    She may have been noisy but she was the most elegant and beautiful plane ever built. The ppl of Britain still miss her!

      Huge power is vital, to reach those speeds, and huge power produces huge sound levels. Twenty years later, they still cannot produce another flying machine, that can do what Concorde did, any quieter or cleaner.

    awesome sound for that camera...I love it....the deep bass as he passes for landing. Had both sub woofers going and it shook the house.

    Absolutely Beautiful Machine.... She'll always be Number 1, I still struggle to believe that in her 34 years & 100% safety record she's gone because of 1 accident that wasn't even her fault.... a crying shame!!!

    Gentlemen, Thanks for posting such a nice video of Concorde, its take me back in September 1995, when I flown on BA Concorde flight (special promotion flight for Travel Agents only) from Jeddah to London in just 3:30 hours where else a normal Boeing flight journey is 9 hours

    Such a shame that a beautiful airplane was wasted in that manor. One of the safest airline types ever produced, most beautiful ever produced, and most well-known ever produced. Very much a shame that it was wasted like this. retired very much before it's time

    The pilots must have been tempted to request a go-around. Just to be able to ram home the throttles on those 4 reheating Olympus engines and feel the Concorde surge one last time!

    Concorde shows that when they want, English and French people can do something together and do great , rare but true !

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn 15 років тому

    They weren't "grounded b/c of one accident", they were grounded due to a design fault which left them highly vulnerable to tire-blowouts. 52 blowouts in 24 years, 29 of which damaged fuel tanks.... and like always in aviation: nothing was seriously done about it until lives were lost.
    Had that vulnerability been addressed back in 1979 when it first happened (badly!) then we'd probebly have seen Concorde fly much further into this decade than she did.

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn 15 років тому

    That's completely untrue:
    AA's worst accident ever (AA191) saw that airline have to ground its entire DC10 fleet (as well as every airline's DC10s) due to a design fault concerning hydraulic line placement. They weren't allowed to fly again until the problem (both structurally and maintenance-wise) was rectified.
    Try again bub.

  • @rajgandu83
    @rajgandu83 14 років тому

    it was expenses, economy class of concorde costed close to first class on regular aircrafts, hence not many people were able to afford it, it used alot more fuel because it went on supersonic speeds, plus not many airports were prepared to handle concordes as concorde required that no buildings be close to the runway..some plz add on and increase my knowledge too..one thing for sure tho..she was a gorgeous bird..!!

    Hey, you missed the 'for now' on the end of there. Am I the only one who's hopeful that there will be improvements in technologies, and whole new scientific discoveries maybe in our lifetimes, maybe hundreds of years from now, that will make Concorde a worthy first chapter in a very long story, not the end.
    And anyone who might be inclined to list me some reasons why I'm a fool for hoping that might have misunderstood the concept of 'hope'.

    i flew on concorde in 1996 and got to go in the cockpit. Pilot told me then they were going to be out of service within 10 yrs. I nicked theemergency escape pamphlet that was in the seat pocket and the duty free book as a souvenier hahaha

    from my point of view......just because of one crash they stop the concorde service for good. Actually it was not concorde mistake at all, it was continental debris on the runaway...... well continental from USA.....This is the flying machine ever built in the universe........wish to make it to fly again it's not impossible.....

    It was a shame they ever took such a sucessful plane out of service, only due to pollution, noise and cost. If only BA etc could have put a bit of funds into updating Concorde. But who knows, whats the next supersonic transportation going to be? However I don't think anything will come as close to the beauty of Concorde.

    @unhooked25 13 років тому

    It was somewhat of a shame to see the concorde be taken out of service, but I heard on the news it's fate was due to a decline in revenue against a backdrop of rising fuel and maintainence costs.

  • @einsteinboricua
    @einsteinboricua 15 років тому

    They've all been officially decommissioned. All hydraulics systems have been disconnected therefore, no rudder or wing control. There are rumors of maybe in the future reconnecting them (is that even possible?) and fly them, but for now, it's future is to be posing as a monument.

  • @Tilan123
    @Tilan123 14 років тому

    @BringEllisTheHoriZon damn. i'll check it out mate. i heard from many pilots that supersonic flight won't really happen at this time due to costs etc. and also BA and AF couldnt wait to stop flying it because it was so xpensive to run and governments had to support their usage. also, isnt the technology out of date?

  • @BigGcapri
    @BigGcapri 15 років тому

    i dont see funding as an issue here as richard branson of the virgin empire, was willing to buy the fleet and fund it but for some mysterious reason was refused. If jealousy is not a factor explain why the us could not except concorde and had to try and build their own version of it.

    Technically Concorde was far from a failure. It received a number of technologies which are now on board of modern airliners. Only it did this years maybe decades before. It was atechnological marvel, killed by economics, yes maybe. About the A380 how could one call it worhless, I wonder?! Yes, it is more of a classic airliner, but technically it is quite amazing. Do you work in the aero sector?

    Bottom line is the Americans is afraid of being left behind in the technology......concorde is the best jet ever fly in the universe and the technology eventhough almost 60 years of age but it still can perform well untill now. It's only an excuse from one crash and totally put them to stop. in fact from the 1st prototype till the crash, only one in the record and that is consider best history of aviation. Nowadays Boeing and Airbus facing big problem in producing the aircraft, lots of delay.

    Which only happened because some passengers began to doubt Concorde after that 1 accident and started using other Airlines instead, inevitably BA & AF started losing a little profit & so decided to dump the entire fleet.... the sorry sons of Bitches! Concorde, still the most gorgeous machine ever built by the hand of man & the only Aircraft of its kind is gone forever all because of that 1 accident that wasn't even her fault! BA & AF were making plenty of profit on her before & up to that crash!
