and comfort. Also a ground breaking machine, this one floated on nitrogen gas.
4:15 - the amount of joy those kids having being there seeing all those aircraft...awesome
I am a plane lover and every time I go to brooklands museum (twice a week) I go straight to the planes and the 4d red arrows experience
My father worked on the Concorde for 19 years. He also knew Brian Trubshaw. Thanks Capt Joe for the videos.
Your father is a genius.
My father worked on the wing design for Concorde. He also know Brian Trubshaw. Later Brian Trubshaw came to our house in Tehran where we were living at the time, when Concorde was doing its round the world sales trip and flew into Tehran Mehrabad airport, in the presence of the Shah! A few years later my wife and I would go to Kew Gardens in London at 4pm (I think) to watch her come overhead to land in Heathrow. Fantastic sight and sound.
Captain Joe you're the BEST!! Two of the best things in life brought together! The Concorde and someone who knows about planes and is willing to share their( in this case his) knowledge about planes.
Alpha Delta thank you very much😉
I'm a simple man. I see Captain Joe uploaded a video. I read Concorde. I realize Joe + Concorde = Awesomness.
Like.
3 stripes is fo, not Captain

Exactly same here
I’m sure the guys never heard that before.
who the fack is joe
My late parents flew on her many times from Heathrow to JFK, they truly enjoyed the Concord.
I was lucky enough to have had a chance to see Concorde take off and that was in the Eastern Bloc _before_ the fall of the Iron Curtain!
Over the years, Concorde visited Leipzig/Halle airport (back then _East_ Germany) several times, during the Leipzig trade fairs and people still talk about it today! At the time it was said that crew and passengers of the supersonic jetliner needed less time to get from Paris to Leipzig than they needed to get from the airport to the city center. 🙂
Anyway, seeing Concorde take off in fading daylight was an unforgettable experience! With the engines on take-off thrust making the Earth beneath your feet shake and flames from the afterburners clearly visible as a fiery tail the same length as the plane itself, this was not just a plane starting its flight, it was a show, an event that you're just bound to remember for the rest of your life!
As a young lad I was lucky to first hear then see a Concorde take off at Hethrow in 1983. We were in the oversize baggage loading docs right next to the fence & runway. The sound of those engines was incredible.
I envy you. That must have been something.
it used to fly over my house daily before it ended...what a fantastic roar as I sipped a wine...I'm no longer there but miss England...........and look at this Captain Cutie.........so intelligent
proteusx Oh yea, because gangsters give people better jobs, and make North Korea shut up
I’m only twelve however I’m an aviation enthusiast I wish I was alive back then to see the concord my dad tells me story’s about how it frequently came to Gander NL
Captain Joe, I'm not a license pilot, but I'm facinated by aerospace travel. The Concorde and the American SR-71 Blackbird have always fueled my imagination. Your first two videos are very informative, thank you.
The most beautiful passengerjet ever built: a MASTERPIECE!
true, same as moonshots, they must have been clever back in the 60's !
In mu opinion the jumbo jet / b747 is my favourite plane
Such a gorgeous majestic plane - a credit to mankind's brilliance of
aeronautical engineering. I love this gorgeous bird.
My gosh she is just so beautiful! I will always love her , we have one here in Manchester !
"Make sure to perform a touch-and-go at my IG account"
That was so smooth and topic related that I wish I could like the video twice, just for that.
The concord was grounded 2 years after I was born... It is still one of the most amazing planes I know... This video is so amazing

The answer is because there are many more people interested in shitposting, rather than people who are thirsty of getting more knowledge about amazing things.
Many years ago when I was a hard core "road warrior", a unique situation presented itself where I could have spent about $800 out of my own pocket to grab the Concorde back to the U.S. It never occured to me that the plane would go away, and I have always regretted thinking more about a short term budget than the chance to have a one-of-a-kid flight.
About a year or two before the Paris accident, I quoted a one-way flight, just out of curiosity, from JFK to LHR, and guess what? Cost was around USD$10K.
My favorite Passenger Aircraft: The Concorde
My favorite Military Aircraft: The SR-71
@Sajjad Is Epic Sexy, High-Speed, Planes
There's a story on here of an SR-71 crew approaching the USA, when they noticed they were catching up to a plane travelling at Mach 2 - Assuming it could only be a military plane they tried to contact it to no avail - On closer inspection they realised it was Concorde .... the SR pilot commented that THEY were strapped in, wearing their flying suits and helmets while the Concorde passengers were reclining in air-conditioned comfort and sipping Moet !

I used to set my watch my this going over my house not far from Heathrow around 7pm each night. I never failed to stop on my runs to marvel at it. Such an old plane and it still looks like something from the future. Great film Captain Joe! Keep up the good work.
I met some guys who worked on wind tunnel testing of the Olympus engines at RAE Farnborough in the 60s. They had to simultaneously simulate altitudes of 60k ft, temperatures of -60C and supersonic airspeeds while slewing the engines to different angles of attack. Apparently, the facility required so much power during these tests that they had to inform the electricity generators when they were about to commence so they didn't start blacking out the surrounding areas.

Space shuttle blows up: No big deal, we'll power on
Concorde explodes: OH MY GOD! Cancel everything!!
If they were to wait, I'm sure everything would've been spectacular with the Concorde. Expensive, but worth it. Granted, I'd be annoying hearing four military grade jet engines per plane flying over my house and school.
It was not the only reason, and while NASA is a governmental agency dealing with space flight, the companies that cancelled their orders were businesses that had to make a profit and could decide for themselves whether it was worth the risk. Apparently, it wasn't, and later developments proved them right. Air France never made a profit on the Concorde, and even BA struggled after a few years, and eventually, they ran a deficit on the planes. They were in operation well into the 2000s, after all, so it's not like the entire thing was cancelled.
Economics killed both the Space Shuttle and the Concorde.
The only reason why Space Shuttle lasted a few years longer is because it had no competitor for manned travel to space for US people.
But it finally went to the museum once it was clearly established that it was useless and dangerous while automated flights and robots (with remote control from earth) could do way more in space than humans in cumbersome spacesuits.
Concorde had a low capacity (100 passengers only), high ticket price and high fuel consumption compared to Airbus and Boeing planes operating on the same destinations. Only 2 companies used it and only because they were forced to by their respective governments.
it was not the only reason, America banned supersonic flights over American soil
The Concorde was a dying plane before the AF4590 crash. It was nearly 25 years old, was terribly loud and inefficient, had astronomical maintenance costs, could only fly very specific transatlantic routes, was based on 1960s technology, required a 3-person crew, didn't have a glass cockpit, and couldn't compete with the increasingly luxurious first-class cabins in modern trans-Atlantic aircraft. Great engineering feat but it wasn't a great product anymore for airlines or consumers by 2003.
I agree. It was a technological marvel.
I've actually been there my self I did the tour of the plane...im a bit of a plane lover ESPECIALLY concorde love at first site...i bought some stuff from the shop for memories and it wasn't quiet long ago I visit there. It was for my birthday.....best birthday ever.
Such an amazing plane. Used to love going to Heathrow to watch them take off and land. My grandparents used to live on the west Wales coast and we would hear the boom as Concorde went sonic it was brilliant. Concorde is a noisy one, but it was beautiful and did what no other plane could. It actually kind of amazes me that we have never replaced it with something similar.
:'( The nostalgia is... intoxicating

Lol
So amazing it's design. Way ahead of it's time. Incredible a time when they didn't have all the computers like now. 💗
Engineers had access to computers in late 1950s.

This man worked for British airways and flew Concorde
*This man is a Legend*
My Father was an Avionics Engineer for British Airways, he looked after the Concordes, his favourite girl is Foxtrot, aka Foxy Lady, she has a personality, still has it even sitting in her Hangar in Filton. We lived in Gerrards Cross, Bucks, so we were in the flight path, heard her before you saw her . I will always love the fleet
Thanks Joe ! What a great explanation of the best plane ever made. I never had the chance to travel with it.. What a pity. In 1996 it landed in the small Aeroport of Beauvais France (where I live) what an even. Didn't expect it that few years later they would stop it following the Gonesse Crash. RIP Concorde
"As beautiful as Princess Diana " , with a nose like Concorde I'd say more like Barbara Strisand.
@Mar Blox Which makes her much much better!
Edit: I mean Diana is... well was... much better.
shot fired bruh
"as beautiful as Princess Diana" maybe just as dead
I was thinking it looks more like a mosquito
Agreed. That plane was ugly af....blame the French for that....the Boeing 2707 Wasa far superior and more beautiful aircraft.
I agree this plane is beautiful and something i have admired since childhood.. but another jet that is also as beautiful is tupelov 144, would be great if u could also make a show about tu 144...
Also another beauty is the Blackbird
Love the Concorde I got to watch its final flight over the Bristol suspension bridge and it's also been turned into a museum at Filton airfield so I was also lucky enough to see it everyday on my way to and from work
And me as I'm from bristol
I was out rabbit shooting on a farm near Bacchus Marsh Victoria Australia August 1975 when the Concorde flew over Sub-sonic it was jaw dropping! Like something out of star wars, with the squared engine pods. It was low and slow I'll never forget it. I'm sure the rabbits didn't/won't forget (I didn't get one)
I remember one sunny afternoon back in 1997. I was in west London Concorde flying over towards London HR airport. To a 12 year old boy its was such a experience to see such a beautiful aircraft flying subsonic over the city. With its landing gear down. Then many years later I watched one of its last fight over the M4 as it come to land London LHR...
It's "as beautiful as Princess Diana"
It sure is!!!!👍👍👍
And as dead as too
John Ennis That is disrespectful to the royal family
More like Audrey Hepburn.
@@anhtuanleminh1149 I mean, it probably was them that set her up.
I've been on the static Concorde at RAF Duxford and I was really surprised at how small she is inside, although very luxurious for the time, by today's First Class cabin areas standards it feels very restrictive and pokey. But, outside standing under her wings, I couldn't believe how big those Rolls Royce Olympus engines are...... they're absolutely enormous. 🇬🇧🇫🇷✌✌
Seats are comfy though and the view at its highest cruising altitude is incredible
It crashed like 200meters away from my house unfortunately I wasn’t born then but my parent lived in that house for decades like 20-25 and they described it has a extremely loud deafening boom shaking the walls
Edit :it was actually 700meters +
Don't you mean it was actually LIKE 700meters +. That is if you are speaking the truthfully as it is spelled metres by both the French and UK, like.
u really think anyone is going to believe you? smh, what lies
Atomic_Typh00n tbh I don’t give no shit if you don’t believe me cos this is the internet you don’t know if something is fact or fictional so you can fuck off .
Atomic_Typh00n one did crash
You couldn’t just correct the 200m? You had to write ‚edit...’?
Always loved the look of Concorde! I've always known about it since a young age too. My Grandad's second wife made it known to her friends that she'd probably marry the man who bought her first class Concorde tickets to America, so my Grandad went out and bought two tickets! They were happily married till my Grandad passed away age 90-something, just got reminded of that from this video :)
I flew on the Concorde in the late 70s from Dallas to Washington. Very special.
Beautiful Machine
Hey joe, this is really a great video ......and.... Umm.... After this can u please explain about diffrent signs and markings on A taxi ways..... Please!!
He recently covered the numbers!
?
check out doofer911. he covered that topic
Very nice video. A bit fast on why only few planes were built. It was mainly due to the noise and the American campaigns against it as they didn't have anything to compete. The Tupolev crash wasn't of significant impact as it was a very different plane. It would be like explaining how Boeing didn't sell because an Airbus crashed. It doesn't add up.
Exactly!
It would have put people off because it scared them off the whole concept. Would be an interesting world if those other airlines had kept their orders though!
The crash was also only three months before the 1973 oil crisis began and oil prices went nuts. So it's perfectly possible that the crash was a convenient excuse to bail out if future was at risk.
Remember - most airline passengers can't tell an Airbus from a Boeing, or a 747 from a 737. If the newspapers ran headlines talking about a supersonic plane crash, do you think the average customer would have known which one was which?
Radek C but you do NOT. Do high "G" moves,in an aircraft as such, so it simply FOLDED up, and fell out of the sky. IF you had a death wish, you could crunch even a Cessna 150 the same way, you in the seat, becomes AN ANVIL, , like the ones blacksmiths use.
My late Father in Law was a Technician on 002 based at Fairford for testing, as a child I would see Concorde 002 flying above not knowing my future FiL was on board. Many years later we still have lots of Concorde memorabilia, photos, world test flight logs, overalls, books, & a signed photo from Mr Trubshaw who was lead test pilot. Without Concorde I would never have met my wife.
I was lucky enough to have the plane I was on pull in to the gate next to the gate the Concorde was in. It was many years ago, but it was such a sight! Seeing it up close and personal was awesome.
This plane defined the callsign for all British Airways - Speedbird
No, all BAs were called Speedbird long before Concorde.
Fantastic video about my favourite plane from my favourite pilot :) Thanks Joe. Can't wait for the second part. Any ideas when it'll be??
Luke Milner I'm assuming it'll be next week

Nice video! As an ageing Anglo, I appreciate Concorde was a remarkable engineering achievement in its day but also accept it had noise issues insuperable in engines of that era. It was pretty polluting and it was a thirsty beast too _but_ it was also fabulously beautiful, a source of national pride in two co-operating countries, amazingly fast and and one of a kind. The fact a Russian rip-off based on industrial espionage crashed in Paris and thereby damned the Franco-British sales drive was not Concorde's fault. The blame for the tragic Concorde crash in Paris also lay elsewhere, after a metal lump fell off another plane due to sloppy foreign maintenance. Concorde wasn't perfect - but, when it went out of service, it still looked ahead of its time.
When I left school in 1979 I landed and apprenticeship at Sperry Gyroscope in Bracknell. I learned that all of the hybrid microcircuits that form the avionics of Concord were made by Sperry in Bracknell, my older brother used to work for a small engineering company also in Bracknell called Premier Precision that made parts for the nose cone. Further to this the heat shield in the nose use 5 layers of gold, yes gold which is the only metal that can be beaten thin enough to be made transparent enough to make the heat shields.
It's things like the Concorde that prove that back in the 60's and 70's we had the most creative people in designing and building things. We went to the moon and had planes that could fly from London to New York in under 3 hours. It was so ahead of it's time we still haven't figured out ways of doing things like this that makes sense today. Great stuff.
I remember having to shut down all conversations twice a day in my office when this monster went overhead.
And that was in Esher, 10 miles away from Heathrow so she was probably several thousand feet up by then.
Amazing
My Father worked on the Concorde fleet in the 90s, :) we weren't far from Heathrow either, Gerrards Cross, so under the flight path, beautiful lady. :) we have stationary and glasses feom the aircraft
I do not comment usually but this is an amazing video. Keep up the great work!
Let me lead the world in thanking you for that rare comment. This Sir, has been an absolute privilege.
The Concorde was a beautiful aircraft.
It looks advanced enough to have been designed by Gerry Anderson.
Yeah Fireball XL5!
I used to live overlooking the Thames and Tower Bridge - Concorde used to fly in left to right towards Tower Bridge 17:15 every evening.
Also when the Royal Yacht Britannia was stolen from the Queen it sailed past my window on its way to Scotland.
Also Peirce Bond sailed past my window too and bits of the London Eye ... many cruise ships too.
And of course the Reigny Party the Queen gave was outside my window too.
In Cyprus now retired
Pause at 0:59 It looks so happy! The cockpit is the eyes, the "droop snoot" makes the smile, and the lights are the teeth!
Captain joe is the only guy i know who runs 1440p XD
I'm a volunteer there yay, its good fun, just not there too often, i would if i could though, ive spent most my time around the VC10's.
12 or so years ago Joe, I worked on a program for channel 4 where we done some filming on the VC10. Upon packing up and going to leave, I was trying to find somewhere suitable to go toilet as the muesum was closed. I then found a ton load of wooden crates and decided to be nosy and found it was parts for Concorde. I need to head back there and see her back in once piece, I don't live too far from Brookland I live near Heathrow.
Stephen O'Connell yes definitely worth it, I'm volunteering tomorrow and Sunday, I advise you book your Concorde experience at the beginning of the day if you intend on going inside it on a busy day
Joe Wilson Thanks for the heads up. Inside or outside. Just be nice to get up close to Concorde again. She started my love for aviation. Just nice to stand there and remember all those departures and landings over my house. I live close to Hatton Cross. So used to get a great view of her :).
Stephen O'Connell so I believe that there is a place to buy the tickets inside the museum but I would check with the people in the gift shop where you come in, but you don't have to pay to just stand by it or underneath it, just your normal admission to the museum, its to go inside that comes at an extra charge, its great to see aircraft come in for landings, my college is at the end of farnborough runway and you get jets landing there a-lot of the time
British Airways should had been ordered to sell concorde to virgin & KEEP IT FLYING!
I could listen to captain Joe talk about aviation all day!
Didn't fly in the concorde, but saw it twice at airports in France and UK. Beautiful piece of machinery.
Don't forget the oil crisis at the beginning of the 1970's and the rising fuel prices that doomed the Concorde.
Concorde is an amazing aircraft! I'm so lucky to have seen it, even as a teenager. Living so near it is amazing too! How long are you staying in England?
I saw it many many times living 4 miles from Heathrow, it made the glasses on my kitchen table rattle when it took off...
Who the heck *dared* disliking this video?!
A Fucktard.
People who thought Lady Di was an ugly pain in the arse, maybe? (I think that, but I still gave it a thumbs up!)
KastaRules they might not want it in there recommend
It should be "Co-Pilot Joe"
rain segaran Alfaran Very Very true
I got to see Concorde fly over filton/patchway Bristol as a child. So so loud but so beautiful
I once saw an Air France Concorde going straight up. It was empty, of course, but it had just departed Leeds-Bradford Airport, flown a very wide circuit, then came back in very fast and low over Rwy 14. About half-way along the runway, he lit his burners and pulled straight up. The only thing he didn't do was to roll the aircraft around its axis. A sight I have never seen before or since, and of course will never see again. Simply awesome. The hairs are standing up on my neck from the memory as I type this :D
At 10:06 I tought he was gonna say “I’ll be giving u this plane”😐 🤦♂️
Thanks Joe, great video! I was at Duxford Museum a couple of weeks ago and saw a demonstration of the nose movement, really fascinating! They demonstrate it once a month if any of your subs are interested?
Jim Saberton Interesting, I didn't know they did that! I spent a full day at Duxford last year, and quickly realized that I would have needed at least two more days to cover it all...
This is what happens when just a fraction of us work together! Imagine if we all worked together :-)
crmercer - but let's not include the French this time. 😉
Mark Fox why not?
@@markfox1545 Um I’d be skeptical of the Americans than the French. At least the EU doesn’t slap ITAR regulations just to prevent educated foreigners from getting jobs they deserve in the US.....
Crmercer it'd be like the "what my mum thinks Africa would look like if I finished all my veggies" meme
@@user-ky6vw5up9m hes just joking because it triggers a response - we love and admire the French.
That particular Concorde at the Brooklands museum is actually available for weddings! I kid you not and it was a great day out seeing two mates marry in such a fabulous setting.
I live just around the corner from here, I have visited the Concorde before and been inside what a beautiful machine!
Alright, Alright, you're first, we get it
Nah, we shouldn't care about it
Nah, we shouldn't care about it
Can you do a video on Afterburners and how they work? Love the videos otherwise, keep it up :)
Afterburners are really simple. You're literally just pumping extra fuel into the exhaust pipe. Because the exhaust gases are hot, the fuel ignites on its own. The ignition and expansion of the gases creates additional thrust (20%, I think). It's not very fuel efficient, but it's an easy way to boost performance.
Great explanation. I was kind of more looking at the question from a commercial pilots point of view; we have alla seen it in movies but I was curious how much they are actually used today and when and how etc. Also, I'm pretty sure I would watch @CaptainJoe having sex with stephen hawking just to hear him explain stuff... I wouldn't mind him designing the videos more like Veretasium and beginning by explaining the misconceptions (who btw did a great video on this called "Why do you make people look stupid?")...
No other commercial aircraft use afterburners. They're way too inefficient. Concorde used them only out of necessity. It's also possible that exhaust gases in a turbo-fan engine (vs. Concorde's turbo jets) might not have enough pressure or temperature to ignite fuel sprayed into the exhaust pipe. An additional consideration might be emissions, since afterburners burn more fuel and thus create more pollution.
PCgenius19 they work because after the before squirty fuelly burny burny whoooosh!!
Paul Rubens I was reading your comment and it suddenly occurred to me that obviously there are some military aircraft today that have after burning turbofans, and I realised that you are correct and that low pressure output from a turbo fan may not be conducive for after burning.
So I wonder what method they use to ignite the fuel and or how they keep the pressure hi at the output?
Brilliant! Best video explanation.
Many years ago my geography teacher stopped our lesson and got us to look out of the window to see (and hear!) Concorde flying over...happened at 10am every Wednesday. Great days.
The best part about this plane is how France and Britain have been so belligerent to each other, and have such a strong historical rivalry, but when they actually decided to work together they created one of the most awesome engineering feats in human history. Concorde indeed.
Why can't the Concorde be retrofitted with newer more efficient engines & avionics???
Probably could replace the avionics, but the engines would be a challenge. The Olympus 593 was an engine tailor-made for concorde. No other planes cruise at mach 2 for the majority of the flight (supercruise), and the engines were therefore very specialized. Modern fighter jet engines could perhaps be used, but they are still gas-guzzlers (compared to slower high-bypass turbofans found on most modern airliners.)
Of course, it could be done, but sadly, no one would care enough to spend their money on it, I imagine. :(

Actually the Olympus engines were taken from a long range bomber if I'm not mistaken, the Avro Vulcan I believe. The Concorde's supersonic cruising ability had to do with the revolutionary inlet design.
TSR2 Bomber engines... Harold Wilson scrapped the TSR2 bomber
Yeah, that's right! However, the Concorde engines had afterburners and the advanced inlets, of course. After reading a bit more about it, it's fascinating how much the intakes contributed to the efficiency at supersonic speeds.
TSR2 engines were turbojets and not turbofan.
Hi there joe. I recently flew back home to Germany and have experienced really bad jet lag. So I am wondering how do pilots get over jet lag
If layover is just one or two nights, it's not worth of adjusting. You simply live by home time zone.

Yep, definitely the most beautiful plane ever.
Truly a privilege to have worked Concorde back in my "youth" as id did its weekly summer run between LHR and BGI. Enjoyed seeing her in action, the lady that put the speed into Speedbird. Takeofffs were epic, the whole tower vibrated as she powered up almost a mile away.
Fab video on the most beautiful man made bird in the sky.
1979 before they doubled the ticket price in 1982, at age 26 I had the awesome experience to see the deep indigo of space, the curvature of the earth. Leaving London at 11 am and arriving New York at 9.30 am before you left. At 3 hrs 23 min. less than half the time of a 747 which took over 7 hours.
We flew at the edge of space nearly half a century before Virgin Galactic will take passengers the next step - at 25 times the price of Concorde. Amazing achievement for humanity.
Sounds amazing
Ahh... Concorde, the god of skies.
So king queen and god
A380=king
747=Queen
Concorde=Jesus
@@hi-ot8kf a380 aint a classic Ill say it is the butler
So I guess that means that the B777, B787, B737-MAX, and A350 (possibly plus the B757) could all arguably be considered the "princesses" of the skies, no?
Good one captain.
Well the V1 speed must be like 2 knots with that engines
Imagine taxiing with callouts..
I'm not generally that interested in planes, but there's just something extra special about Concorde that seems to have the ability to intrigue everyone
I remember living in South Oxfordshire in the late '70s when Concorde pilot training was taking place at RAF Brize Norton. Imagine a day of Concorde "touch and go" flying over the house low enough to see the detail on the undercarriage! Don't think my ears every truly recovered! On the days when there was no Concorde flying, then there were the B52's from Fairford ...
why don't current aircrafts have elevons?
They make only sense on an aircraft with a delta wing.
no need they have a separate wing on the tail specifically for an elevator
Adam Woodward I'm not a pilot so excuse the stupid question. But aren't the wings on the tail of a "normal" jet stabilisers rather than elevators.
I thought they were set to "trim" the aircraft so you don't have to keep constant pressure on the "stick/yoke" thingy watsit.
The stabiliser is the Tailfin. The Elevators are the rear wings. well the elevators are actually only the surfaces that move. the whole rear wing can move though to trim the aircraft
Different designs. The Concorde had a delta wing design that lacks rear wings. To compensate for the loss of the rear wing, the elevon was used. Modern aircraft don't need a hybrid elevons design because the ailerons and elevators works just fine, are simpler, less likely to fail, cheaper, and wouldn't require industry-wide retraining.
Beautifol video !!!!👍
How many hours a day is a pilot allowed to fly for?
World of Lewis - Man Utd Vlogs somewhere between 12 and 16 hours without rest
+Ov Ting 10 hours without rest I think I read somewhere, depends on the airline. Most airlines also limit each pilot to 1000 hours a year.
World of Lewis - Man Utd Vlogs 20 minutes I think.
I'm pretty sure that's what it is. That's why they call them the twenty-minuters.
Oh wait.. it is 1918 right now, isn't it? ..Oh Damnit, I set the date wrong on my phone again...
Clint Tapper fucking nerd
I flew on Concorde and there's a stainless steel rail on the floor where your feet are that you jam your foot onto during take off the power was that awesome. Went into the cockpit and everything. Those days are waaaay gone.
You did a great job. Today in the afternoon, I thought about the concorde and her rudes, and couldn´t figure out how they where, the I remembered that you did videos about it, and my problem was solved within minutes, thank you for that.
Thanks America for shutting this wonderful aircraft down.
Give me your uniform and stop flying, you should get a TV show ;-)
taking the wings from a pilot is a tragedy
U can get the uniform.. but u cant get the knowledge
Ich bete für dich, dass du nach den 3 monaten deinen Job behalten kannst, am besten nicht bei eurowings sondern bei lufthansa
I really like the Boeing 2707 especially the -200 variant, I know thw plane was never build but concept was beautifult and very interesting !!!
I never flew on Concorde but I remember seeing it take off at London Heathrow in about 2000 it was a wonderful sight
"Giving the aircraft 20% more power"
Actually it gives the the plane 20% more thrust. While in some cases thrust and power are identical, in acceleration they often diverge.
