I love hearing older British gentlemen talk. So respectful.

[@CaptainCreampie69]

You’ve obviously never been to a football match in England. 😂

[@A120isgud]

He sounds like text to speech

[@valante7]

What a marvelous piece of engineering this was. US manufactures could only dream of making something like this back in the day.

[@tomwest8663]

valante7 US may not have had an airliner, but we did have the SR 71 BLACKBIRD that cruised at mach 3 + with two engines at 80,000 ft.

[@RB747domme]

tom west yes the SR-71 is an absolutely beautiful aircraft. And a technical marvel. But I would bear in mind, that it only carried two passengers, a pilot and a reconnaissance officer, who would both be wearing pressurised space suits, and had to pee into a leg bag strapped to their leg, and wore diapers. If you consider that Concorde flight ceiling was 63000 feet, then just imagine an SR-71 flying at 80000 feet, and looking down just 17000 feet below them is an aircraft that could fly 4000 miles without refuelling travelling at the Mac 2.1, with 110 passengers on board, with toilets, in air-conditioned comfort, sipping champagne and eating lobster.. It puts it into perspective just what an incredible achievement both the SR-71 and Concorde were in the 1960s. It's a shame mankind went to sleep for 30 years and stopped dreaming of the future. I think they could have achieved an incredible amount of aeronautical brilliance had there not been economic, oil crisis, and political rows preventing development of new aircraft technologies.

[@joeg5414]

That's a pretty bold statement considering the types of aircraft US manufacturers were producing back then.

[@beagle7622]

@@RB747domme The Concorde could get up to 58,000 feet at the end of the cruise & cruised at Mach 2.00. That’s about 22000 ft below the SR71 but with passengers in considerable comfort eating the best food & drinking fine wines. Both the RAF & USAF tried to catch is when it was flying out over the Atlantic. They just ran out of fuel. It cruises faster than an F-18 for instance. I agree with everything you write, simply remarkable aircraft , both of them.

[@knighttemplar9362]

The greatest airplane ever made! Absolutely nothing can be compared.

[@oof8850]

Rick Fischer I'd pick the 747 over this

[@aitortilla5128]

If you don't count SR-71 so maybe yes.

[@btr152]

Tu-144 can be quite a rival.

[@btr152]

@ryo ga silly you. The performance of Tu-144 was comparable or better than Concorde's. Period.

[@janosoliverolah2576]

​@@btr152 Definitely the Tupolev Tu-144 had a shorter range and was far from being reliable. That made the difference, apart from cabin noise. I wish she had been a better rival to Concorde and development of both supersonic airliners had been continued in their time. They would have been much better at both economy and ecology by the time they had been retired.

[@jayinwood647]

I did this tour about 12 years ago. Absolutely amazing experience with very knowledgeable people who were a joy to listen to

[@gaborbakos7058]

It was extremly polluting, extremly noisy, consumed extremly much. It was just a very expensive, uneconomic technical prestige project. When it was being developed then it could be known it would be never refunded.

[@drspaseebo410]

The first time I boarded a Concorde, with a pal many years ago, when I looked into the cockpit I exclaimed loudly "Holy Sh*t!" ~ I was overcome with the impact of the glorious layout and instrumentation! Never forgot that experience. Whatta plane! Hope it makes a return one day.

[@kjw7556]

Flight engineer must have to be an absolute genius to work all them switches and knobs.

[@greatflyer_aviation]

True! Check out my other cockpit tours in newer aircraft to see the difference ✈️

[@benshepherd283]

1969: Concorde first flew, 747 first flew, men walked on the Moon. Not a bad year.

[@benito7789]

More like one the most revolutionary years in recent history

[@permadifauza5251]

🙋 1969: maybe you are born Ben

[@renorailfanning5465]

Also, I was born that year. So yes, great year :)

[@pixel_ppl2504]

Cuz its 19 69 😏

[@firstnamesecondname5341]

And in 2019 the world shut down 😬 (well 2020 sort of but covid 19 started in 2019)

[@klaus3794]

Best safety record of all planes - only one came down because of some stuff on the runway! Too bad they don't fly anymore. I hope one day we will get something back like this great Concord!

[@Designandrew]

I'm sorry Dr Jones, but this is one relic that does NOT belong in a museum!

[@thomasbouchard3058]

The problem is they are so expensive to maintain, and a special crew to fly them, and they are terrible with fuel lol.

[@wolfiesmith4587]

How socialism built it in the 60s

[@genie0390]

how wonderful to see all those hi-tech analog instrumentation. during flight the engineer sitting behind the pilots would reach between them to handle some of the controls, made for more personal touches rather than those modern flight management systems. nice to know the Concorde is finally earning a profit charging museum entrance fees

[@DoctorDARKSIDE]

When the past, was the future.

[@nonami_066xswqoqowiwl]

Draviator wtf?

[@xzysyndrome]

The irony is cold. An additional tire to keep tail strike from puncturing the fuel tank...and it was a blown tire that ended up puncturing the fuel tank and bringing an end to a flawless flight record, as well as the plane itself.

[@skydragon8538]

The Concorde cockpit is bloody beautiful

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Absolutely, thanks for watching.

[@danielmorris6523]

My father worked at British Aerospace. He was lucky enough to have a flight on Concorde and told me that you feel absolutely nothing when you break the sound barrier. The only indication is when you look up and see the speed indicator. He also met Brian Trubshaw who was one of the test pilots and told me he was a really lovely guy.

[@PacoOtis]

Wow! Just looking at the aircraft and imagining being an electrician trying to sort out a problem. Can you imagine the electrical schematic? LOL Excellent video and thanks for sharing. The analog characteristics of the cockpit do tend to appear antiquated!

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Thanks for watching! Check out my other cockpit videos ✈️

[@MarubiniSikhipa]

Dreamliner for the accountants, brilliant

[@antonmothes3160]

Think its that amazing that the fuselage expands so much due to the heat (ca. 130°C) on the planes outside.

[@flyingdutchman700]

Aircraft are undoubtedly the most impressive piece of engineering made by man. And among all times, varieties, shapes and functions Concord was, is and forever will be the most incredible, beautiful and timeless piece of airplane ever made. Aircraft world was surely more poor with its retirement. But it will never disappear from our minds. It will live forever.

[@NinjagoGuy416]

5:55 Ah, the all-important cupholder. It's a good thing they didn't forget that! lol

What a great opportunity you had. I never flew on her but I was able to see her land & take off in August of 1985 @ KDTW. Excellent video footage!

[@AirlinersHD]

Best cockpit tour of Concorde. I think G-BOAC is in best condition of all.

[@ianddavidson1]

After this tour, please book yourself an hour on the official Flight sim at Weybridge. Awesome experience. PS: It flies like a dream !!

[@chicobicalho5621]

I am the member of a fortunate generation, born in 1960, and as a kid, constantly presented with the most incredible technology, like the Concord, the XR 71, or the space race, and amazing technology leaps in motor racing as well, like the Lotus 72, or the Porsche 917. Sems as if in the 1960s, and early 1970s there was an acceleration in technology that brought surprises never experienced before, and after that, there was never that kind of shock, and kids born only 10 years later, grew up accustomed to "new tech". I remember that my cousins, five, seven and eight years older than me, liked cowboy movies and choo-choo trains, but my friends and I were treated to cars going at 300 km/h, supersonic airplenes and rockets that flew to the moon.

[@eonmichaelides1415]

The engineering masterpiece of the 20th century.

[@ek3910]

What a machine !!!

[@greatflyer_aviation]

One and only!

[@1903chrisholden]

Beautiful office of the amazing Concorde

[@dennisdreyer1439]

Thank you for uploading this marvelous video Demetris! Fascinating and I could easily spend hours going over everything on that flight deck. Concorde was truly the most iconic and beautiful airliner to ever grace the skies and could do what no other aircraft on earth could do, and it remains so to this day. The thinking that went into that aircraft was light years ahead of its time with autothrottle and autoland systems that were far superior even to those found in today’s aircraft. Even though it was an expensive and demanding plane to fly it still had many years of life remaining, without a viable successor in the offing. She should still be at 50K feet and cruising at Mach 2 but instead, a giant step backwards was taken when this marvelous plane was grounded for good. Very sad indeed.

[@ekjas_siket]

flight engineer had the toughest job in that cockpit i guess

[@xFunTomCZx]

is there 7 hour version of this? pleeaaase?

[@jeremyt2520]

No.

[@mikemac2888]

It didn't fly seven hours.

Very interesting, informative and very well put. Really enjoyed it.

[@supersonicbird11]

very lucky - I flew on Concorde and when we visted the cockpit - I was seated in the 4th jump seat rt behind the captain - they were still abuzz as the queen mom had celebrated her 80th birthday sitting and chatting with the free for about 30-40 min I was told by the captain amazing aircraft - amazing speed !!!

[@kotezstudio]

lol sat in the cockpit of the concord and couldn't help but get a shot of a departing aircraft through the window! classic aviator!

[@kaitsho]

Great work! Nice to hear the discussion about Laker - we flew them years ago. Dad worked for BMA, Brittania and others. Thanks for the video.

[@eliasraimundo1037]

My favorite plane 😍😍

[@jshepard152]

There's a Concorde at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. You can get on board but no access to the flight deck.

[@uberdude2555]

That kinda sucks.

[@beagle7622]

In a series of videos about the development of the Boeing 777 they talked about the development of the cup holder. Not as easy as I thought it would be . The pilot had to be able to reach it & they had to be sure it wouldn’t leak. Interesting though the effort that went into developing it.

[@fredericpoisson1825]

I was in a school near buy an airport where the Concorde would take off regularly. The teacher would stop talking while the plane was screaming all it could to take off... LOL Good times...

[@fatelife5573]

Engineering Marvel 👍 they developed when the technology is not boomed in higher side Respect and salute ..from Tamil nadu india shravan

[@qasimmir7117]

I've been on that very Concorde.

[@tenpiloto]

Right seat would be First Officer, not Second Officer as this docent said.

[@francesbesaya2897]

Best civilian aircraft ever made: the fastest and achingly beautiful to look at. Wherever it was it got all the attention. Pity it was was updated and a lack of confidence on the part of many partien meant it was never built in large numbers for numerous airliners around the world, if that had been the case, maintenance costs would probably have been dramatically lower.

[@francesbesaya2897]

I mean it was NEVER updated and a second model with lower fuel consumption and possibly even higher flying speed was never developed.

[@factnotfictionpeople1313]

Nice video - thanks for sharing. :-)

[@bkr056]

I went there and went on there it's amazing 😉

[@d.hansel854]

I understand a new breed of super sonic aircraft is being built and will be flown in the next few years. it was sad that the cost of this plane become prohibitive. We shall wait and see what happens in the new few years.

[@JackM101]

Great video

[@sandman4asleep]

Wow thank you for this

[@AlonsoRules]

No LCD screens to be seen, all analogue instruments

[@TheItsmegp46]

Anthony Kernich Concorde was using 1960 tech. LCD screens was still years away. It also needed a flight engineer. It was the only plane left that needed a third flight crew member.

[@mancabbage1]

thats a lie..

[@TheItsmegp46]

Mike Nolan What is a lie?

[@mancabbage1]

itsmegp46 ignore me i misread your comment, thought you said it was the only plane that needed 3 flight crew

[@TheItsmegp46]

Mike Nolan You did not misread it. It is true. Major Airliners developed from the 1980s on up have only a 2 member flight crew.

[@eagta3347]

The Concorde carries about 119,500 liters (31,569 gallons) of fuel and burns about 25,629 liters (6,771 gallons) per hour in the air.

[@54spatula]

The fact that part of the cockpit expands around 60,000ft!

[@uberdude2555]

I'm pretty sure the whole plane expands, the floor of the plane has a sophisticated roller system underneath so the carpet etc doesn't split apart.
