Concorde test Flight

[@johntaylor6517]

I flew on Concorde from NY to London. It was sensational ... I will never forget it. It’s like being in a Ferrari with wings. I sipped my Champagne and looked out over the wing at the curvature of the earth. Staggering.

[@kramsallisac9356]

I was number two behind a Concorde at London Heathrow back in early 90’s , flying a Canadair Challenger , the noise and dust from Concorde taking off was awesome ! Truly a marvel of engineering and sheer power combined in a beautiful and graceful airframe ...........

I can't believe this majestic piece of art is gone. Imagine that the Concorde only ever had one crash. These current airliners have a bunch of crashes and are still kept in production. I think without a doubt the Concorde should be brought back, despite it's enormous prices & costs. It's worth paying because it brought our spirits up. What a legendary aircraft.

[@GuillaumeG-oz3hz]

The thing is, it didn't flew that much compared to Boeings or Airbuses. I think only 20 planes were made. And it flew after the crash, up until 2003, so the crash is not the reason. But I agree, it's the kind of crazy achievement that is worth doing, even if it's not as profitable... I can't believe that we were able to build that in the 60's, and so far it's the last supersonic commercial plane. Can't we do better 50 years later ?! Like, just as fast, but cheaper, safer ?

[@MythicalPlayer_]

The main reason is the cost, using it as a commercial airplane would lead the company in debt

[@paulm2467]

And that crash was down to a badly maintained American Continental Airlines DC10 leaving debris on the runway.

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

It was too expensive to run. Don’t forget 9/11 was shortly after.

There was an occasion, many years when Concorde was still flying, when BA had to guarantee an aircraft, if a flight was overbooked, for the passengers.

It will never be surpassed.

The most elegantly beautiful aircraft ever to be built

[@georgeblack3185]

The Concorde... the greatest civilian supersonic jet ever built. The Concorde could fly over twice the speed of sound, and fly up to 60,000 feet in the atmosphere. She could fly faster than the earth could rotate, and, thus, could leave London and arrive in JFK prior to the time she left London :) ... I know that this is hard to understand, but London is about 5 hours ahead of New York. Since the Concorde could fly this distance in three hours, if it was 6 pm when the Concorde left London, it would only be 9 pm when the Concord arrived in New York, instead of 11 pm :) The normal flight time from London to JFK would take @ 5 hours, but the Concorde could fly this flight in @ 3 hours.) There are some nice clips of the Concorde from the cockpit... This is a marvel of a jet that I wanted to fly, but it just never happened.... Maybe, it was just best. I did walk through one of the Concordes, and one of the Tupolevs TU- 144, supersonic jets in the Technical Museum located at Sinsheim, Germany, all the way into the cockpit. The windows were very tiny, and the view from most windows was blocked by the massive wings. Maybe I didn't miss as much as I had thought.

[@sanjulienne]

+George Black The return flying time from London is nearly 7hrs (6hrs and 47 min and 3,450 miles, Paris is an hour more). Concorde typically left London in the early morning to allow a full day of work in NYC. In the last several months the departure time was changed to approx. 6:30pm arriving at JFK around 5pm.

[@irixperson]

The windows were an okay size. The view was fine as the wings were low enough from your seating.
