Was Concorde 'The Greatest Plane Ever Built?'

Supersonic Concorde plane landing in London

Concorde landings were remarkable for their high-speed approach, requiring significant deceleration from Mach 2 to subsonic speeds. The delta wing design led to a higher angle of attack, and the aircraft's droop nose improved pilot visibility. It needed longer runways for landing and had a distinctive engine sound, especially during reverse thrust. The Concorde was retired in 2003, ending an era of supersonic passenger flights. | Cockpit For All Aircraft
