Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel. Today´s video will be the beginning of a video series about the amazing supersonic commercial airliner CONCORDE.
First and most importantly I want to thank the Brooklands museum, the home of British motorsport and aviation, for inviting me to there fantastic site.
How could I resist in making a video about the airplane that got me all excited about aviation as a little boy?
I want to thank all volunteers at the Brooklands museum for showing around and providing me with access to all their facilities. Therefore I want to donate all the earnings made with the upcoming series to the volunteers at Brooklands. Without your help and work, this marvel of aviation history would otherwise be consigned to the history books.
I hope you enjoy this tour around Concorde and make sure to watch the follow up videos to this series.
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe

I was the photographer hired to photograph the Concord's first landing in North America (1975) on her trial runs to Gander Newfoundland (where the increased the runway length to 10,000 feet for these tests). An incredible sight, with a short 2 hour turn-around time, over and over and over. I was sorry to see her stop flying.

I remember the Concorde coming to my town's airshow (which happens to be this weekend) back in 1986. During part of its routine it did several low passes parallel to the crowd. On it's last pass it turned at the midpoint to face away from the crowd and then laid down the throttle and afterburners that were pointed right at us. My entire body shook, and the crowd all had quite the smile as we regained our hearing.

My late parents flew on her many times from Heathrow to JFK, they truly enjoyed the Concord.

[@LEJapproach]

I was lucky enough to have had a chance to see Concorde take off and that was in the Eastern Bloc _before_ the fall of the Iron Curtain! Over the years, Concorde visited Leipzig/Halle airport (back then _East_ Germany) several times, during the Leipzig trade fairs and people still talk about it today! At the time it was said that crew and passengers of the supersonic jetliner needed less time to get from Paris to Leipzig than they needed to get from the airport to the city center. 🙂 Anyway, seeing Concorde take off in fading daylight was an unforgettable experience! With the engines on take-off thrust making the Earth beneath your feet shake and flames from the afterburners clearly visible as a fiery tail the same length as the plane itself, this was not just a plane starting its flight, it was a show, an event that you're just bound to remember for the rest of your life!

I met some guys who worked on wind tunnel testing of the Olympus engines at RAE Farnborough in the 60s. They had to simultaneously simulate altitudes of 60k ft, temperatures of -60C and supersonic airspeeds while slewing the engines to different angles of attack. Apparently, the facility required so much power during these tests that they had to inform the electricity generators when they were about to commence so they didn't start blacking out the surrounding areas.

[@PCgenius19]

Can you do a video on Afterburners and how they work? Love the videos otherwise, keep it up :)

[@yipper503]

Afterburners are really simple. You're literally just pumping extra fuel into the exhaust pipe. Because the exhaust gases are hot, the fuel ignites on its own. The ignition and expansion of the gases creates additional thrust (20%, I think). It's not very fuel efficient, but it's an easy way to boost performance.

[@PCgenius19]

Great explanation. I was kind of more looking at the question from a commercial pilots point of view; we have alla seen it in movies but I was curious how much they are actually used today and when and how etc. Also, I'm pretty sure I would watch @CaptainJoe having sex with stephen hawking just to hear him explain stuff... I wouldn't mind him designing the videos more like Veretasium and beginning by explaining the misconceptions (who btw did a great video on this called "Why do you make people look stupid?")...

[@yipper503]

No other commercial aircraft use afterburners. They're way too inefficient. Concorde used them only out of necessity. It's also possible that exhaust gases in a turbo-fan engine (vs. Concorde's turbo jets) might not have enough pressure or temperature to ignite fuel sprayed into the exhaust pipe. An additional consideration might be emissions, since afterburners burn more fuel and thus create more pollution.

[@RB747domme]

PCgenius19 they work because after the before squirty fuelly burny burny whoooosh!!

[@RB747domme]

Paul Rubens I was reading your comment and it suddenly occurred to me that obviously there are some military aircraft today that have after burning turbofans, and I realised that you are correct and that low pressure output from a turbo fan may not be conducive for after burning. So I wonder what method they use to ignite the fuel and or how they keep the pressure hi at the output?

[@annabellem7953]

This plane defined the callsign for all British Airways - Speedbird

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

No, all BAs were called Speedbird long before Concorde.

[@concorde202]

Very nice video. A bit fast on why only few planes were built. It was mainly due to the noise and the American campaigns against it as they didn't have anything to compete. The Tupolev crash wasn't of significant impact as it was a very different plane. It would be like explaining how Boeing didn't sell because an Airbus crashed. It doesn't add up.

[@Nilguiri]

Exactly!

[@richardemms3050]

It would have put people off because it scared them off the whole concept. Would be an interesting world if those other airlines had kept their orders though!

[@radekc5325]

The crash was also only three months before the 1973 oil crisis began and oil prices went nuts. So it's perfectly possible that the crash was a convenient excuse to bail out if future was at risk.

[@tin2001]

Remember - most airline passengers can't tell an Airbus from a Boeing, or a 747 from a 737. If the newspapers ran headlines talking about a supersonic plane crash, do you think the average customer would have known which one was which?

[@flybyairplane3528]

Radek C but you do NOT. Do high "G" moves,in an aircraft as such, so it simply FOLDED up, and fell out of the sky. IF you had a death wish, you could crunch even a Cessna 150 the same way, you in the seat, becomes AN ANVIL, , like the ones blacksmiths use.

I've been on the static Concorde at RAF Duxford and I was really surprised at how small she is inside, although very luxurious for the time, by today's First Class cabin areas standards it feels very restrictive and pokey. But, outside standing under her wings, I couldn't believe how big those Rolls Royce Olympus engines are...... they're absolutely enormous. 🇬🇧🇫🇷✌✌

Space shuttle blows up: No big deal, we'll power on Concorde explodes: OH MY GOD! Cancel everything!! If they were to wait, I'm sure everything would've been spectacular with the Concorde. Expensive, but worth it. Granted, I'd be annoying hearing four military grade jet engines per plane flying over my house and school.

[@varana]

It was not the only reason, and while NASA is a governmental agency dealing with space flight, the companies that cancelled their orders were businesses that had to make a profit and could decide for themselves whether it was worth the risk. Apparently, it wasn't, and later developments proved them right. Air France never made a profit on the Concorde, and even BA struggled after a few years, and eventually, they ran a deficit on the planes. They were in operation well into the 2000s, after all, so it's not like the entire thing was cancelled.

[@christianbarnay2499]

Economics killed both the Space Shuttle and the Concorde. The only reason why Space Shuttle lasted a few years longer is because it had no competitor for manned travel to space for US people. But it finally went to the museum once it was clearly established that it was useless and dangerous while automated flights and robots (with remote control from earth) could do way more in space than humans in cumbersome spacesuits. Concorde had a low capacity (100 passengers only), high ticket price and high fuel consumption compared to Airbus and Boeing planes operating on the same destinations. Only 2 companies used it and only because they were forced to by their respective governments.

[@powertothebauer296]

it was not the only reason, America banned supersonic flights over American soil

[@demeimustang007]

The Concorde was a dying plane before the AF4590 crash. It was nearly 25 years old, was terribly loud and inefficient, had astronomical maintenance costs, could only fly very specific transatlantic routes, was based on 1960s technology, required a 3-person crew, didn't have a glass cockpit, and couldn't compete with the increasingly luxurious first-class cabins in modern trans-Atlantic aircraft. Great engineering feat but it wasn't a great product anymore for airlines or consumers by 2003.

"As beautiful as Princess Diana " , with a nose like Concorde I'd say more like Barbara Strisand.

[@rudolphantler6309]

@Mar Blox Which makes her much much better! Edit: I mean Diana is... well was... much better.

[@georgeescaped6035]

"as beautiful as Princess Diana" maybe just as dead

[@brandlynnyoung3123]

I was thinking it looks more like a mosquito

[@nickmageebrown1981]

Agreed. That plane was ugly af....blame the French for that....the Boeing 2707 Wasa far superior and more beautiful aircraft.

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

Really interesting video Captain Joe! My husband is an Airline Captain too and he always says it was going to the airport when he was a child to watch Concorde take off that really started his life long love of aviation and his dream of becoming a pilot. He would love to fly Concorde one day. I think it's safe to say she was his first true love lol. NASA seem to be very keen on putting Concorde back in the sky so who knows :) I think it's great you make these videos because there are so many people out there who have dreams of becoming a pilot one day and these videos are inspiring. It always makes my husband smile how many people come up to him and say they share the same love for aviation ✈️

[@rsrfm24]

Greatly explained…also simply to understand Concorde’s phase in flight and systems . Thanks! 👍🙏✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Concorde was a beautiful aircraft. It looks advanced enough to have been designed by Gerry Anderson.

[@edoedo8686]

Yeah Fireball XL5!

[@giulialazzarin2509]

Beautifol video !!!!👍

[@biff5856]

Fabulous. I've been waiting for this.

[@HectorUSA1]

EXCELLENT explanation, thanks Captain Joe.

[@Shimimanokit]

I'm a volunteer there yay, its good fun, just not there too often, i would if i could though, ive spent most my time around the VC10's.

[@stepheno21]

12 or so years ago Joe, I worked on a program for channel 4 where we done some filming on the VC10. Upon packing up and going to leave, I was trying to find somewhere suitable to go toilet as the muesum was closed. I then found a ton load of wooden crates and decided to be nosy and found it was parts for Concorde. I need to head back there and see her back in once piece, I don't live too far from Brookland I live near Heathrow.

[@Shimimanokit]

Stephen O'Connell yes definitely worth it, I'm volunteering tomorrow and Sunday, I advise you book your Concorde experience at the beginning of the day if you intend on going inside it on a busy day

[@stepheno21]

Joe Wilson Thanks for the heads up. Inside or outside. Just be nice to get up close to Concorde again. She started my love for aviation. Just nice to stand there and remember all those departures and landings over my house. I live close to Hatton Cross. So used to get a great view of her :).

[@Shimimanokit]

Stephen O'Connell so I believe that there is a place to buy the tickets inside the museum but I would check with the people in the gift shop where you come in, but you don't have to pay to just stand by it or underneath it, just your normal admission to the museum, its to go inside that comes at an extra charge, its great to see aircraft come in for landings, my college is at the end of farnborough runway and you get jets landing there a-lot of the time

[@poneill65]

I remember having to shut down all conversations twice a day in my office when this monster went overhead. And that was in Esher, 10 miles away from Heathrow so she was probably several thousand feet up by then.

[@axeljsk1281]

Amazing

[@kayleighbrown965]

My Father worked on the Concorde fleet in the 90s, :) we weren't far from Heathrow either, Gerrards Cross, so under the flight path, beautiful lady. :) we have stationary and glasses feom the aircraft

[@bushidoshogun4964]

I remember one sunny afternoon back in 1997. I was in west London Concorde flying over towards London HR airport. To a 12 year old boy its was such a experience to see such a beautiful aircraft flying subsonic over the city. With its landing gear down. Then many years later I watched one of its last fight over the M4 as it come to land London LHR...

[@koomky]

Thanks from France! It's a very good idea to present this mythic plane !

[@kh23797]

Nice video! As an ageing Anglo, I appreciate Concorde was a remarkable engineering achievement in its day but also accept it had noise issues insuperable in engines of that era. It was pretty polluting and it was a thirsty beast too _but_ it was also fabulously beautiful, a source of national pride in two co-operating countries, amazingly fast and and one of a kind. The fact a Russian rip-off based on industrial espionage crashed in Paris and thereby damned the Franco-British sales drive was not Concorde's fault. The blame for the tragic Concorde crash in Paris also lay elsewhere, after a metal lump fell off another plane due to sloppy foreign maintenance. Concorde wasn't perfect - but, when it went out of service, it still looked ahead of its time.

[@towerr]

It crashed like 200meters away from my house unfortunately I wasn’t born then but my parent lived in that house for decades like 20-25 and they described it has a extremely loud deafening boom shaking the walls Edit :it was actually 700meters +

[@Slaktrax]

Don't you mean it was actually LIKE 700meters +. That is if you are speaking the truthfully as it is spelled metres by both the French and UK, like.

[@atomic_typh00n66]

u really think anyone is going to believe you? smh, what lies

[@towerr]

Atomic_Typh00n tbh I don’t give no shit if you don’t believe me cos this is the internet you don’t know if something is fact or fictional so you can fuck off .

[@220374alf]

Atomic_Typh00n one did crash

[@napalonapaulinka3839]

You couldn’t just correct the 200m? You had to write ‚edit...’?

[@markramsay6399]

Wicked - love this place... I look after their radium dials. Great video

[@rainerrain9689]

I remember the Concorde flying into and out of NYC when I was a kid, they were a sight to see ,but they were SO LOUD .

[@axecalibur7237]

Hi there joe. I recently flew back home to Germany and have experienced really bad jet lag. So I am wondering how do pilots get over jet lag

[@Nikola16789]

If layover is just one or two nights, it's not worth of adjusting. You simply live by home time zone.

From all I have heard about concord through several video views, I think it is safe to assume that Concord never recorded a mechanical fault of its own rather than the design fault that led to the fatal crash and ended its flying history

[@bobcat409]

I flew on the Concorde in the late 70s from Dallas to Washington. Very special.

[@petruzzovichi]

The Concorde and the Blackbird, two of the most beautiful aircraft ever produced. Lovely job with this video Captain Joe. Thank you.

[@atomicasian]

Alright, Alright, you're first, we get it

[@alphafoxtrot787]

Nah, we shouldn't care about it

[@alphafoxtrot787]

[@UncleManuel]

Nice! This series will be great! :-) Btw: The death of the Concorde was signed from day one - low volume of aircrafts results in low demand. It never got a chance to break into the mainstream market. Also the operational costs were a neck breaker for the whole project. The one and only crash in Paris in 2000 was just the last drop in an already overfull barrel of runaway costs. And let's not forget the flight restrictions due to the supersonic boom...

[@johngorton5468]

I never flew on Concorde but I remember seeing it take off at London Heathrow in about 2000 it was a wonderful sight

[@loganrogers9157]

Amazing. I've been in a Concorde at the Sinsheim auto and teknik museum in Germany when I was 11 and I could remember how tight it was. Only 2 lanes of seats on either side seperated by an aisle as wide as a school bus aisle.

[@ar00042]

At 10:06 I tought he was gonna say “I’ll be giving u this plane”😐 🤦‍♂️

[@joshceazar]

Captain joe is the only guy i know who runs 1440p XD

[@RoodeMenon]

I love the detailed presentation. I am always game to know more about interesting aircraft.

[@belltopcone]

Yes, remember it well as we lived under the flight path from Heathrow to New York, used to pass over us at about 2 thousand feet on what seemed to be full throttle, thank God when it was taken out of service.

Congratulations for "Verified" Badge Captain!
