It’s taken from about the aircrafts 10 o clock. He also everdently got to go in a BA Concorde while he was there too as there’s another picture of him leaning out of the cockpit window of one them.

Version of Concorde There was only one type and if was the slowest would be stationary It could never go supersonic as heat buildup would prevent safe flight
@@MrIronhorse1 He says quite clearly, the Concord already heated up alot during flight due to friction, and to combat this a special paint was needed to dissapate heat enough for the plane to reach and maintain it's high speeds. With this blue paint job, the plane was limited to a max speed of Mach 2, and there only for 20 minutes, to avoid major problems with the fuselage heating up.
"Having a business meeting over the internet is probably safer than flying at mach 2 in a tin can." Seconds later "Whenever you're connected to public WiFi it's incredibly easy for hackers to steal your passwords, emails, and credit card information." Well that doesn't sound safer!
Tin cans ARE a masterpiece of engineering. The raduis is perfect to be held in the hand. The length and raduis is to optimize aluminum efficiency. The strength is strong enough to withstand carbonation. The tab opens can without a can opener. The tab doubles as a straw holder. The can is lined to prevent rust. The can is recyclable.
alan connelly it was necessary for the nose to be long and pointed for aerodynamics. You can’t see the taxiway when taxiing with it in the way, so Concorde and it’s Soviet rival the Tupolev 144 both worked around the problem by allowing the nose to drop down so the taxiway can be seen easily.
“Safer than flying at Mach 2 in a tin can.” This is referring to an airplane with 27 years in the air and a perfect safety record. There was one accident and it was caused by the grossly negligent maintenance of a foreign airline’s plane.
That is not the full truth Rory, for the whole sorry story and the facts watch this. ua-cam.com/video/fqOcYhzWUZY/v-deo.html The strip of metal from the Continental DC10 was just one factor in a whole series of events comprising of maintainance and aircrew errors which went to make up the accident chain.

Mark Desmond you are completely correct about all of those things. However, none of them were intrinsic design flaws in the Concorde that would make it true to say that she was a dangerous airplane. You can shoot a guy with a shotgun and make him run a mile. When he collapses does that mean that there is something wrong with him?

It is! And always will be, I even have a picture of the Concorde that's in the Smithsonian air museum near Dulles airport when I was on a school trip to Washington DC!
Ok so fast speed and air friction was problem because air frame was expanding and shrinking during the flight. So how UFOs can fly way way faster than Concorde, some radar data tracked UFOs at incredible speed of 6 miles per second. How they can do it?
@Harrison La time traveler Yeah, You can be right or some kind of "field", force field of some kind which is generated around the object for protection. 6 miles/s = 21,600 miles/h These objects can get to any point on the planet in less than 60 minutes. That is truly amazing. Another thing is what type of propulsion they use to move that fast. None jet engine will push air craft that fast horizontally inside dense atmosphere.
The Concord is easily the most beautiful aircraft ever built. She looked like a swan when cruising and those lines are just stunning. I was obsessed with this plane when I was a kid and bought just about every model of her that came out. My cousin became a captain for Britannia airlines and he told me Concord was the most beautiful plane he had ever seen. He also told me Concord was so advanced because it was designed from scratch and was unconventional and engineered beautifully.

Bit of a bad rep really . One crash in all those years , and the cause was a flight before it losing if I remember right a piece of metal engine casing that bust the concords tyre . Other than that it had a perfect flight record . Shame she's grounded .
Very interesting. One remark tough. 4:25 white paint does not radiate more heat than other colours, it absorbs less heat from the sun than other colours and thus reduces temperature on the surface. Black colour radiates the most, but also absorbs the most heat. That is why at the refrigerator the heat sink is painted black but it is put in shadow behind the apparatus. This way it can dissipate as much heat as possible. Keep up the good work!
Russians love Pepsi, they struck a deal during the Cold War to sell there (a fascinating story in itself) and I imagine once the USSR collapsed the new government was more than happy to pimp out a few hours of cosmonaut time for some hard US cash that they so desperately needed.
My dad worked on Concorde - so proud every time I see this beautiful plane. I saw a Concorde parked by a hangar from one of my flights to Tokyo - seriously brought a tear to my eye. Bravo dad and all of the amazing people who created the most beautiful plane ever!!!!
A bit of additional information, the SR-71 was intentionally allowed to leak on the runway, instead of it being accidental. The parts were made so that when heated through atmospheric friction they would come into final dimensions, bypassing the need for seals that would work across a wide range of temperatures and mechanical loads. The plane when taking off would have a minimum ammount of fuel loaded into it's tanks, relying on in flight refueling to fill it's tanks before operations. The JP-7 fuel is as well intentionally non flammable, due to a required high flash point and high thermal stability necessitated by the impracticality of completely thermally insulating the tanks.
It depends on who you ask. A leftist ecofascist anti-American POS will tell you, you shouldn't fly at all. Instead you should stay home, reduce your "carbon footprint", eat soy and wait to be sterilized. If you ask a normal person on the side of those who want to continue civilization, of course we need fast planes that zip from A to B in record time.
It true it doesn’t! On launch running cost was $6 million a year, 2003 was about $23 million a year and today they predict it be $63 million or over $100 million a year (getting numbers from memory of a video I watched about it)

2:48 "This ad cost Pepsi another 5 million dollars but once the ad was finished, Pepsi had changed the design of their can and the ad was never aired" Seriously??? So basically a group of highly-paid managers decides to spend 5 million dollars on an ad in space, also decides to change the design of their cans, but fails to see that MAYBE one should be done before the other? ~ Did they wake up one morning, saw a Dilbert cartoon, and decided to bring it to life as a joke? ~ Man, there are much easier ways to waste 5 million dollars!
Google "Cola Wars". This was during a period when Pepsi and Coke had broken even in sales and were at each other's throats over market share. They spent a lot more money on ads and merchandise and wacky attention-getting events than they do today.
I VEHEMENTLY AGREE, BUT I GREATLY ADMIRE THE EFFORT!! ITS NOT JUST SOME BORING ASS TV COMMERCIAL!!! A SHAME THOUGH THAT THEY NEVER AIRED THEIR SPACE COMMERCIAL!! WHAT A SHAME! BUT THEN AGAIN BETTER THAT SPACE DIDN'T BECOME SOME advertising CIRCUS!!!
Gotta rememeber this was way before there was internet or even cell phones. Everyone watched only a hand full of cable channels. So advertising back then it was a big deal to capture the worlds attention doing something extreme.
I just had a really weird thought. The Concorde could circumnavigate around the globe in 30 something hours so if it flew against the earth rotation and could knock that time down to 24 hours hours it could technically travel back in time😂
I was privileged enough to be a passenger on G-BOAB 02 Dec 1988 between Heathrow & Edinburgh as a ‘St Andrew’s Day’ flight BA put on. No one knew it was happening, but we were treated like royalty and given our commemorative packs. I still have mine in pristine condition. Wonderful experience!
@4:14 That's actually a myth, the SR-71 did not leak from poorly fitting parts while cold, especially not fuel on the runway. Several things contributed to this myth, it's worth reading up on.
Still not completely trustworthy, but there is a "first-hand account" for the 2nd answer. www.quora.com/Why-does-the-SR-71-Blackbird-sometimes-leak-fuel
The CEO of Pepsi left and joined Apple. He then sacked Steve Jobs from the board, and Apple nearly disappeared, until Steve came back. Must be a Pepsi curse, or they just employ knob heads!
Thanks for the fantastic video and all the perfect information about it. How was the right Pepsi marketing slogan from 1950: "More Bounce to the Ounce"!
I am always amazed when I hear stories like this, showing how much money these two companies (Pepsi and Coca Cola) have. And all they do is sell flavoured sugary drinks. It boggles my mind that doing something so utterly useless and ridiculous can make you a fortune. Also just imagine all those executives at these companies, all the marketing people etc. They are obviously intelligent people and make good money. I just don't get it how they find the motivation to do their job, when it's so ridiculous like selling these products. With their skills they could surely find other companies that are actually interesting, and they could feel good about what they have done at the end of each day.
@@jeedoo I get the money part. But I also think people in general like to feel that their work is useful, and in some way adds value to the world. Or maybe it's just me who thinks like that?
Thanks for the Captain (I'm not). As to the "obvious", well, I looked back at the video and it's still not obvious to me why fitting some random footage of whichever plane interiors when discussing the heating issues of a Concorde framework
Richard Brandson was willing to pay to get a Concorde airborne again, but the powers that be wouldn't go for it... Nothing wrong with the plane. One just unfortunately hit a piece of debris and that killed the program.
No it has huge unfixable issues causing it's death. Way to expensive to operate/fly and maintain. Drop nose added a ton of weight adding a lot to an innefficient unsustainable design. Never made money.

It caused a problem because high speed = high heat hence why they used a special white paint. Kudos for turning a YT short amount of content into a 6 min video.

3:55 BRILLIANT idea. Knowing it was going to be it's final flight, the crew person's hat will be secured forever.
Most beautiful plane ever❤
2:48 "This ad cost Pepsi another 5 million dollars but once the ad was finished, Pepsi had changed the design of their can and the ad was never aired"
Seriously??? So basically a group of highly-paid managers decides to spend 5 million dollars on an ad in space, also decides to change the design of their cans, but fails to see that MAYBE one should be done before the other?
~
Did they wake up one morning, saw a Dilbert cartoon, and decided to bring it to life as a joke?
~
Man, there are much easier ways to waste 5 million dollars!
Google "Cola Wars". This was during a period when Pepsi and Coke had broken even in sales and were at each other's throats over market share. They spent a lot more money on ads and merchandise and wacky attention-getting events than they do today.
If it was me I would of still aired it as might help even if can changed
Wow what a segue... IMHO this is a great commercial, a documentary with a built in payload, a commercial you WANT to watch. Well done ExpressVPN.
That was a smooth transition into the Express VPN ad, well done and great video :)
I PREFER PEPSI BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A WASTE OF MONEY.
I VEHEMENTLY AGREE, BUT I GREATLY ADMIRE THE EFFORT!! ITS NOT JUST SOME BORING ASS TV COMMERCIAL!!! A SHAME THOUGH THAT THEY NEVER AIRED THEIR SPACE COMMERCIAL!! WHAT A SHAME! BUT THEN AGAIN BETTER THAT SPACE DIDN'T BECOME SOME advertising CIRCUS!!!
Gotta rememeber this was way before there was internet or even cell phones. Everyone watched only a hand full of cable channels. So advertising back then it was a big deal to capture the worlds attention doing something extreme.
I like Dr Pepper..
For advertisement... Absolutely, for corporate travels, completely not.
WHY ARE WE TALKING IN CAPS
They rebranded to a mostly blue can, so they needed a big canpaign . . .
Take my like and get out.
@@dionysusnu3881 ha! I like that
I didn’t know that one concord had a Pepsi livery which look amazing.
Wish if they keep it in that livery
I just had a really weird thought. The Concorde could circumnavigate around the globe in 30 something hours so if it flew against the earth rotation and could knock that time down to 24 hours hours it could technically travel back in time😂
The CGI Pepsi Concorde at 0:34 is beyond a doubt the most vaporwave visual I’ve seen in the wild.
5:44 "doing business online is probably safer than flying. but doing business online is so dangerous and you need this product for all the dangers"
Alphonse Faure Don't think this presenter is too bright...
0:11 Not the safest place to wait for a plane.
4:36 not Concorde's interior.
Ikr
This has such a Defunctland vibe and I love it
I saw this Livery in a game but I never knew it was a Real thing. Ty for posting this very Interesting
The concorde had problems way before this
Sup?
Not the Concorde
:(
It’s unfunnily funny
No one:
Literally no one:
Plane: Droup snoot
droup snout
the snout. it droups.
@bobagopaaa you stoup
No matter what, I think that that paint job was awesome, and the celebration too.
I was privileged enough to be a passenger on G-BOAB 02 Dec 1988 between Heathrow & Edinburgh as a ‘St Andrew’s Day’ flight BA put on. No one knew it was happening, but we were treated like royalty and given our commemorative packs. I still have mine in pristine condition. Wonderful experience!

"Whenever you are connected to public wifi it's incredible easy for hackers to steal your password"
yeah mate I doubt that.
lord-carlos it’s just as easy as private wifi??
@Ken Mason what
Hey um... So why was blue paint bad?
Watch the video
when u cant reflect heat as fast cos its blue which absorbs heat not white which reflects
3:00 editor had a blast sneaking this in.
I hate advertisements ,but this is a fair concept, you advertise your VPN or whatever and still its interesting to watch
@4:14 That's actually a myth, the SR-71 did not leak from poorly fitting parts while cold, especially not fuel on the runway. Several things contributed to this myth, it's worth reading up on.
Still not completely trustworthy, but there is a "first-hand account" for the 2nd answer. www.quora.com/Why-does-the-SR-71-Blackbird-sometimes-leak-fuel
In any case, the SR-71 is a flipping cool plane. And of you are in Kalamazoo, Michigan... Go to the airzoo to see the ST-71B
Me : *looks at thumbnail*
Also me: Pepsi Concorde!
Also also me : it runs on Pepsi fuel lol
Pepsi must be prone to bad advertising,
First the concord now the super bowl
Do not forget about Micheal Jackson's hair.
And Michael Jackson getting burned
The CEO of Pepsi left and joined Apple. He then sacked Steve Jobs from the board, and Apple nearly disappeared, until Steve came back. Must be a Pepsi curse, or they just employ knob heads!
*Concorde
Ouch! That's a Big budget and a no show ! Thanks for sharing 👍
I love the ad idea- great job 👌🏻
Won’t you gentlemen have a Pepsi?
@@TriforceOfMayhem
It's originally from "Spies Like Us". That Family Guy reference is hilarious though.
Fak im old,, 90s was like Yesterday.
Feel ya man born1989 here myself I adore most things 1990 and have a 1993 Corolla special edition

Dude! Is that the Bepis Plane?
Well done for turning am interesting point into an express VPN advert without even pausing!
Smooth plug at the end🔌🔌🔌
”droop snoot. The snoot droop”
Don't let this distract you from the fact that *PEPSI* promotes *Tserie!*
Nobody cares
At 5:52 the video is pretty much over and he added an ad in the video to sell it lol
I was unaware of the Pepsi Concord. Looks phenomenal.
Thanks for the fantastic video and all the perfect information about it. How was the right Pepsi marketing slogan from 1950: "More Bounce to the Ounce"!
And thanks for watching! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it.
7 minutes to explain something that would normally take 45 seconds to explain.
$$$$
I am always amazed when I hear stories like this, showing how much money these two companies (Pepsi and Coca Cola) have. And all they do is sell flavoured sugary drinks. It boggles my mind that doing something so utterly useless and ridiculous can make you a fortune. Also just imagine all those executives at these companies, all the marketing people etc. They are obviously intelligent people and make good money. I just don't get it how they find the motivation to do their job, when it's so ridiculous like selling these products. With their skills they could surely find other companies that are actually interesting, and they could feel good about what they have done at the end of each day.
It's all about the money no one care what you sell as long as it make huge profit
@@jeedoo I get the money part. But I also think people in general like to feel that their work is useful, and in some way adds value to the world. Or maybe it's just me who thinks like that?
Noticed the thumbnail changed removing any reference to Pepsi...
Cool looking Concorde!
If I had a nickel for every time pepsi had a marketing Lego fiasco involving a jet during the 1990s I’d have two nickels
The interiors at min. 04:35 are definitely NOT from a Concorde!!
Alright thank you captain obvious
Thanks for the Captain (I'm not). As to the "obvious", well, I looked back at the video and it's still not obvious to me why fitting some random footage of whichever plane interiors when discussing the heating issues of a Concorde framework
Richard Brandson was willing to pay to get a Concorde airborne again, but the powers that be wouldn't go for it... Nothing wrong with the plane. One just unfortunately hit a piece of debris and that killed the program.
No it has huge unfixable issues causing it's death. Way to expensive to operate/fly and maintain. Drop nose added a ton of weight adding a lot to an innefficient unsustainable design. Never made money.
@@airgliderz Well, it sure lasted a long damn time in light of your accusations? The crash with the negative PR and the resulting cost to insure it further, I'm sure, didn't help...
@@JungleYT wow, sad how you ignore facts. No accusations just reality and facts. Ooh that's right you must be a liberal democrat that is ignorant and commonly ignored reality and facts.
@@airgliderz Well, considering most Conservatives ignore the *fact* of "Global Warming", your shot falls rather short? LOL I'm also Moderate, so again, you're shooting into the dirt ...
@@JungleYT yeah so you fail again as the innefficient Concord sprays global warming exhaust over you head. You prove you are a typical two faced libera, your self created realityl bubble just popped as the Concord polluted the air you breathe creating global warming with it's innefficiences never sustainable Concord. typical of Democrat's requires lots of cash to keep running (Concord) cause it allways ran in the red, it's a democrat thing.
I'll bet birds flew into it more...
Not at 50000 feet, they wouldn't.
@@JBofBrisbane r/woooooooooooooooooooooosh
@@tsarinist9300 r/itswooooshwith4os
It caused a problem because high speed = high heat hence why they used a special white paint. Kudos for turning a YT short amount of content into a 6 min video.
Nice, slick segway into your sponsorship ad!
