I flew Concorde as an upgrade back to the US after spending a week in Britain touring their war museums. When I checked in the lady said they were going to upgrade me and she gave me a big smile. She said follow me so I did. I had no idea where she was taking me. She said “you’re going to love this!” as she took me to the Concorde gate!! I was so excited. I asked her if I could give her a hug, she said of course, and I was on my way!! I will never forget that because the trip itself was a once in a lifetime trip!! I sat beside a very large man but it was ok because I was just tickled to be on Concorde. The food was fantastic and the view was incredible!! Once I landed I found out that the BA 747-400 I was supposed to take had been delayed and had taken off about an hour ago. The world had supersonic travel and we let it slip away.
apiece ofdirt
Not only that, but you most definitely arrived at JFK at least three hours before the 747 you were supposed to be on that had taken off an hour prior.
Good news, aeronautical companies are working on quieter supersonic planes. They will design the plane to mitigate the sonic boom. The planes will be tested over U.S cities and evaluated by the FAA between late 2021 and 2022. NASA hopes The FAA will change its rule on not allowing supersonic flight over land in 2025.
Holy crap I envy you man! I’d give anything just to fly this beauty once....
Great story.
Would be better if it was true.
@@legoofmyleg8856 Nope. It’s true. There’s always a dick in the bunch.
Kinda sad how it stands there, looking outside this big window to the planes that still take off.
It does make you feel sad for her.
In my opinion, the most beautiful and elegant plane to every fly.
William only from the outside inside it looks like an Indian train
stick0 😂😂
@Max Maximus and its dangerous
lol wtf
CLAVIN ZKL It was extremely safe wtf are you talking about?
If She was flying today British Airways would of installed a new interior new washrooms new interior walls an update seat with OEDscreen on the back of the seats with cameras fitted on the tail thin and underneath just like the A380 has WiFi would of been installed USB plug sockets would of been installed they might of taken 6 2 + 2 seats out and replaced them with 1+1 for 6 to 5 rows introducing a executive seating. the new interior would save fuel as it would be even lighter. The flight deck may of been modernized replacing it with digital equipment they could even upgrade all the systems if it would save them money in the long run and make it a 2 crew aircraft removing the flight engineer.
On the way to the flight deck there is the computers that control all of the functions if you replace them with modern day technology it would take 25% of the space the old tech would and it would lighten the load so they could then technically move the galleys forward and increase the cabin length. or create more room for the flight attends to work. the range would increase from 4,500 miles to 5,000 miles opening up more routes or saving money for British Airways running the london to new york run.
Replacing other exterior parts on Concorde using the latest materials could drop the weight even more. There really is a lot of improvements that could and should of been done look at the 747 it evolved into the 747-8 the problem is government and the manufacturers gave up to easily. could you picture a stretched version of Concorde 30ft longer its possible with further development. So sad nothing was ever tried
DavidMarfe
You’re right about the interior but the rest is just wishful thinking. You can’t just plug and play with flight instruments, or the computer modules, and especially the airframe materials. Concorde is a highly specialised piece of kit and a lot of things on it are not universal. I’d rather invest that kind of money in a brand new SST.
Actually ap on concorde is pretty amazing when you want to go supersonic is click max climb and turn on afterburners
3:40 savage
The million dollar question, how many lucky bloke's were fortunate enough to join the Mach Mile High Club?
Frank Rizzo what a stupid stupid thing to say. Idiot.
@@and2rew obviously you never made it
Tyler Clayburn too tired.
Andrew Van Dort nah ur just ugly
I flew it once. Those windows actually were hot to the touch.
The windows are incredibly small!
I wish that those birds will fly again some day; awesome plane
Only for Airshows but back for Commercial purposes,no.
Sadly the sonic boom is one of her greatest problems
@@MacToolsAddiction rip eardrums
search up the Areion AS2 it is a super sonic jet supposed to come out in 2027
very small windows in the cabin!)))
I remember them being just as tiny as my palm....
Yuriy Yuriy Made me very claustrophobic. Only flew it once and had anxiety attacks due to small windows. I cannot even handle the A380s because of its small windows!
Protocol Officer the a380 has huge windows ?
They're small windows because anything bigger could blow-out at at Concordes much higher average cruise altitude. (Far higher than most aircraft). Concorde was still pressurised to the same level as other aircraft, the equivalent of 6000 - 8000ft) but it flew much higher where the air is very thin. This added even more pressure load on the windows.
It’s travelling at Mach 2 they need to be small or it will compromise the structural integrity
I flew on it twice, great aircraft and great service, she will be missed
Expensive innit?
*he
I dod aswell
@@jimmyuk007 you have gotto be british with your bar slang.
Even if the Paris crash never had happen, the Concorde would be obsolete today, small seats, not on board entertaiment, expesive tickets...only to "kill" a couple of hours in the air
misled1982 fuel is the biggest factor in the death of the Concorde the Paris crash wasn't the concordes fault
misled1982 obviously you have never been a super long flight it splits the time in half so it a lot when it's a long flight like I go to Greece every summer I visit family but I live in New York it takes 10 hours on this plane it would only take 5 that's a big difference and something is called a phone iPod or iPad or any android device use that
misled1982 Time is priceless.
They would have adapted it to have new technology like entertainment.
Even without the crash of AF4590 Concorde still be retired
They should make make concordes as private jets
These planes are extremely uncomfortable along with the hot windows during the Journey and requires special crew.Only thing good in it was the efficiency on time and it's look. But don't get mad at me I'm one too!
Hey, don’t be sad fella, companies are starting to make new types of supersonic jets
What a beautiful Queen! Sad this marvelous thing has become history now
Andrew Anane Authorities said that they might bring the Concorde back in 2019
King*
Imagine sitting on that toilet reading your fav magazine while your going super sonic speeds.... You are one unique individual !
Oh my
Lucky to have this Concorde at our local airport Manchester International (MAN-EGCC) has great viewing facility's and the Concorde is locate at this location near indoor Cafe. Thanks for Video, going over there soon as great place to Video ✈️
The concorde was designed in 1950-1960s and was up in the skies until the early 2000s with reduced flying times.
How are we in 2024 and still flying conventional aircrafts with long travel times? Why isnt the technology updated?
Its absurd having advanced technology few decades ago comparing to the current era.
My husband and I flew Concorde from JFK to LHR in June 1999. I was an airline employee and we had an agreement with British Airways to travel one way Super Sonic and return sub sonic. My father had worked on the Boeing SST that eventually was scrapped and he really wanted us to go so he gave us the money as an anniversary gift to go. We had smiles on our face the whole flight. I asked when we were boarding if I could sit in the cock pit after landing and the Flight Stewart told me someone was sitting in the cockpit for take off but I could sit there for landing. I smiled and said thank you I would love that. She knew I was "staff" though not actual BA. My husband was jealous but smiled when she came for me before arrival. I sat between the pilot and co-pilot on a small seat slightly behind them. They asked if I had any questions and I couldn't think of which one to ask. So I said, tell me everything you can...No aircraft lands or takes off when Concorde is either departing or arriving. Heathrow was silent and we touched down with a smile still on my face. Best 2 hours and 20 minutes of my life and I've given birth three times.
Do you wanna go in the Le Bourget Air Show near Paris, in June?
Maybe Concorde will never fly again but maybe one day in the future with the right technology the planes could be relocated into simulators and those who did not get a chance to fly her could be in a flight simulator as ‘passengers’ so they can really experience on what it was like to fly her instead of just being told what flying her was like. It would cost money and equipment but it would be worth it hopefully in the future.
If Concorde had continued to fly, they had to transform all the avionic from analogic to digital , And this costed too money, so chose no fly anymore ? Besides that the aeroplanes were manufactured all with metal and now not ? Concorde aeroplanes were all too much old , so they decided not to continue to fly ?
I ask
Not just too old. Extremely expensive as well. Plus 9/11 killed the romanticism of flying so no one wanted to pay the extra money for what was basically a glorified theme park attraction for the wealthy. (No offense I love this aircraft too and it’s gorgeous but it’s a victim of circumstance)
I lost my red, chenille Ruby Bear on a Concorde when I was a little girl. Please help me find my Ruby Bear. If British Airways has something like that, from the 1990s, please let me know about the lost and found because I cannot sleep without my Ruby Bear. I’m almost an old lady and I think of him every night.
They are making,a new,supersonic,,concord,,,I heard,,,,sonic boom,,is the one,,,it has the nose at front,as concord,did
The Concorde inside is pretty cramped compared to a regular jet airliner. But then again it needed to be fast so I guess that was the best design
imagine that this was still in the skies flying high and fast 😭 i miss you concorde i didn't even got a chance to fly you
Beautiful Concord uncomperable with no others it needs to be put back on service
✈️✈️✈️
ese avión no merece estar en un museo....deve estar surcado los cielos...yo nunca vi volar...es verdad tu su accidente...según la falla no fue d el entoces. espero nuevamente pronta inaguración mejorado>>>un adelanto para la umanidad.
i would love to fly with this baby
where was the cockpit? the best section of the aircraft is not shown.,disappointed.
Miguel lima if you want to see the cockpit, why aren't you just watching his video, where he is in the Concorde cockpit ?
Miguel lima I have a video of the cockpit
Adam on your channel?
In his pants...
why are the lavitory are so MUCH BETTER then the nowerdays
Went on this Concorde back in march, gorgeous aircraft!!
That's fantastic! Even the cabin has a fast feeling to it. The windows would be horrible for tripreporting though :D
Great to be in the presence of engineering genius.
هل أستطيع شراء واحدة ؟ 💯
Iconic plane, but kinda sad to see it sat there now. Times move on, tastes change and improvements are made but looking at it now the inside seems to look kinda average compared to todays planes. Leather seats are something we just take for granted on most planes. It just doesn’t look ‘luxurious’ anymore to me 🤷🏻♂️
Let’s hope that Boom technologies will bring supersonic travel back in a more affordable and sustainable fashion!
Wow absolutey amazing. I never really realized the height of the landing gear which is georgeous. And the takeoff roll must be huge with this lil' wings but on the other hand the overall thrust with afterburner is about 38,050 lbf (169kN) each. Ant there are four of those Rolls-Royce Powerplants. What did you think about the two points I mentioned?
Laddel1 yes, there are four Rolls Royce jets (I believe Olympus) and what you said about the wings, they are very narrow, but they are not standard wings, they stick out like triangles which means that at a higher altitude, the airflow is smoother, the wing design btw is a delta/ canard wing, similar to the Eurofighter or Rafale
Why these planes was banned
this doesn't look like luxury...
would definatley take a ride
oh no was waiting for the cockpit view :-)
how long does the presentation goes and what did you spend for?
Everyone who has flown cattle class in the past decade or so just died inside when they saw all that legroom.
😂
Alright, this will be my next must-go list.
Ryanair seats are as good as that
Swiss001: the interior is bad
This plane: *are you sure about that?*
I wish I could have flown in this
I have been on a concord I am not shore if it is this one but the one I went on was the fastest and called ALFA CHARLIE at Manchester airport
C 1 It’s this one.
I like it
konkored
ive been in the concorde at the RAF museum in wiltshire
There say there will be a test flight in October 2020 of Concorde 2.0 and unveiled.
I wish i could fly this legend..
Easy to see it was not designed for the larger people of the world... not just fat... but imagine an NFL team trying to sit together in those little narrow seats..... crazy.
awesome video
Hi guys lovely plain
Concorde windows: o o o o o
787 windows: O O O O O
Microsoft Windows: ERROR
Lil
Lol
This thing got ford mustang cobra seats!
Hell yeah! Not as comfy as first class, but what a ride.
3:38 Who would want to dress in suit and ties, that's a job for a thick person to do.
The windows got hot to the touch
True!
Oh shit.. This was uploaded today? I was just looking at Concorde videos and saw this one lol.
For such a big plane it sure looks cramped inside, the 747 is like three times the size of this when it comes to the space inside. I guess you can't have speed and luxury at the same time.
But, but, but global warming!
Greta does not approve.
Todos vocês do planeta imagem o quanto de saudade aqueles que trabalharam nestes gigantes palitos de asas tem deste aviões. Jogaram fora uma das mais lindas invenções da aviação, descartaram essa maravilha como se descartam um brinquedo que não presta mais. Reavalie esse grande erro de vocês.
So elegant
Indeed!
did this tour several years ago, I later visited the Sinsheim museum in Germany. They've got French and a Russian ones there, but they were not so well preserved or presented. However it was interesting to see the differences and there was a huge display of all types of other vehicles to see as well, including Hitlers state limo, well worth a visit.
I'm sure the tour guide has a lot of information to give. Personally I think he was talking to fast, no one was comprehending.
Turn on the what?, the marinade..huh
Turn on the marinade
My palms started to sweat and my heart began to pound as you were ascending the stairs! Thanks for sharing this!
Is that because I almost banged my head while entering? Haha, thanks for watching!
One of its kind!!! Amazing!!!
I've been in some 727s and seen a tu144 but no concorde
it was fast and the only plane safe from a bird attack. y is is not flying again
straordinario jet, unico nel suo genere, peccato che le aviazioni odierne non riescono piu a sviluppare simili meraviglie
Love yours video. You use action camera Gopro?
CONCORDE WASN'T A SUPER JET BUT WAS A SEMY ROCKET
I guess having those small windows were better than none to prevent claustrophobia & give situational awareness for the passengers.
True!
pretty cool to see :)
Pitty you did not film in the cockpit at all
I have been in that plane with that man in that place in Manchester
My biggest regret is that I never flew on her
i was inside the one in France and i can tell ....me 1.94 m with 130 kg .....not design for FAT ppl
I went on that plane with my son a few years ago
Priceless experience!
The Concorde was truly a change in airplanes
Bonito avion, una obra de ingenieria si
Cool
Thanks for watching!
I'd have loved to have flown on that girl
interior is like a train
What language was he speaking
I don't need to go on the concord I can watch this video
Do you think the tour guide talked about the people who died on these planes? and their families who still would have them if it were not for the Concorde?
The Concorde was a revolutionary aircraft and extremely safe. 'For more than three decades, the Concorde flew the earth's airways with no crashes, no deaths and no injuries more serious than bumps and bruises from occasional evacuations after nonfatal incidents. That means that on the industry's standard safety measure, "hull losses" per million flights, it scored a perfect zero.' The unfortunate events of 2000 (which led to improved runway inspections) unfortunately changed this. but Concorde itself was not the leading cause of the accident.
This jet very loud!!📣🔊
Nice
I got a plane ad while clicking on this video, ●¤●
I visited the Concorde in Barbados, G-BOAE. As Barbados was the only Caribbean country the Concorde used to fly too BA let the Barbados government keep it and they have a very wonder full exhibit. Thing that shocked me most is how unbelievably tall that aircraft is.
Agree!
concordes dont fly anymore
Where is this place? Can’t wait to show up in my pilot’s uniform
MAS_ pilot
Manchester Airport viewing park.
Because they retired
Where is this? It looks amazing!
Manchester airport!
Is alpha Charlie in full tact or is her wings cut?? I know they cut some of the wings off
Billy Emmerling Full tact.
I will always remember seeing Concord parked at JFK in the 80s and thinking how small she was when compared against the other planes alongside.
It was just different!
Wait........ I got tolded the concorde was FC only....... Weird.
David Walsh It is.
I miss the Concorde.
