Perhaps one of mankind's greatest achievements...the most beautiful flying machine ever designed and simply a marvel of technology....so advanced...it has yet to be replaced. Killed by a generation of brain-dead people, accountants, dead from the neck up and the waist down. With a few strokes of their brain-dead pens, they took the human race backwards in time nearly forty years. I wonder how long it will be, before we start reading on Twitter of Facebook, or some other crappy social media site, that Concorde never existed, it was all a hoax, it never flew supersonic....can't be too far away, that day, going by the brain-dead morons that seem to run the world these days.
The first TUPOLEV TU-144 which flew on December 31, 1968 was indeed very similar of Concorde. It was a "proof of concept" model which was the TU-144A. The Soviets realized that this aircraft, which flew very well, could in no way be certified for civilian passenger transport because of its very high approach and landing speed. After a few test flights the Soviets came to the conclusion that another very different plane had to be built, the TU-144A was scrapped and they started to build the others, the TU-144B and after the C and D. Models C and D used important parts in titanium in an epoch metallurgy of this metal was unknown in the west reason why Concorde was only made in steel and aluminum (and this was the reason its cruise and maximum speed are limited to mach 2 while the TU144 having its critical parts in titanium could cruise at mach 2.2 with a maximum of mach 2.30) . Double delta wings with strait leading edges would make easier to implement slats. Having engines near the center line close to the cabin it liberates the wing trailing hedge (a wingspan of 28.8 meters and 507 m² of wing area to be compared to 25.6 meters and 358 m² for Concorde) making it possible to have the significantly larger flaps all along the trailing edge that were necessary as having low speed in approach and landing that was the goal. Landing speed of Concorde was 305 km/h (165 kts) to be compared to 270km/h (146 kts) for the Tupolev that was indeed very similar of the Boeing 747 that was at time the fastest commercial plane landing. Another important difference was the width of the cabin more comfortable allowed the TU144 to have five seats up front while the Concorde only had four with seats next to the window being uncomfortable, only for people of below average height. Concorde flew in march 4, 1969 and Westerners (French and English) came to the same conclusions as the first version of soviets, it had a very high approach and landing speed, another plane had to be made. The French agreed to build another aircraft but the British did not. The new labor government led by new prime minister Harold Wilson begun to reorganize (and partly nationalize) the entire British aviation industry in what became later British Aerospace with the cancellation of many ongoing and operational projects. Cancelation of the TSR2 aircraft project (Supersonic Tactical & Reconnaissance Bomber) few weeks after its first flight was a serious blow to the Concorde project as it had the same Olympus 593 Concorde engines and had an early version of electric commands a kind of fly by wire but still of analog technology to be implemented in Concorde among other innovations. For the English a design of a new Concorde plane was not possible, they had to continue with the Concorde as it was in the state it was, with all its faults and problems due to design flaws, or else cancel it as the English wanted. The British government did everything to cancel the project, which was firmly opposed by French President George Pompidou. In February 1973 the Concorde project was virtually dead and in the process of being definitively cancelled. It was then the French president embarked to Azores in prototype number three on what is called the flight of last chance to Concorde for a meeting requested by the US President Richard Nixon. Nixon asked the French President to stop converting into gold each dollar entering in France because the US exits the Brenton Woods agreements and the dollar will no longer be convertible on the fixed price agreed in 1947. For his part, George Pompidou explained to Nixon the problem of the Concorde and the danger of having a more efficient Soviet competitor thanks to the use of new metals such as titanium. It was decided to continue the Concorde project as it was the first prototype, but a special committee was created to adopt a very special (and extremely expensive) approach and landing procedures were adopted especially for supersonic planes (but actually only for the Concorde). On approach it was necessary to create a gap in front of the Concorde, which made it impossible for 4 and sometimes 5 planes to land, which were sent to turn around or to a waiting circuit. In all air control centers, priority had to be given to the Concorde, it often arrived at its destination with just ten minutes of fuel in reserve, which was a safety aberration, all regulations require it to land with at least 45 minutes reserve. The French and British governments would pay enormous compensation, this was the price of prestige. Among other several design flaws one was the very great exposure of the kerosene tanks to projections from the landing gear were even the cause of many incidents but three accidents with significant leakage of kerosene, two in 1979, one in Dakar and the other in Washington/Dulles. In November 1981, the American National transportation Safety Board (NTSB) sent a letter of concern to the French BEA that included safety recommendations for Concorde. This communiqué was the result of the NTSB's investigations of four Air France Concorde incidents during a 20-month period from July 1979 to February 1981. The NTSB described those incidents as "potentially catastrophic," because they were caused by blown tyres during takeoff. During its 27 years in service, Concorde had about 70 tyre- or wheel-related incidents, seven of which caused serious damage to the aircraft or were potentially catastrophic. The most serious accident was in July 2000 in Gonesse (France) that caused 113 deaths and marked the end of the aircraft's prestige. On the TU-144 such an accident would be impossible or would not have had the same consequences, projections from the landing gear were not in line with fuel tanks and these are protected by titanium pieces. IN SHORT Concorde was an immature project mainly due to the British Government financial restrictions (GM).
Será que ninguém registrou ele na cidade do Rio de Janeiro em 1976, uma pena não ter registro, mas creio que alguém deve ter filmado essa lindeza no aeroporto do Galeão!
Comme c'est touchant mais il coûtait tellement cher d'essence mais ça fait rien, ce fût l'avion passagers le plus rapide ( et le plus cher ) du monde, c'est tout un honneur de pouvoir dire que je l'ai vu et, bien malheureusement, je n'ai pu volé avec le Concorde ! 😢 💞💞💞

Fabulous filming.
Still the most beautiful passenger airliner in the world even after all these years of retirement.
Porque se saco de servicio esta belleza ??

I was certainly a show stopper.😂

Lady CONCORDE PILOT 'FUNKY' STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT
--Great video! I flew Concorde six times and got to take my airline pilot father who had retired - very impressive.
Check out my full flight concorde video! ua-cam.com/video/H5I1Ub4sNW4/v-deo.html
Trop de bruit Pour finire aplatie sur un hôtel
Stunning footage Thank you.
why we nolonger see these jet on our earports?
Fantastic👍
para que mierda ponen música
Sublime
Magnifique
El mejor 🎉🎉🎉
did a female really become a Concorde co pilot...?
How I miss thee!
Just WOW!! ❤
Wonderful!
Again running soon on runway 😊
Hello g 😅😊
I didn't come here to listen to music!
That’s not a Sonic boom, that’s a Sonic the hedgehog boom
*CONCORDE!😀*
Co-pilot is woman!
10.000 € = 19.555,83 DEUTSCHE MARK ein Sitzplatz . Einfach zu teuer und nur watt für Stinkreiche ...
Why not rebuilding brandnew Concordes?I do have the mind to care about this now.What a pity Concordes never being Taiwan before!
Yo tengo serigrafiado en mi camion ese mismo avión y ese mismo vuelo lo termino de comprobar por la matrícula y es guapisimo
Comme c'est touchant mais il coûtait tellement cher d'essence mais ça fait rien, ce fût l'avion passagers le plus rapide ( et le plus cher ) du monde, c'est tout un honneur de pouvoir dire que je l'ai vu et, bien malheureusement, je n'ai pu volé avec le Concorde ! 😢 💞💞💞
