  • For the latest installment in our Aircraft of the Month series, we end the year with one of the most legendary aircraft in our collection, the Concorde. A joint project between the British and French governments, production on the Concorde began in 1962 after both countries signed the Anglo-French agreement. During its time in the sky, the Concorde made approximately 80,000 flights between British Airways and Air France. Learn more about this iconic aircraft alongside Senior Tour Guide Dylan Cupolo.

    Out of the twenty that were produced, I’ve had the chance to board six, one in which I flew, the two that are in le Bourget Museum, the fuselage part that is kept in Dugny, the one that stood at Athis Mons for years, the one at Aeroscopia Toulouse museum, and I hope I get to be in New York someday when the Intrepid example is opened to the public, it wasn’t, the last three times I came…

    I find it sad and ironic that the airplane which the PEOPLE OF NEW YORK fought SO HARD to keep out of NYC airports in the 1970s is now permanently located in that very same city. Given their hatred of this aircraft, I would have sent it to a museum elsewhere!

    • @qasimmir7117
      @qasimmir7117 2 роки тому

      No, not at all. New York deserve to have a Concorde exhibit. The people that were against it were few and far between, most people when Concorde came to New York loved it. JFK became the most Concorde populated airport in the world, and the JFK tower crews and staff loved its company. It was only a handful of people and a few government officials that were against it.

      Scott, there's a difference between a jet aircraft on static display, engines off, making no noise at all, and one that is on final approach not more than a few hundred feet above rooftops. I used to stand at the end of the JFK runway just to hear and feel the enormous power those engines could generate. Once it flew over I could get back in my car and drive off. The people whose houses were built long before the Concorde was a speck of carbon on a designer's vellum were not so lucky

      Mike Killian what exactly does that mean? I flew on Concorde 5 x, and I didn't notice any plexiglass over the walls.. could you explain what you mean by the whole of the rear is covered in plexiglass?
      Sorry to ask, just a little confused that's all. Thanks!

    • @RB747domme
      @RB747domme 4 роки тому +2

      And just to add to my previous comment, why would you cover an aircraft in plexiglas? What purpose would that serve?
      Sure, the windows had plexiglas on the inside, which served many purposes, mainly to allow cool air to pass through the gap (as the external windows could reach 100·C) but other than there was no other plexiglas on the interior.
      So he said nothing misleading at all in this presentation.

    It's so shame full to see how much care and love the Intrepid Concorde has been given in New York and the people in Heathrow London can't even get the Turtle Wax out and give Concorde G-BOAD a good wash and wax, even the Boeing Concorde is given more love, shame on you Heathrow, From a man in Bristol home of the British Concorde's.

    pretty sure the cruising speed is not mach 2.0, it's more like mach 1.75 (mach 2 must be the top speed)
    according to the web it's 2158km/h which is approx 1.75 x the speed of sound.... you would get too much turbulence at mach 2.0

    • @vinaykumarvutukuru7279
      @vinaykumarvutukuru7279 4 роки тому +4

      DarkShroom no it is not. The cruising speed is Mach 2.02. EXACTLY 2.02 times the speed of sound. Also, there is no turbulence above fl485 or 48500 feet. Speed does not cause turbulence.

    • @RB747domme
      @RB747domme 4 роки тому +6

      It switched off the after burners at m1.7. After that, it continue to accelerate on dry thrust to mach 2.02. Don't forget the speed of sound changes with temperature and pressure.

    • @qasimmir7117
      @qasimmir7117 2 роки тому

      Completely wrong. Concorde flights were smooth especially at mach 2, and yes mach 2 was its cruising speed. Concorde’s true top speed is unknown because of the compressional heating.
