Concorde Around the World

[@MrEilati]

Ever since i was a little boy i used to love airplanes.. i was a little plane spotter.. i grow up in the city of Eilat witch is in the south of Israel just across from Aqaba (Jordan). at that time i have never seen the concord in real life until this day. i remember the day i was looking outside my window to see airplanes departing from Eilat airport and seeing the Concord landing in Aqaba. i could't believe it.. i was so excited.. nobody believed me at that time that i saw the Concord landing in Aqaba. i saw this video by chance and it made me so happy to realize that this is the flight i actually saw landing (at the minute 49:39 in the video you can see the view of Eilat Israel during the landing in Aqaba .. ) Thank you for the good memories ...

[@gilbertoaronson8083]

I used to remember how many times I was in London and my favorite sighting tour was to Heatrow to see the Concorde arrives from NY around 6:30 pm from JFK, and to Rio to see the Air France from Paris, I had always been in London for vacation in July ‘s and always choose a hotel in Chelsea that has the view of the planes landing in Heatrow, even when I wasn’t looking at the windows ,her noise ,so special , made me believe it was a Bird calling for her attention to see her, thank you so much BA and AF that kept almost all the Concordes in airport displays,and museums ,the only thing I think AF should have one in Rio ,as the city became the first regular passenger flight togheter with BA to Singapore

In 1973 Concorde often used to fly low and slow along a stretch of the Upper Thames, probably coming in for a landing at Brize Norton as part of its testing. I was a student at a college in Buckland, on a ridge of high ground south of the river, and this glorious vision of the future of aviation just used to float past in front of us, not much higher than we were. It was a beautiful aircraft, sleek and powerful, a joy to behold. Bloody noisy though, that close.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

anpr1984 No one has the cash to build another Concorde. We’ll see if those who are currently attempting to raise money to build smaller versions enjoy any success. Keep in mind no one was willing to buy a Concorde, it was given to Air France and British Air. Many ask if you could simply build a new Concorde. The cost to upgrade the systems to be current to today’s technology would be extremely expensive, not to mention developing new engines. New tires, and new fuel tanks. Amazing that African governments were impossible to deal with, when developed countries were very pro the flight with a few restrictions. Hawaiian and Guam officials seemed to be easy to work with.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

anpr1984 They cannot just bring the Concorde out of retirement, a new Concorde would need to be developed. It was that fact that caused the original project to end. The Concorde was well beyond its useful life, this was a 1970’s aircraft. The government’s of the UK and France paid the bills to develop the Concorde thus their national carriers received the aircraft that could not be sold. You would need the same cooperative governments today, count the UK and its austerity directed government out. I would love to see a new Concorde, where with the money come from?

[@BaystoneBridge]

Really interesting video. Thank you. There was one inaccuracy. It was not correct to state that Concorde was the only aircraft to be able to experience the sunrise from the West, as stated on the sector from Guam to Bangkok. The phenomenon depends the rate of crossing the Meridians and will occur at much lower speeds than supersonic as one nears the Poles. For example the Boeing 747 used to fly at around Mach 0.8 and one could experience a sunset, a reverse twilight followed by a sunrise on such flights. This happened on afternoon departures for example London to Los Angeles in winter when the flight went higher than about 70 North.

Seeing the world in the most beautiful airliner ever to grace the skies. Does it get any better than that? From the accounts of BA crews that I've read, each Concorde airframe handled somewhat differently. G-BOAD was not only one of the nicer ones to fly in terms of 'feel', but she was also more economic on fuel for whatever reason, and so she was often the go-to Concorde for round the world charters like this.

There has never been an aircraft that has attracted so much favorable attention wherever it went!

[@bobbypaluga4346]

Up to half the seats on each flight were filled by people traveling with frequent flier awards, hence no revenue. BA had some great quarters partially due to expensive Concorde flight but it was for a short time in the whole time of operation. AF never made a dime from Concorde ops.

Of course, as any airliner of that era, Concorde had a rudimentary but effective autopilot, it had a 3-axis autopilot to control speed, altitude, and heading. For the navigation it had 3 units of INS (no GPS) called the CIVA/Carousel where you could enter up to 9 coordinates at a time in sequence so the autopilot would follow those coordinates in sequence until you arrive at the end of the route.

Amen, it was built for the London to New York flight which begs the question Why did the Soviets built the Concordski or TU-144? The answer, to show that Communism was as advanced, even superior, to Capitalism. The TU-144 even flew earlier than the Concorde, it just didn’t fly very well because it lacked the navigation, flight management systems, range, seating and the engines of its British-French masterpiece. There were not city pairs that were similar to Concorde’s London or Paris tp New York, where can you go from Moscow that is *half the range of the Concorde, yet having to same high demand for seats? *the 144 could only fly 1500 miles with its rather primitive low bypass jet engines. As small as the Concorde seats are and the lack of leg, head and shoulder room, who would not love to take this trip? Can anyone guess the price paid by Air France and British Air for the Conorde’s they flies? Zero, not one Franc or Pence.

[@mrrolandlawrence]

the tu144 kinda flew 1st but was found to be so riddled with flaws, they pretty much redesigned it for the "production" model. the short range was due to the fact tu144 needed reheat all the way to stay supersonic. the tu144 made a total of 23 flights in service. 2 crashes pretty much sealed the fate.

I wonder if the reaction would be the same if they'd put BRUTISH AIRWAYS on the titles. Besides, I honestly don't know why people hate Qantas... I've been flying with them for over 50 years, I've also flown on many other airlines including BA, NZ, SQ, CX, EK and many others and I'd be quite happy to be put on Qantas as a first choice any day. All of which is nothing to do with the fact this is a sloppy production - and applauding the error doesn't make you smart, it makes you look stupid.

Well I can't speak for other people, but to use the words "..it absolutely ruins the entire documentary..", and wiping out the entire film because of just ONE typo, on just one name, made by a caption editor, or just some bod in a caption edit suite - who, maybe, just maybe, wasn't perhaps that clued up about how world airlines are spelled - and who perhaps, just maybe, hadn't had that many dealings with Qantas.. ..Well maybe, it's just a little bit of an overkill statement to say it ruins the WHOLE documentary. Just saying. Personally, I don't think it takes that much away from the documentary, and I enjoyed watching it. I'm sure the relevant facts are accurate, even if a minor detail was overlooked by the producer.
