It really annoys me that they took it out of service, the crash wasn't even concords fault, The people that gave the order to relieve Concorde from the Skies, Should be SHOT!
@and93hil by your logic walking is not very safe but we try and manage.. if the concorde was still alive it would halve evolved to the point of immaculate safety but instead what we saw was some mafia politics and yes 2 very tragic accidents but you must understand that nether of them blew up @ supersinc speeds.. the bird was not the problem @ all.
@s3fredo ermmm...no it wasn't old boy. it was an anglo/french development. the inventor/person who drafted if was a chap called Dietrich Kuchmann who was a German. Get ones facts right before been twattish.
I can say First Hand that Weeeee !!! is a exact discription, as when i flew concorde once to Detroit on a charter, and we did a low level fly over of the runway and then took off again and flew around metro airport and finally land with thousands of people on hand to cheer us on ! First and last apperance in Detroit..Summer of 1985..
cant we just modernize on the already solid platform? god, we need another cool ass plane like this so we can all feel jealous about flyin on it. lucky fuckers that get to fly on it.
Once,a hole was ripped in the wing of the concorde with feul gushing out but never caught fire.They managed to land and never did anything about it.The second time everyone died.
I remember being on the runway at LHR waiting to take off when a concorde took off in front of us, it literally shook the shit out of our plane, awesome amount of power and a bad ass plane petty the french can't keep clean runways
I'm sure we have the technology to make a new Concorde that is cheaper to run than the old one. when they canned her I felt that the world took a step back. the same goes for the Space shuttle, and you can see how great our concorde was when people openly compare her to the space shuttle.
I thing BA are having a laugh and taking the piss with their new BA television advertising, how can they show concorde as if its still flying....i only wish it as, the worlds most iconic aircraft..she was and remains beautiful....
@10pinbowling agree she was amazing but i don't think BA are seriously trying to show her as still flying. The ad is about experience and nostalgia - it shows numerous aircraft that don't fly any more from several different eras - that's the point of the ad!
@mushypeas10 Shame on BA if the best they can come up with is "looking back" they should be looking forwards.......long live Concorde, i hope she plies again some day, even if it's just for an airshow!!!!
People just don’t realise what a huge feat it was, and the technical obstacles that had to be overcome to bring this beauty into the world - long before all the technology we take for granted today even existed. Show an 8 year old of today who has never seen Concorde and they would think it’s a new futuristic plane – not something that predates the Morris Marina.!!!
It had to touch and go - Aberdeen airport runway is only 1800m long: Concorde needs around 2,000 to land, and even if it could land it needs over 3000m to take off so it would have been stuck there!! Beautiful plane though - bring it back!
@marmal320 The runway length necessary to land or take-off depends of the weight. For demonstration or training flights (I think it is the case here), aircrafts are never full-loaded.
@pierrelareux common man, i love the concorde too, but this beautiful plane uses too much fuel. The creator should have looked at the economic aspects...
@pierrelareux wow filthy mouth (or typing fingers) they grounded it because it was old, expensive to maintain, not making money and becoming potentially unsafe (this plane was made in the 60's) However there is interest in making a new supersonic passenger jet with a collaboration between airbus and a Japanese company which they say will go 3000 mph double that of Concorde.
@pierrelareux - Yes it sucks, but chill out a bit, you'll live longer.
You can lay the blame squarely on Airbus & their refusal hand over the types maintenance certification over to Qinetiq, thus forcing the grounding of our own planes.
@Neno8403 i know nothing about concorde, i was just asking a question which i thought a decent human being could answer, were not all as cool as you to be knowledgeable about trivial subjects, so go fuck your dead nan.
@choongification not because of the crash. that crash was not even concordes fault, it caught some crap from the md80 that took off before it. concorde maintainence cost is very high(parts, labor and stuff). people dont buy tickets enough for british airways or air france to make profit to keep the concordes flying. thats why they stopped using them.
@Somebody2890 Lets make a 'smart-car' version of concorde then!!! Its possible! It just wont go any further than a mile before it needs to be plugged into the wall... ;)
i dont know what you and the other guy are arguing about but you are both wrong. the reason for this touch and go is for entertainment only. the pilot is demonstrating the power of the aircraft. that's why theres a bunch of people watching. touch and go's are performed at airshows regularly to show off the airplane and give people a closer look without completely landing and stopping the aircraft.
This is by far the most beautiful, and together with the F-104 nicest sounding jet in the world. When historians will look back at the decline and fall of the Western world, they will use the decision to end the Concorde and build stupid windmills instead as the principal symbol of mental degradation leading to the fall. Those that say "too loud" should move to a wooden box six feet under. Perfect silence.
@Shortyguy94 The touch & go (as in this case) procedure is mostly a training one for landings and takeoffs. In real life, it could happen that you encounter some debrief on the runway, or a runway incursion, or anything that causes you to abort the landing, even when you've already touched down.
Although is very rare, it's a procedure that must be known, practiced and mastered by the pilots =)
come on....did they really have to cancel the concorde jet because of 128 people dying on one flight..........REALLY.......because there were many other flights that crashed and exploded
@DinoLucca1 What on earth do you base this on? Got any more sweeping statements??? It flew for something like 30 years, and they lost one, partly due to FOD (not the plane's fault) and partly due to pilot error (not the plane's fault).
@DinoLucca1 WTF????? Concord was the most advanced ahead of its time aircraft ever designed...also the most over engineered and beautiful..so go to sleep you unpatriotic wanker...fuck you!!!!
@HAWX234 The concorde was built with british and french. The Headquarters of the company who built it is the "aérospatiale" whose headquarters are in Toulouse, France.
unfortunately, the concorde, amazing as it was, will never be flown again. it is also unlikely that within the next 10 years jets will go supersonic, its to expensive and the airframes do not last aslong as there are extreme amounts of pressure on the fuselage. And the main reason it will never come back is because the concorde lost 3/4's of its customers in 9/11, one date ended that airplane.
All of the conditions you listed are assessed on the initial and final approaches, and if the pilot deems landing is not safe he will abort the approach and go around. The only other scenario I can think of for a touch and go other than training or an air show is if after touching down there a runway incursion in front of him and he obviously would apply power and lift off to avoid collision.
@shapdude78 i dont know what you and the other guy are arguing about but you are both wrong. the reason for this touch and go is for entertainment only. the pilot is demonstrating the power of the aircraft. that's why theres a bunch of people watching. touch and go's are performed at airshows regularly to show off the airplane and give people a closer look without completely landing and stopping the aircraft.
@TestMiNuh I sincerely doubt this is intentional. What pilot would want to make a friviolous landing in the rain? The spectators are likely inside the airport and recording the plane landing because a) its a Concorde and b) its carrying Daddy (or whomever).
@Ieatutube have never seen a touch and go during an airshow? have you ever heard of the paris airshow? they do touch and gos regularly to demonstrate the power of the airplanes. especially the airbus. read the caption of the video. "Concorde carrying out a few low passes and a touch and go one rainy day in September 1984 at Aberdeen Airport"......few low passes??? why would he due a few low passes then a touch and go if he intended to land? this is simply a demonstration.
I love it when people speak with authority on a subject and have no idea what they're talking about.
As a pilot, (and I'm not suggesting I'm a professor on the topic) all of the reasons you listed for going around, with the exception of training (which is by far and away the most common) are ridiculous. How can you "not like the way things are going" during a landing? A landing lasts all of a few seconds; either you land or you crash. All of the conditions you listed are ass
@turkishsoldierbaran The pilot touches down but he doesn't like the landing, either he landed to far into the runway so he won't have time to stop, he's going to fast, or the weather conditions are inhibiting a proper landing, so he punches the throttle and takes off to try again.
@soupizgoodfood Personally I doubt it was due to pilot error. You know if your approach is poor well before you touch down, with your 2 options being: fix it or go-around. The touch-and go would most likely have been for a test flight or training. "Weather conditions inhibiting a proper landing" What does that even mean?
1) In training multiple landings can be practiced without ever stopping the aircraft.
2) They are used in reaction to a bad landing. As I said before, if the pilot touches down and doesn't like what he sees, for whatever reason, he hits the throttle and takes off again.
3) They are used to test landing conditions. For example, if its raining and windy, the pilot touches down and doesn't like how things are going, he takes off again to retry.
@soupizgoodfood I know what a touch and go is, I've done hundreds of 'em, but i've never heard of anyone touching, assessing their landing, then deciding whether to 'go' or not. There simply shouldn't be anything new to see once you've landed. Wind and visibility can both be assessed on finals. These guys get paid the big bucks to land on the 1000' markers, not half way down the runway... on aspect and on speed.
the touch and go was a publicity thing for aberdeen airport, the runway was nowhere near long enough for her to land so they did a touch and go and a few fly overs the fact it was raining is just coincidence
@soupizgoodfood Personally I doubt the touch and go was due to pilot error. One knows that their approach is poor well before landing, with the options being to either fix it or go-around. My guess is that the touch and go was for a maintenance test flight or training. "Weather conditions inhibiting a proper landing" What does that even mean?
So sad to see the concorde sitting there at heathrow on the grass looking abandoned ......which i suppose it is :( at least the french have there one mounted up at an angle looking good at the front of the airport. We need a concorde mk 2 ...Mr Branson get the job done pls.
know i know very well of this plane i just never looked up one of the questions i have always had. why is the front of the nose pointed downwards at such an extreme angle? wouldnt that cause excessive stress on the nose of the plane at high speeds before reaching higher altitudes?
@fightingisfortheweak the nose was flexible,it pointed down when the pilot wanted it to and straight again when also needed.... superb plane taken out of service because of a Continental Airways fault hitting their tyre and causing an engine breach.....NOT Concords fault and a superb plane to see flying above you.....
@WillCrazie such an unfortunate event i know.. sad to say ive never seen one in person... sigh... and thats some extravagant design for a flexible nose that can withstand such high speeds.... i think the power was a little too much for someone and the hatred of another superb plane got the best of them.. miss the concorde.. thanks for the info!
Utterly amazing that they allowed pilots to touch and go, such an expensive aircraft, I don't think they'd let a pilot Touch n Go an Airbus A380 these days. The 80's was a different time period, not so much P.C. bull-sh*t.
Couldn't Richard Branson pay for 1 Concord Aircraft to be bought back into service?
The world of aviation stepped back ten paces when the Concorde was scrapped, to fly at that speed you need a military fighter. Think the man said twenty four miles in a minute. When at max cruising height Concorde can run on conventional engines at Mach2
i new he was comming in too fast anyway i love these planes they should bring them back into servis and because of that i have one of the old british airways concorde nosecones
I agree that Concorde is probably the most beautiful aircraft ever made. But, as I said, no one can really say which country was more responsible for the shape of the airframe and to use subsequent designs, such as the Mirage 2000 and the Rafale, as proof of a French legacy is clearly ridiculous. What I can say is that the experience gained from the British "V" bombers in the aerodynamics of the delta wing certainly contributed to the Concorde design, so maybe Concorde's beauty is British? :)
I admit that the British aircraft industry has more or less collapsed in any kind of independent form, and nearly all projects today are joint. The cost of developing new military aircraft is prohibitive for any single company. You cite the Rafale and the Mirage (both Dassault), but these are hardly new designs. The Mirage 2000 first flew in 1978 and the Rafale in 1986. What new military aircraft has Dassault produced, on its own, in the last 25 years?
@PouChen i didnt say that french has all the credit, no not at all, it was anglo-french machine so credit goes to both, only thing i meant that is about designing, its pure french. and so far gb hasnt produced any aircraft of its own, it has produced with someother collaboration such as eurofighter typhon, they might be working on engine and other stuff and french were given the task to design it????? who knows?
indeed its a real beauty... no argument on that :) i dont know for sure if its french design, but who cares :P its really a sweet aircraft... and the mentioned mirage and eurofighter are sweet too :P
so yes, i agree, designwise the french did a good job :P
@saamisweetu - Seriously????!!! The British aircraft industry, although largely involved in joint projects now, has produced scores of aircraft - probably more than the French have. The names of some of these are instantly recognisable around the world, even to the French!
@langdalepaul oooooooook sir, i agree with you yes GB has produced a lot of number aircrafts. but u r mixing two things. i asked pouchen to give example of military aircraft now a days.then u jumped in with civilian n that too old productions, still i appriciate ur comment.it was just a question what they are producing now?? btw thanx for ur sharing :)
@saamisweetu If you really think that the British aren't capable of designing things of beauty, first of all you're a bigot, and secondly, think of the Jaguar XKR and the Aston Martin DB9. Concorde really was a joint project and, although manufacture and construction was split between the two countries, I don't think anyone could say which parts were designed by which nationality. It most certainly wasn't France: airframe and UK: engines, as you suggest.
@langdalepaul u r so dumb i didnt know. we are talking about the beauty of aircrafts. it was my suggestion that the design of the concord has 100% resemblance with mirage and dassault rafale so french probably r the designers. secondly here we are talking planes not the other things. if it is car then still gb's cars arent on top of beauty, they are beautifull though. cheer up
@saamisweetu I brought up the analogy of cars to illustrate that your contention that something that is graceful and elegant must be French is a stupid (and false) stereotype.
@langdalepaul are u mad?????? i didnt meant that. first of all i discussed it with pouchen n he got the meaning. its nothing against or in favour of any country. concorde's design has the resemblance in design with other french aircrafts, whereas french aircrafts are peice of beauty themselves and concorde itself but due to resemblane i suggested concord's being designated by french. there isnt any case of must.u idiot. migs, sukhois, f16 etc r not french but still beautiful machines. aaaaaarrr!
@FIATF130DT i agree its britt too, but am talking about the beauty. if it has that beauty, its definite french touch in that, might britt were workin on other things??? rafale and mirage having the same design as this concord n tyey are pure french beauty.
"Touch and go" sounds like something ill do to your mother ;)...PS- I call ur mom concorde when i found out she was a man ^___^ cough* she got a big dick* cough
Ps. It also amazes me, in backing up MrMouns63 comment... That this footage was taken in 1984! Almost 3 DECADES later, and I have not seen ANYTHING that comes close to the gracefulness, and sheer presence of the Concorde at an airport these days, and its 2010! Sure, we have some nice planes out, the A380, the 787 dreamliner which is almost due out (10 times more modern looking than the A380 despite all the fuss).
Le concorde: tout simplement magnifique, First flight in 1969, and here we are now, 41 years later we still dont have any supersonic jet....Concorde is still winnig the race of progres with flying thechnology of the 60's. Fuck i imagine the amount of people who would pay to cross the atlantic on board, higher, and muuuch faster than most of military fighters jets...PUTT IT BACK ON SERVICE!! :-)
Anyone know the reg of this aircraft, G-BOA_ ? Cheers in advance

unfortunately, the concorde, amazing as it was, will never be flown again. it is also unlikely that within the next 10 years jets will go supersonic, its to expensive and the airframes do not last aslong as there are extreme amounts of pressure on the fuselage. And the main reason it will never come back is because the concorde lost 3/4's of its customers in 9/11, one date ended that airplane.

All of the conditions you listed are assessed on the initial and final approaches, and if the pilot deems landing is not safe he will abort the approach and go around. The only other scenario I can think of for a touch and go other than training or an air show is if after touching down there a runway incursion in front of him and he obviously would apply power and lift off to avoid collision.
shapdude78 11 months ago
@shapdude78 i dont know what you and the other guy are arguing about but you are both wrong. the reason for this touch and go is for entertainment only. the pilot is demonstrating the power of the aircraft. that's why theres a bunch of people watching. touch and go's are performed at airshows regularly to show off the airplane and give people a closer look without completely landing and stopping the aircraft.

@TestMiNuh I sincerely doubt this is intentional. What pilot would want to make a friviolous landing in the rain? The spectators are likely inside the airport and recording the plane landing because a) its a Concorde and b) its carrying Daddy (or whomever).

@Ieatutube have never seen a touch and go during an airshow? have you ever heard of the paris airshow? they do touch and gos regularly to demonstrate the power of the airplanes. especially the airbus. read the caption of the video. "Concorde carrying out a few low passes and a touch and go one rainy day in September 1984 at Aberdeen Airport"......few low passes??? why would he due a few low passes then a touch and go if he intended to land? this is simply a demonstration.

I love it when people speak with authority on a subject and have no idea what they're talking about.
As a pilot, (and I'm not suggesting I'm a professor on the topic) all of the reasons you listed for going around, with the exception of training (which is by far and away the most common) are ridiculous. How can you "not like the way things are going" during a landing? A landing lasts all of a few seconds; either you land or you crash. All of the conditions you listed are ass

turkishsoldierbaran 1 year ago
@turkishsoldierbaran The pilot touches down but he doesn't like the landing, either he landed to far into the runway so he won't have time to stop, he's going to fast, or the weather conditions are inhibiting a proper landing, so he punches the throttle and takes off to try again.
soupizgoodfood 1 year ago
@soupizgoodfood Personally I doubt it was due to pilot error. You know if your approach is poor well before you touch down, with your 2 options being: fix it or go-around. The touch-and go would most likely have been for a test flight or training. "Weather conditions inhibiting a proper landing" What does that even mean?
murray2612 1 year ago
@murray2612
1) In training multiple landings can be practiced without ever stopping the aircraft.
2) They are used in reaction to a bad landing. As I said before, if the pilot touches down and doesn't like what he sees, for whatever reason, he hits the throttle and takes off again.
3) They are used to test landing conditions. For example, if its raining and windy, the pilot touches down and doesn't like how things are going, he takes off again to retry.
These are facts, like it or not.
soupizgoodfood 1 year ago
@soupizgoodfood I know what a touch and go is, I've done hundreds of 'em, but i've never heard of anyone touching, assessing their landing, then deciding whether to 'go' or not. There simply shouldn't be anything new to see once you've landed. Wind and visibility can both be assessed on finals. These guys get paid the big bucks to land on the 1000' markers, not half way down the runway... on aspect and on speed.

scotsmun 1 year ago
know i know very well of this plane i just never looked up one of the questions i have always had. why is the front of the nose pointed downwards at such an extreme angle? wouldnt that cause excessive stress on the nose of the plane at high speeds before reaching higher altitudes?

@fightingisfortheweak Without the nose lowering their was no visability of the ground below for the pilots during takeoff,landing,and taxi.
martinishot 1 year ago
@fightingisfortheweak the nose was flexible,it pointed down when the pilot wanted it to and straight again when also needed.... superb plane taken out of service because of a Continental Airways fault hitting their tyre and causing an engine breach.....NOT Concords fault and a superb plane to see flying above you.....

@WillCrazie such an unfortunate event i know.. sad to say ive never seen one in person... sigh... and thats some extravagant design for a flexible nose that can withstand such high speeds.... i think the power was a little too much for someone and the hatred of another superb plane got the best of them.. miss the concorde.. thanks for the info!

Utterly amazing that they allowed pilots to touch and go, such an expensive aircraft, I don't think they'd let a pilot Touch n Go an Airbus A380 these days. The 80's was a different time period, not so much P.C. bull-sh*t.

The world of aviation stepped back ten paces when the Concorde was scrapped, to fly at that speed you need a military fighter. Think the man said twenty four miles in a minute. When at max cruising height Concorde can run on conventional engines at Mach2

I agree that Concorde is probably the most beautiful aircraft ever made. But, as I said, no one can really say which country was more responsible for the shape of the airframe and to use subsequent designs, such as the Mirage 2000 and the Rafale, as proof of a French legacy is clearly ridiculous. What I can say is that the experience gained from the British "V" bombers in the aerodynamics of the delta wing certainly contributed to the Concorde design, so maybe Concorde's beauty is British? :)
langdalepaul 1 year ago
I admit that the British aircraft industry has more or less collapsed in any kind of independent form, and nearly all projects today are joint. The cost of developing new military aircraft is prohibitive for any single company. You cite the Rafale and the Mirage (both Dassault), but these are hardly new designs. The Mirage 2000 first flew in 1978 and the Rafale in 1986. What new military aircraft has Dassault produced, on its own, in the last 25 years?

@PouChen i didnt say that french has all the credit, no not at all, it was anglo-french machine so credit goes to both, only thing i meant that is about designing, its pure french. and so far gb hasnt produced any aircraft of its own, it has produced with someother collaboration such as eurofighter typhon, they might be working on engine and other stuff and french were given the task to design it????? who knows?

indeed its a real beauty... no argument on that :) i dont know for sure if its french design, but who cares :P its really a sweet aircraft... and the mentioned mirage and eurofighter are sweet too :P

saamisweetu 1 year ago
@saamisweetu If you really think that the British aren't capable of designing things of beauty, first of all you're a bigot, and secondly, think of the Jaguar XKR and the Aston Martin DB9. Concorde really was a joint project and, although manufacture and construction was split between the two countries, I don't think anyone could say which parts were designed by which nationality. It most certainly wasn't France: airframe and UK: engines, as you suggest.
langdalepaul 1 year ago
@langdalepaul u r so dumb i didnt know. we are talking about the beauty of aircrafts. it was my suggestion that the design of the concord has 100% resemblance with mirage and dassault rafale so french probably r the designers. secondly here we are talking planes not the other things. if it is car then still gb's cars arent on top of beauty, they are beautifull though. cheer up
saamisweetu 1 year ago
@saamisweetu I brought up the analogy of cars to illustrate that your contention that something that is graceful and elegant must be French is a stupid (and false) stereotype.
langdalepaul 1 year ago
@langdalepaul are u mad?????? i didnt meant that. first of all i discussed it with pouchen n he got the meaning. its nothing against or in favour of any country. concorde's design has the resemblance in design with other french aircrafts, whereas french aircrafts are peice of beauty themselves and concorde itself but due to resemblane i suggested concord's being designated by french. there isnt any case of must.u idiot. migs, sukhois, f16 etc r not french but still beautiful machines. aaaaaarrr!

Sure, we have some nice planes out, the A380, the 787 dreamliner which is almost due out (10 times more modern looking than the A380 despite all the fuss).
