@Gydronats the fact that it had no flaps is what I was talking about...kt means knots (nautical miles per hour) and under 10k refers to the regulation that aircraft without any special clearance aren't allowed to travel more than 250 knots under 10000 feet for atc separation, etc
Answer: like nothing, because there IS NO turbulence. :)
By the time Concorde reached M2.02, it was at an altitude where the effects of turbulence were essentially non-existent. Both BA and AF loved to advertise the "no turbulence in supersonic flight" bit quite a lot!
At the back of each engine is are two half-ring shaped "buckets" that can move up and down. During reverse thrust, they both move together to form the shape of a clam-shell, and it's directly in front of the exiting thrust. The now-sealed buckets force the thrust flow to split, some of it goes upward and forward, some of it goes downward and forward... but it has the effect of slowing the ship down.
The engines themselves don't reverse, just the thrust-flow once it's out.
If you mean extend the visor, that is because the nose of the aircraft is quite large and hinders visibility during take off and landing as the angles of attack are quite high during t/o and landing. The more your pilot can see, the better! Trust me it is quite difficult to land when you can't see!
If you did indeed mean retract, that is because it streamlines the shape of the aircraft thus reducing drag and allowing higher airspeeds.
@xboxlivegstar11 Yeah I know what you mean! When I went from London to Orlando the only things the captain said were "hi welcome aboard etc...the meal is....The movie is....goodbye!" lol
@Doinkatron Since when does the captain of a commercial aircraft inform its passengers what the meals and movies onboard are? That is the job of the cabin crew.
Thank you for posting this video - it is most appreciated. I seen the Concord crusing in front of Waikiki Beach and it was an amazing experience. I am sorry that it had to be discontinued....
@qwertdr well stars are "suns" so to speak. but yeh gravity crushes them once they burn out gravity crushes them. and in most cases causes a super nova.
@SIPHNEY well i was 7 when i saw the 4th to last one fly from birmingham airport, and im 14 now. soooo... 2003? cars didnt start looki modern till late 05 to be fair
That's really cool that the captain informs you of takeoff and landing status... the plane seems to be pretty quiet from this video... and the engine seems to be more of a moan then a roar.
Great Vid, I flew on this bird back in 1999 and have the honour these days of working with alot of ex-concorde staff as I now work for BA - got the job the day Concorde made its last ever flight :-(
Any vid that has the cabin experiance of a conorde takeoff and landing is great in my eyes - only a few ever recorded this and no one ever will again. Thankyou
Thanks for comments. However, if I were a film crew and had the latest gizmo recording equiptment a lot of the quality would be lost on compression that was required to meet the max size stipulated by Youtube - sorry! Unfortunately, I was a tourist like most people and had a "crappy" camcorder

@soundlikeFabian if it wasnt the door would of been ripped off. and then it would tear a massive hole in the side and pull all the passangers out. and it would loose cabin preasure and the plane would crash. i dont think your suggestion is right. the thing goes faster then soung, what make you think its quiet

If the Americans didnt think they were better than everyone else, then they wouldnt get slated by everyone else.
While Concorde was being developed ,the yanks started developing their own SST, the Boeing 2707.After pouring more money in the design of the 2707 than the total amount of money spent developing Concorde, the 2707 was cancelled due to design complications. Following this the Americans became anti SST and the British had a long battle getting Concorde landings allowed in the USA. Permission was denied due to jealousy. Americans are not the best at everything, they just think they are.

Concorde is an exotic expensive piece of shit. The USA is the king of aviation ... military and commercial, and there isn't a fucking thing you can do about it you English nigger. Now pipe down and run along 'mate'.
USA is king of aviation? Dont make me laugh, why is it Boeing poach lots of British engineers? YOur jealous cos usa could never build anything like this cos your just tooooo thick
It's funny how the English (and Eurofags in general) always have some little 'in' ... some little factoid that is supposed to negate decades of obvious leadership by the USA. About the NASA Apollo missions they would point out that Van Braun was a German ... as if that is supposed to deny the USA? Huh? Sorry 'mate', but the USA is first in flight. I know you're butthurt over it. Show me your stealth bombers, stealth fighters, reusable orbiters, your moon landers, strategic bombers, etc ... nope!
Hey guess what you stupid nigger, the SOVIETS were the first in space, not the "Russians". Who's the clueless faggot now? I am fully aware that the USSR put the first satellite in space and the first man in space. The USSR does deserve credit for this. However, the USA was RIGHT behind them (literally Shephard was scheduled to go into space like a WEEK after Gagarin). And this was the last time that anybody was anywhere CLOSE to the USA in terms of space accomplishment. Sorry your country sucks.
Ok for a start im not black ok? Was it not NASA who spent millions on developing a space pen and the russians just used a pencil? UK has a big space industry making over £5 billion a year from 225 million input. For a small country we have had way more influence in the world than you ever have or ever will. British are liked........
Who said anything about black? Are you a racist or something? Ahhh ... more little meaningless 'tidbits' designed to make Eurofags and commies feel better about their shitty countries. We went to the moon 40 years ago and you're complaining that we use pens in space? You're making my point beautifully. WOW, you have a 'space industry'! How cute. The British are 'liked'? By who? Equally worthless EU members and brutal scam-artist 3rd world tyant governments? That's nothing to brag about, 'mate'.
Nigger is a noun in the English language, most notable for its usage in a derogatory context to refer to black people, and also as an informal slang term, among other contexts. The word originated as a term used in a neutral context to refer to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, itself a variation of the Latin adjective niger, meaning "black".
We have something here called a history, what do you have? YOu GOD DAM COCK SHUCKING SHUN OF A BITCH
Haha, you've been trolled. I don't equite 'nigger' with black people. 'Nigger' means 'ridiculous idiot'. This is the new way. You didn't get the memo? Of course the UK and Europe in general have a shitload of history. As you well know Western civilization didn't even arrive over here until 500 years ago, and even then in small amounts. And if you go FURTHER east from the UK you get even MORE history. Like Egypt or Iraq. Does that make those countries great? Nope, they are god-awful shitholes.
Difference is there are some good people there and they have an interesting history and we used to run their countries back in the day. The histroy you did have IE the Indians you managed to murder, nothing has really changed has it?
Right, because the USA is the king of military action against native populations, right? I can probably drag up at least 300+ years of English history that would dwarf our conflict with the native americans. Haha, Americans THEMSELVES were once victims of English tyranny. But we fought hard and killed your grip on the Americas. And I don't think England is a bad country because of this. I just don't think the USA is either. This is all ancient history, water under the bridge.
And furthermore, what does this have to do with aviation? Are you out of ammo or something? It sure sounds like it. I actually happen to like the English. But something has happened to you lately. Your worthless liberal press (similar to ours actually) has bombarded you 24 hours a day with anti-US sentiment, to the point where you have illusions that the USA is a terrible country and that your little has-been island is vastly superior (even in space??!!). We are old friends and should remain so.
@ar15expert wow cool to see after a year your still an active youtube user. was meary joking around when i said your a twat. read my other comments im not some little uk fanboy kid. us is cool but so is uk. there both great countrys
...anyone who uses "always" in an argument reveals him/herself for the ignorant fool that they are.
That said, I'm curious as to whether you realize that the Airbus A320 has 40% American parts and the A330 44% (ever wonder why Iran has never been able to purchase either of the above?)... and that several UK-made automobiles are chock full of American metal?
What ya gonna do now-- start walking everywhere you want to go? ;)
Interesting you should mention cars. After all, let's not forget that most American cars are designed (and owned) in Germany and built in Mexico. Let's also remember that there are many foreign components is US built aircraft. Why all the debate about who builds what using what ever proportion of foreign parts? As long as any plane I travel on is not built in China or Taiwan, I don't care! Euro/American manufacturing standards are basically the same and both are fine by me!
Oh dear, well there's one to avoid! I suppose it was inevitable given the obsession we have in the Western world with cheap production costs. Although, I'm sure the planes will be built to a higher standard than their toys and electronic goods, I just cannot overcome the knowledge that China seemingly have a cultural deficiency when it comes to quality control and engineering standards...
If it wasn't for a poorly maintained american pice of crap on which part of it fell onto that infamous runway in paris causing the whole tragedy anyway, then the Concorde simply wouldn't have crashed and over 100 people would still be here today and having great memories on what should have been a flight of a lifetime. I take no notcie of statistics as usually they are bullshit
excuse you, but continental airlines is the most safest airlines and most admired airline in america. it was a piece from an md-80 that fell of. continental no longer operates these aircraft and also refuse to use cheap frenchie craft.
1) it was an ILLEGAL piece from a DC10-30, not an MD80
2) the FOD from the CO aircraft was just one of the MANY reasons that the jet went down (e.g., being a ton overweight, taking off against a tail wind, a missing autoalignment spacer on the tire that blew, cockpit miscommunication, etc).
...so no need to get upset when these pissant little foreigners blame "Yankee" for the crash, as it only shows their ignorance as to the situation at hand.
...though, even the most basic understanding of statistics would inform you that that's a comparatively horrible record. Concorde should (again, speaking in terms of relativity) NEVER have crashed, due to its incredibly small worldwide fleet numbers. 1 crash, despite the amount of time which passed, gave it (statistically) one of the worst safety records ever. Don't get me wrong, I'm the world's biggest Concorde fan-- but the numbers are, as they are.
Sorry to disappoint, but there really wasn't anything noticable when we went through Mach 1. It was uneventful, except for the digital speed indicator clicking over to 1.00
The Concorde flew to Iceland?!?! Why?!?! There's NOTHING there.........it's just a big rock?!

how do the reverse thrust of the concorde work
CaptainFelixTan1 6 months ago
@CaptainFelixTan1
At the back of each engine is are two half-ring shaped "buckets" that can move up and down. During reverse thrust, they both move together to form the shape of a clam-shell, and it's directly in front of the exiting thrust. The now-sealed buckets force the thrust flow to split, some of it goes upward and forward, some of it goes downward and forward... but it has the effect of slowing the ship down.
The engines themselves don't reverse, just the thrust-flow once it's out.

Slow, short range, hard to fly

Like I said, Americans just think they're the best at everything, doesn't mean they actually are.

Funny, that's exactly what every idiot from every country ever seems to think. Go talk to an Italian, you'll get the same thing. I get it a lot from Brits too. It's not an American thing.
ar15expert 3 years ago
Sorry, I meant to say, it's not JUST an American thing. My point is that every headstrong male from every damn country has some damn chain of evidence that proves why his country is so awesome, no matter how decrepit and irrelevant it might be. Wouldn't you agree that we are all a bit like this?

You really are an arsehole aren't you ImmortalSynn? So many European cars may have yank metal, but thankfully you lot don't build the cars. Like I originally said, if you could be bothered to read, it was a yank plain that was poorly maintained by yanks, who just couldn't be arsed, that led to bits falling off that DC10.

Concorde is an exotic expensive piece of shit. The USA is the king of aviation ... military and commercial, and there isn't a fucking thing you can do about it you English nigger. Now pipe down and run along 'mate'.

USA is king of aviation? Dont make me laugh, why is it Boeing poach lots of British engineers? YOur jealous cos usa could never build anything like this cos your just tooooo thick

It's funny how the English (and Eurofags in general) always have some little 'in' ... some little factoid that is supposed to negate decades of obvious leadership by the USA. About the NASA Apollo missions they would point out that Van Braun was a German ... as if that is supposed to deny the USA? Huh? Sorry 'mate', but the USA is first in flight. I know you're butthurt over it. Show me your stealth bombers, stealth fighters, reusable orbiters, your moon landers, strategic bombers, etc ... nope!

Yeah whatever keeps you happy. Think the russians were in space first werent they? Hey buddy....your a clueless twat
Sterlingjob 3 years ago
Hey guess what you stupid nigger, the SOVIETS were the first in space, not the "Russians". Who's the clueless faggot now? I am fully aware that the USSR put the first satellite in space and the first man in space. The USSR does deserve credit for this. However, the USA was RIGHT behind them (literally Shephard was scheduled to go into space like a WEEK after Gagarin). And this was the last time that anybody was anywhere CLOSE to the USA in terms of space accomplishment. Sorry your country sucks.
ar15expert 3 years ago
Ok for a start im not black ok? Was it not NASA who spent millions on developing a space pen and the russians just used a pencil? UK has a big space industry making over £5 billion a year from 225 million input. For a small country we have had way more influence in the world than you ever have or ever will. British are liked........
Sterlingjob 3 years ago
Who said anything about black? Are you a racist or something? Ahhh ... more little meaningless 'tidbits' designed to make Eurofags and commies feel better about their shitty countries. We went to the moon 40 years ago and you're complaining that we use pens in space? You're making my point beautifully. WOW, you have a 'space industry'! How cute. The British are 'liked'? By who? Equally worthless EU members and brutal scam-artist 3rd world tyant governments? That's nothing to brag about, 'mate'.

Nigger is a noun in the English language, most notable for its usage in a derogatory context to refer to black people, and also as an informal slang term, among other contexts. The word originated as a term used in a neutral context to refer to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, itself a variation of the Latin adjective niger, meaning "black".
We have something here called a history, what do you have? YOu GOD DAM COCK SHUCKING SHUN OF A BITCH
Sterlingjob 3 years ago
Haha, you've been trolled. I don't equite 'nigger' with black people. 'Nigger' means 'ridiculous idiot'. This is the new way. You didn't get the memo? Of course the UK and Europe in general have a shitload of history. As you well know Western civilization didn't even arrive over here until 500 years ago, and even then in small amounts. And if you go FURTHER east from the UK you get even MORE history. Like Egypt or Iraq. Does that make those countries great? Nope, they are god-awful shitholes.
ar15expert 3 years ago
Difference is there are some good people there and they have an interesting history and we used to run their countries back in the day. The histroy you did have IE the Indians you managed to murder, nothing has really changed has it?
Sterlingjob 3 years ago
Right, because the USA is the king of military action against native populations, right? I can probably drag up at least 300+ years of English history that would dwarf our conflict with the native americans. Haha, Americans THEMSELVES were once victims of English tyranny. But we fought hard and killed your grip on the Americas. And I don't think England is a bad country because of this. I just don't think the USA is either. This is all ancient history, water under the bridge.
ar15expert 3 years ago
And furthermore, what does this have to do with aviation? Are you out of ammo or something? It sure sounds like it. I actually happen to like the English. But something has happened to you lately. Your worthless liberal press (similar to ours actually) has bombarded you 24 hours a day with anti-US sentiment, to the point where you have illusions that the USA is a terrible country and that your little has-been island is vastly superior (even in space??!!). We are old friends and should remain so.

...anyone who uses "always" in an argument reveals him/herself for the ignorant fool that they are.
That said, I'm curious as to whether you realize that the Airbus A320 has 40% American parts and the A330 44% (ever wonder why Iran has never been able to purchase either of the above?)... and that several UK-made automobiles are chock full of American metal?
What ya gonna do now-- start walking everywhere you want to go? ;)
ImmortalSynn 3 years ago
Interesting you should mention cars. After all, let's not forget that most American cars are designed (and owned) in Germany and built in Mexico. Let's also remember that there are many foreign components is US built aircraft. Why all the debate about who builds what using what ever proportion of foreign parts? As long as any plane I travel on is not built in China or Taiwan, I don't care! Euro/American manufacturing standards are basically the same and both are fine by me!

"As long as any plane I travel on is not built in China or Taiwan"
...hate to break this to you, but you do realize that the Airbus A320 will now be built in China as well, do you not?
ImmortalSynn 3 years ago
Oh dear, well there's one to avoid! I suppose it was inevitable given the obsession we have in the Western world with cheap production costs. Although, I'm sure the planes will be built to a higher standard than their toys and electronic goods, I just cannot overcome the knowledge that China seemingly have a cultural deficiency when it comes to quality control and engineering standards...

If it wasn't for a poorly maintained american pice of crap on which part of it fell onto that infamous runway in paris causing the whole tragedy anyway, then the Concorde simply wouldn't have crashed and over 100 people would still be here today and having great memories on what should have been a flight of a lifetime. I take no notcie of statistics as usually they are bullshit
MisterScania 4 years ago 3
excuse you, but continental airlines is the most safest airlines and most admired airline in america. it was a piece from an md-80 that fell of. continental no longer operates these aircraft and also refuse to use cheap frenchie craft.
simpsonstewie 3 years ago
Actually, neither of you has much of a clue.
1) it was an ILLEGAL piece from a DC10-30, not an MD80
2) the FOD from the CO aircraft was just one of the MANY reasons that the jet went down (e.g., being a ton overweight, taking off against a tail wind, a missing autoalignment spacer on the tire that blew, cockpit miscommunication, etc).
...so no need to get upset when these pissant little foreigners blame "Yankee" for the crash, as it only shows their ignorance as to the situation at hand.
ImmortalSynn 3 years ago
As for the video itself, absolutely love it... particularly the narration. Absolute 5star!
ImmortalSynn 4 years ago
...though, even the most basic understanding of statistics would inform you that that's a comparatively horrible record. Concorde should (again, speaking in terms of relativity) NEVER have crashed, due to its incredibly small worldwide fleet numbers. 1 crash, despite the amount of time which passed, gave it (statistically) one of the worst safety records ever. Don't get me wrong, I'm the world's biggest Concorde fan-- but the numbers are, as they are.

lol guys - you cannot hear breaking through the sound barrier if you allready traveling at the speed of sound or about to do that.
it should actually get quieter in the cabin when you reach mach 1
