Concorde takeoff and landing

[scotishpopcorn]

V1 and v2 are used on all large airplanes. V1 is decision speed, that's where you decide if it's safe to take off or you abort the take off instead as there is enough runway left to stop. V2 is the speed when you rotate to take off because at that speed the airplane is going fast enought to get off the ground.and at that point there is no return, you must take off. There isn't enough runway to stop.

[MonsterRage]

damn that cockpit is like a spaceship

[barthoedemaker]

V2 was only used on concorde in commercial planes. V1 is the usual takeoff speed for subsonic planes.

[alexisdiaz78]

the frensh copilot speking is bullshit

[teslation]

there is something called Vr which is Rotation speed, the speed at which the aircraft starts to rotate and then climb to another Vx or Vy or V# depends on the aircraft checklist or type of take off

[csapilot1]

Had Concorde some ceramic plates on leading edge of wings? thanks

[billytk247]

SPREAD THE WORD LETS TRY GETTING A LEAST ONE OF THESE LADIES FLYING AGAIN

[SidneyXda]

British airways Concorde is the ultimate , air france bullshit..just dampens the Concorde.

[charlieiscool1000]

that looked abit like a simualtor was this a real take off?

[JS3325]

@charlieiscool1000 are you retarded? it says simulater in the title

[ClearedToLand7]

@charlieiscool1000 Yeah I have to agree.... Are you retarded? It's kind of obvious from the description.

[AnEReCTeDMooSe]

Lets keep the KNOTS on boats.

[Johnzx2]

Does any boats make 500 knots ?

[AnEReCTeDMooSe]

I could care less

[franfood]

What a wicked awesome aircraft...holy crap.

[ravemonk]

I had no idea the screen thing went down so quickly!

[seahawks2043]

the visor lol, I believe thats what its called

[Flightkid9]

well you wouldn't want it to block the pilots view for longer than it has to.

[ClearedToLand7]

@ravemonk It's called a visor. There's a really interesting website for it, just goole concorde nose...Now you know everything I know about it.

[LiiV3LoNDoNLiiF3]

What do they mean when they say V2 ?

[Chrisy299]

These are the speed of save climb.

The first the copilot had to say is when the airspeed is increasing,the V1 (about 150 knots)-after that he had to start because of speed and runway length.

Then comes the rotate-speed about 190 knots and then V2 (about 210 knots) for save climb.

[LiiV3LoNDoNLiiF3]

Ah ok so if they were rotating at 190 knots it would be V2 =).

[Chrisy299]

No. Rotating is about 190 and V2 after rotating about 210/220 knots as save climbing.

[LiiV3LoNDoNLiiF3]

My bad ok!

[victorbraga1998]

nice but does it shake that much or it is you or who ever is inside?

[nemo227]

Yes, it's actually bumpy on the ground for any high speed aircraft. Once airborne it gets smooth (except for bad weather).

[scotplane]

@Chrisy299 Rotate is also known as Vr. :D

[drpittbull]

@LiiV3LoNDoNLiiF3 Let me explain V2 meaning and answer your question, unlike pointless answers that you have received!

V2 - Is a speed at which an aircraft can operate with one engine out!

That's why Pilots always maintain V2 or in some cases V2 +10 Knots in initial climb (before flap retraction and acceleration of climb envelope of flight) as set by their airline. That is done in order to prepare in the safest way possible for an unforeseen events (particularly Engine failure).

[beergut111]

@drpittbull not really.....here's what really happens. You dont hold v2 unless you have an engine out. If you have an engine faile you pitch to climb at v2.

any questions?

[drpittbull]

@beergut111 I appreciate the answer, but you obviously mean different type of aircraft. from your profile I could see that you fly or flown small types of aircraft, where I was basing my information on a B747-400 that follows such a procedure. I gave it as an example since we are talking about Concorde. Smaller aircraft or the ones with bigger velocity potential would ofcourse use different procedures as they would probably reach V2 much faster!

any questions?

[beergut111]

@drpittbull you must have me confused with someone else or you didnt read my profile.....the last "small" airplane I flew was a Gulfstream 4.......V2 is passed no later than 35ft above the runway on take-off. that is a certification requirement. So, once again, unless an engine fails we dont "hold" v2.....99% of the time we're passed V2 about the time the tires leave the pavement.  When i used to fly the 747 many times V2 would come and were still in the rotation.

[Flystand]

@Chrisy299 And they can't abort take-off when they've passed V1, officially though.

I've recently seen a plane having a RTO passed V1.

[Chrisy299]

@Flystand The thing is that the tanks of concorde at takeoff are completely full and the airplane does not go into the air at less than 190 knots.

[francoisbe92]

@Chrisy299 V1 is the maximum speed for a safe take-off abortion. V2 is the speed at which an airplane can safely became airborne. V3 is flap retraction.

[beergut111]

@francoisbe92 not really......v2 is what you climb at after you have an engine failure.

[drpittbull]

@Chrisy299 You didn't actually explain the core meaning of V2 itself! you just gave a description of speeds under each of V speeds (Debatable ones as well)! That's completely not what he have asked!

[beergut111]

@Chrisy299 close.....v2 is the speed you would climb at if you lost an engine at v1.

[MoustachesAreEpic]

@Chrisy299 V1 - Past safe abort takeoff limit

V2 - Minimum takeoff speed reached

Rotate - Point nose up to start climbing.

[racfer]

These are decision airspeeds. V1 is the speed up to which you have to abort the take off in case of aircraft failure. V2 is the airspeed in which you would finish the take off and comeback for a landing in case of a failure. Vr is when he says Rotate, and it is the airspeed for rotation, or bringing the nose up for the take-off.

[LiiV3LoNDoNLiiF3]

Wo thank u very much 4 ur answers, appreciate it =) G'day!

[chris74742]

sick!!! wish these planes were still around =(

[qwertdr]

There are 18 of the 20 are still knocking about on display.

[BMXBOBO]

the guy speaking sounds like murray walker and english f1 comentator lol

[deville69btk]

and does it still exist?

[Chrisy299]

Look for example on the concordeproject website for information.

[qwertdr]

20 were built, 10 British and 10 French.

18 still exist and are on display or will go on display at various museums.

[deville69btk]

is this a real concorde training simulator?

[Chrisy299]

Yes it is.

[123bryannemas]

no its not

[Chrisy299]

Yes it is.Look on aviationarchive

[nureldin1980]

Want one of these at home! I know that in Paris a group of passionates is restarting a Concorde simulator.

[Chrisy299]

Look at YT Flying The Concorde Simulator - Clip 1.

Its not in Paris but in GB.

[nureldin1980]

In Paris too. AF too had a simulator....

[Chrisy299]

Oh he still works today?

[interflug]

SUPER :)
