Concorde Final Take off BA (Awesome Angle)

[linofreek52]

what have we got now that even comes close to this aircraft ? Even the Harrier has been

given away ? Cant beleive how good this plane looks not even out of place in 2012.

[MERCKXWOOD]

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!

[nenblom]

@MERCKXWOOD Amen!!

[KowBoySpace]

Evolution created us to find certain sounds pleasant and certain sounds unpleasant. What on earth did it have in mind when it makes anyone that listens to that go tingly all over?

[MAYATRIP73]

WOW mighty sound !!! She is beautiful.

[mikaeel2]

Mighty..

[qnsskywalker]

yes hi , who ever disliked this video , are just assholes who are jelous they didn't get this video them selfs , thanks

[moranih]

Most beautiful, satisfying feeling @1:35- the end. Absolute feeling of fulfillment for me, like I conquered all..............:)

[smilo996]

Concorde (for BA at least) was profitable right up until the crash. If you do not take into account the develoment costs then yes it was.

Bit like saying a car costs very little to run if you do not account for depreciation, unfortunately as it is a thing of beauty and and engineering triumh.

[CUDOOO24]

400 km/h weeeeeeeeeeee

[brightlights456X]

Concorde or SR-71

Which is better?

[smeary10]

@brightlights456X - At what?

[brightlights456X]

@smeary10

Which is the better plane overall?

[crackerjack777]

@brightlights456X one is a passenger plane the other is a spy plane. you cant really compare them

[brightlights456X]

@crackerjack777

If you had to see one at an air rshow, which one would you choose?

[crackerjack777]

@brightlights456X sr71, but thats because ive seen the concorde and havent seen an sr71 flying.

[brightlights456X]

@crackerjack777

Why can't you just answer the question. Overall, which is the better piece of engineering?

[crackerjack777]

@brightlights456X because there is no answer. Its an opinion and my opinion is both are marvels of engineering.

[brightlights456X]

@crackerjack777 I really feel like giving you a spanking! ,:O

Last time, if i could offer you one as a present, which one would you like to OWN!?

[crackerjack777]

@brightlights456X i suppose id take the sr71. of course i cant take my friends along if choose that so maybe the concorde =)

[brightlights456X]

@crackerjack777

So the SR-71 wins (as it can carry two people) thank you!

[crackerjack777]

@brightlights456X i have more than 2 friends though

[brightlights456X]

@crackerjack777

That your best friend.

[jonny96]

@brightlights456X Concorde wins, it doesn't piss fuel everywhere when its not going supersonic! It carries 100 people, not 2! Any military can strap 2 massive jets onto a sleek fuselage and make it go really fast, but for 2 countries to come together and make a profitable (back in the day) aircraft that can super cruise on the edge of space, get from LHR to JFK in just over 3 hours, and drink champagne while not wearing a space suit! Thats Engineering!!

[brightlights456X]

@jonny96

"drink champagne while not wearing a space suit!"

Oohhh yeah.....I forgot about about the space suits they had to wear. You're right, Concorde wins.

[jonny96]

@brightlights456X haha nice reply!

[brightlights456X]

@jonny96

:D

[sthill1993]

@jonny96 Concorde (for BA at least) was profitable right up until the crash in Paris and then the September 11th attacks. Besides, she is profitable beyond measure when it comes to soul,prode and spirit!

[jonny96]

@sthill1993 Nice comment, Oil prices now would have killed it for sure though. But saying that, september 11th did have a direct result on world Oil prices as it sparked more conflict in the gulf, who knows! She's still the queen of the skies in my eyes.

[smeary10]

@brightlights456X - Concorde.

[gaz141]

I must be misunderstanding you then. From BA's point of view, there were 4 scheduled landings to/from JFK every day from 1976 until 2000 and then resumed for a year until 2003 when they retired the fleet. There were also all the chartered flights to the Caribbean,South America, Africa, Middle East, Far East and Australasia. You do the math, and not once was there a crash. Air France ran a similar schedule for the same amount of years and only had that 1 awful crash. More crashes than landings??

[keelbluese]

for all the time concorde was flying the RAF had nothing that could catch it

[aspiringdrummer17]

@keelbluese Apart from the Lightning

[mitchdaytonam3]

@keelbluese The Lightning could, it was proved in 1985. BA tested Concorde against A Lightning, F104, F15 and a few other fighters, the Lightning was the only thing that could pull on Concorde, the rate of climb on the Lightning is unbelieveable, it can zoom climb to peak at 88,000ft or something rediculous like that.

[brightlights456X]

Is the man crying in this video?

[pilotanthony]

its amazing to think she will be in london is just over 3 hours, we have stepped backwards in technology this rarely happens

[HuskyMaxx]

@pilotanthony and now the USA has no means of putting anyone in space thanks to the disaster we have in the White House and Congress. The world is less advanced now than it was in the 1970s...

[pilotanthony]

@HuskyMaxx such a shame

[ImmortalSynn]

@HuskyMaxx

You gotta be joking. You're trying to blame the current President and Congress on something that was more or less decided a decade ago? Get educated....

[DarkWaterNY]

@ImmortalSynn good point these idiots have to clue the shuttle program's ending was scheduled for this time regardless of who is president. The shuttles lived their life time.

[ShadowZekromX]

Zekrom went on a concorde once.

He donated $3000000000000000000000 and thy still retired it.

SHIT!

[sirbarnes81]

The space shuttle! Concorde will shit it!

God save the queen .

[msounderson]

Absolutely lovely!!! 

[msounderson]

4 rolls-royce olympus 593 engines!!! Awesome power

[CoonShoot]

It's loud. It pollutes.

But wow........

[ThePiouuuuu]

11 ppl are jealous yankee of france-uk airplane

[ThePiouuuuu]

@superskullmaster where the fuck is your burger, fat yank ?

[superskullmaster]

@ThePiouuuuu YOU started the shit talking. Whats your fucking problem? We bail out all your fucking countries when its time for war. And you have the nerve to shit talk us and put us all in the same category. Do I sit there and talk shit about UK and European people? No.

[ThePiouuuuu]

@superskullmaster europe > usa

get the fuck fat yankee hahaha

[superskullmaster]

@ThePiouuuuu hey your entitled to your opinion. Who does the world call when they need help?

[superskullmaster]

@ThePiouuuuu And every negative comment just confirms that all are in fact jealous of us.

[ThePiouuuuu]

@superskullmaster jealous of being fat ?

god ...

[superskullmaster]

@ThePiouuuuu fat with money? I suppose. We can do the all day and night. Your just proving my point.

[ThePiouuuuu]

@superskullmaster looool

no no no we have more money than you.

look at those ricans who are poor because of the crisis, don't have any accomadation ? hahah

what about social secutiry ?

[superskullmaster]

@ThePiouuuuu looks like your a little obsessed with the USA. I didn't even know anything about "rican" poverty. Must be slow news over there to report that kinda of bullshit. BTW what country do people immigrate to for a better life?

[ThePiouuuuu]

@superskullmaster what country ? well europe isn't a coutnry, but there are more africans and romanians, russians who immigrate in europe (uk, france, spain) than mexicans to the usa

[superskullmaster]

@ThePiouuuuu who said anything about mexicans? Im talking legally.

[kcirdrab]

More of a fighter than a passenger ship.

[deathsmate100]

At 0.33 my ears exploded

[cessna9417l2]

Thumbs up if you think the: Olympus 593 was the best turbojet ever made

[xDM2k9x]

11 people didnt fly on Concorde

[MURRA1]

Concorde was an amazing machine and will never be forgotten.

[zingmatter]

the most beautiful plane ever built...

[fifou077]

@zingmatter : agree with you 

[heroofwinds9]

that thing is a fuckin monster. didnt it have afterburners and shit?

[foxiebox2]

Love it, I only flew on a Air France Concorde once from Paris to JFK and it was fantastic!. I sat in seat 2A and just remember pretending that I did this all the time, especially when it came to in the info on in-flight trimming using the fuel tanks. I was like a kid in a candy store. Would have been nice to be sitting next to Uma Thurman but that would have pushed the envelope! What a BEAutiful aircraft! and Uma has nice ankles :-)

[beaglemonster]

looks like a spaceship

[jonnygb4]

What really makes me smile about the concorde, Is that its not American.

[Coaljet]

What glorious noise. Bring back noisy jets!!!

[emiratesA380NCL]

11 people can f*ck off

[lemmyplanes]

if it wasnt for those french c***s who couldnt make it pay and their buddies at airbus who pulled the plug , she would still be flying . ba made a profit with concorde,

FACT!

[konrad4212]

I wish the British could get one of them back in the air in 2012. She would make the show! love that bird!

[adamski895RS]

How can you not like concorde, wtf.

[vortex247]

Heard one of these back at school next to JFk.... Incredibly loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looked pretty awesome, though...

[megashegem]

11 people are russian TU-144 lovers.

[ponymad202]

it didnt seem to be going that fast at take off!

[Duncan038]

One of the most beautiful machines ever made by the human race , along with the E Type Jaguar and the English Electric Deltic locomotive.

[renzoborges1]

beautiful! : D

[Vale1998Pilot]

11 people its idiot... you dont know nothing about the airplanes history WE MISS YOU CONCORDE!!!

[ctsli11]

737 people miss the concorde and ten idiots do not!

[shashikashalendra]

Awesome passenger flight than A380 ever.

[danstarone]

@midlandflyguy Branson wanted concord but BA wouldnt sell, however branson offered the same price as BA bought them for....£1

[danstarone]

concord, nothin ever will compare :-( i love the smog line around, 1 day yanks will start to reduce greenhouse gases

[TheLastPaladin]

@danstarone

Yeah. Keep blaming America, bro. But perhaps you'd better start hating on China, because they pollute WAY more than we do.

[danstarone]

@TheLastPaladin 'hate' america? dont think so, id die to be able to live there mucker! yer i know the chinks pollute more than any1...thats a fact!

[TheLastPaladin]

@danstarone

My mistake. I figured from your tone that you were one of those people who mindlessly hate the USA (and there are plenty of reasons to have issues with us, believe me). I apologize.

[acbulgin2]

@danstarone With respect, if you want us to reduce carbon emissions, then help us god damn it! So long as people around the world allow themselves to be suborned and bought out by American money and allied business interests, for just so long will they say and do nothing about this. The UK needs to tell the US to fuck off, but like our politicians, yours are a bunch of invertebrates, as are most of your people and most people in most places. Declare war on us you wusses!

[danstarone]

@acbulgin2 lololol obv PMT week for you then lolol

[acbulgin2]

@danstarone PMT? I guess that means "premenstrual tension". Ok, perhaps I could have put it more eloquently and subtly, but it is difficult not to overstate the case when the circumstances are so dire. Frankly, I sometimes despair of humanity. We are drowning in ourselves at nearly 7 billion, and no one cares or does anything. This is the REAL problem that makes all the others infinitely worse. To be quite candid, I am hoping for a major asteroid strike or an ice age. Your thoughts?

[danstarone]

@acbulgin2 2012 is only next yr...fingers crossed

[CMK102485]

I had a chance to fly on the Concorde and I turned it down

[SirDeanosity]

Is it just me or does this bird accelerate as quickly as it looks on the vid?

[Butchuk2007]

@SirDeanosity Yeah she shifted.

[danstarone]

@SirDeanosity 1 of only afew planes in the world that can out run a missile

[cnknguyen]

every passenger jet needs afterburners and delta wings..

[tabaqo1337]

9 people crashed their concorde

[tregino]

What !!! you only have 277,681 views . fantastic angle as advertised

[macdaddy912]

"youve lost that loving feeling......."

[nmgutt]

The concorde looks fantastic!

[12345678998800]

thumps up if u want concorde back

[ThiefOfMovies]

@12345678998800 Sure, it was a terrific plane. But im quite sure it had more crashes than successful landing.

[gaz141]

@ThiefOfMovies i seriously wonder about the intelligence of some people, it doesn't take much to google things, why make such a stupid comment?

[ThiefOfMovies]

@gaz141 Not that it is any of your business but I did not just "google" it. I happen to know things from common knowledge.

[ddmaddog29]

Come back on this baby from the U.S to U.K had to circle the airport for 20 mins.... we were early :D and take off well that was full of awesomeness..... miss this baby so much!!!

[Tilan123]

♥✈✈✈✈CONCORDE✈✈✈✈♥

[TheDubGasm]

most beautiful jet to grace the air

[lovesalfie]

The take off must have been quite an experience! it is such a shame concorde does'nt fly nomore, remarkable piece of engineering!

[ThanosB18C]

we miss you CONCORDE

[331RBD]

And that is that.

So very sad.

[diane6135]

the finest airship every built.

[ctsli11]

9 people don't like the concorde

@THEBAZOOKANOVA 11

[dod4luce]

@ctsli11 that will be nine or more jealous americans. they never did like the fact that britain and france were ahead where planes were concerned!!

[broadband1414]

@ctsli11 Obviously.. Such a stupid comment haha...

[DiNoZsEy]

@broadband1414

Mr. obvious is obvious..

[pietrovaldes]

one of the best airlines

[shaddapushaddap]

throwing vapour. Is he for real

[20PhantoM07]

Go baby, go.

[sirbarnes81]

@dianea2009 ,I live in Walton on Thames ,remember it well, my house used to shake.

[Moonraker1974]

Anglo/French, Not British.

[20PhantoM07]

@Moonraker1974 That's a good one, let me think.. British Aerospace designs, Rolls Royce Olympus jets.... no not British at all.

[MICKEYISLOWD]

@20PhantoM07 the engines were developed by bristol siddeley engines company,the only engine in the world capable of the job.later the company was owned by rolls royce.under the signed treaty both france and britain had to share the design and build EQUALLY or face huge penalties....Concord was entirely Anglo/french conception!!!

[maddogmcrae]

@MICKEYISLOWD Not entirely Anglo/French. You also have to add Canadian too, as several of the engineers from AVRO Canada, lead by Jim Floyd developed the Concord. The engines were based on the Iroquois engines that were going to be used in the Arrow before that project got cancelled.

[dollyfarinelli]

This was so beautiful! SUX SO BAD to see it go!

[snico]

It was grounded because people didnt want to fly Concorde anymore due to the Paris crash, it was losing lots of money and wasnt financially stable to fly it anymore.

The crash was NOT a concorde defect, it was due to a piece of metal from a Continental airlines plane that took off minuted before bursting the tyre

[james75976]

THIS IS FANTASTIC GOOD 666nocturnal666

[haydensupra]

the vulcan still flys it doesnt make a profit and isnt fuel efficent bring this girl out of the closet shes amazing

[20PhantoM07]

@haydensupra well said, nice to read a well thought out comment for a change. Bravo.

[patrickwhite100]

omg :( beautiful

[MrMusclefish]

BEST OF BRITISH

[backpackerable]

@MrMusclefish and french... sorry bro, two governments on this project!

[MrMusclefish]

@backpackerable Shut up idiot

[backpackerable]

@MrMusclefish yu'r so rude... what's your problem man? I ve just corrected the facts. Do you need to insult people when they tell the truth??? think about it. You re pathetic Mr....

[PlaneAndTVtechfan]

One crash, and Concorde gets grounded. People are so scared and paranoid nowadays!

[ImmortalSynn]

@PlaneAndTVtechfan

It's not THAT it crashed, that caused the grounding. It's WHY it crashed: a single-point failure, involving a known structural defect.

That sort of thing does indeed scare the crap outta regulators.

It's also not the first time it's happened.

Similar circumstances befell the DC10 (in all countries) as well as the 727 (in several Latin American countries) before this.

[grifter123321]

Only plane to go into a museum, which hasn't been superseded! What a waste.

[theonlyantony]

'A beautiful machine' as my dad used to say as we watched it fly over Richmond.

[2011joeblack]

What a sweet sound at 0.33

Afterburners on a passenger jet ?

were they mad ? !

our grandchildren will say )

[HypoTurtleProduction]

I've seen like 5 take off's of the Concorde and it always gets an INCH away from hitting the ground on take off... Scary

[Deltapilot96]

almost tail strike :o

[TheBadameco]

@Deltapilot96 Concorde has a small heel in rear to don't damage the tail

[markusa]

theres more to just grounding it because of one accident.

[RedSpecial18]

UFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1:47

Canarsie climb?

was it just me or did anyone else 0:41

[Paraffinmeister]

Without doubt mankind's most beutiful creation. What a shame she will never grace the skies again.

[1BustedMyth]

Speed Bird, a true Lady

[Dianea2009]

The best of British. I lived in Weybridge, Surrey where a majority of the parts were made before going to Filton, Bristol. We had the pleasure of 3 Concordes flying over our house, one in the morning, one just after lunch time and the one in the evening back in the early 1990s. Concorde flights were so common place that folk didn't pay too much attention to her. I bet they miss her now though. She was the only civil aircraft to rattle our letter box with her afterburners on - what a beauty!

[figure261]

conorde is the Bishope

boeing 747 is the queen

[tim60s321]

thanks for this great vid--have a look at the brilliant "concorde takes off from Oshkosh wisconsin" a truly spectacular sight and a superb display of what this baby can do

[xoio]

I hope the videographer had their earplugs in for that!!!

Also... if that's heathrow... how did they get 'inside' the parimeter? - Did they work at the airport, thus have clearance?

[markusgp]

It's hard to believe that such a technological wonder is a thing from the past

[dmitrybobrov]

Master piece of European Engineering!!!

[tomibewi]

i remember i was in an open shopping center in london on holiday and a tribute filght was on above us they even stopped the casual music so we could hear the raw of the gorgeous pratney & witt engines R.i.P

[DrCabbage1]

@tomibewi Concorde had Rolls Royce Olympus Engines (modified Avro Vulcan powerplants) - not Pratt & Whitney

[BBQFanNo1]

@DrCabbage1 They were also Afterburning Rolls Royce Engines too. The RAF Olympus Vulcan actually had Afterburning Rolls Royce Engines in flight until 1965. I would have loved to have seen that Vulcan. Should have saved a couple for Air Shows. The Concorde with Afterburners on is said to have 50,000 lbs static thrust each engine. World record. That's 200,000 lbs static thrust combined
