2019年1月21日 · The cockpit is much more complex than any other modern day aircraft or a fighter jet because it is an Analogue cockpit. Concorde was designed in the 60's and at that point of time the technology was not simply advanced enough to have LCD screens in the cockpit, and neither capacitive/resistive touchscreens were around the block.

2016年1月12日 · Concorde’s fastest transatlantic crossing was on 7 February 1996 when it completed the New York to London flight in 2 hours 52 minutes and 59 seconds. When it flew the average flight time (was) around 3 hours 30 minutes , but can be slightly longer if the aircraft (needed) to hold before landing at the local airports.

2015年5月3日 · For example, Concorde cruised at Mach 2.05 with its engines giving an SFC of 1.195 lb/(lbf·h) (see below); this is equivalent to an SFC of 0.51 lb/(lbf·h) for an aircraft flying at Mach 0.85, which would be better than even modern engines; it was the world's most efficient jet engine.[2][3] However, Concorde ultimately has a heavier airframe ...

2021年3月6日 · The Concorde burnt five times more fuel per passenger mile than the 747. A huge contributor must have been the immense empty weight per seat, three times that of the B747. B747-300 Concorde Empty

2018年11月14日 · New supersonic aircraft like Aerion AS2 are often seen in this role. However, it looks like rich individuals only bought various bones of Concorde after retirement. The fate of F-BVFD looks especially strange. As I understand, it has been retired very early, in airworthy condition, just for being a surplus aircraft.

2021年1月25日 · According to the Concorde Flying Manual Volume II(a) - 1 Operating Limitations - page 01.01.02 the take-off and landing airfield altitude is minimum -1000 ft and maximum 8000 ft. Why is Concorde limited to a maximum airfield altitude of 8000 ft, excluding Concorde from airfields like El Alto International at 13,323 ft?

2018年5月15日 · Concorde was meant to be economical (on paper at least). If the sizing remained the same -- the same number of passengers in the slender 2+2 seating -- then the addition of a tailplane would have reduced the main wing area (let's assume that offsets the weight of the added mechanical complexity).

Concorde also acquired an unusual nomenclature for an aircraft. In common usage in the United Kingdom, the type is known as "Concorde" without an article, rather than "the Concorde" or "a Concorde". The two sources given for this sentence ( BBC and British Airways ) also consistently use Concorde without an article, but unfortunately they don't ...

Concorde's landing speed was 300 km/h. Its high speed was due to its small wings, designed for supercruise, which required higher airspeeds to maintain lift during the approach. Possibly the XB-70 Valkyrie, being also a large supersonic aircraft, would have had higher landing speeds, but I can't find a reference for its landing speed.

2016年1月29日 · "In 1968, he was appointed to run Sud-Aviation, a leading aircraft manufacturer in the south of France, and charged with reorganizing the badly splintered aircraft industry. Sud-Aviation was later absorbed by the larger Societe Nationale Industrielle Aerospatiale, or Snia, which in 1984, as the core of the French aerospace industry, was renamed ...
