Concord aterragem em Kai Tak

[Elthehablo]

How did the Concorde fly to Honk Kong? Because it's not allowed to go supersonic above land...

[ynotu2night]

@Elthehablo A great circle track - quickest route between two points on the earths surface - would have taken it right over the arctic, which is mostly frozen ocean :)

[MichaxMassega]

Ah tehs eehadpohoines dont work.

[MichaxMassega]

Cocnorde is one of my favrote aiprlanes isnt it ina msuem in France.

[MichaxMassega]

Wow! YouTube has over so many videos! Congratulations to everyone who made it such a success!

[brancodoes]

Marvelous video!!!. Do you know why this plane stop flying?

[stevegauth30]

@brancodoes the cost was astronomical, the risk was high, and it was hard just to find airports that would allow them to land and take off, due to the extremely loud noise of the concord. The paris crash was pretty much the last straw they were looking for to ground her.we will miss it.

[brancodoes]

@stevegauth30 Thank you for the answer. 

[lucasv0]

queria ver ele pousar na pista 13 kkkkk

[jonathantomasigrun]

ATERRAGEM É FODA HEIN

[AirbusBoeingConcorde]

One of my favourite plane

[tuckty89]

thumbs for concorde :)

[bill123123100]

brazil ?????

[wongsilun]

@bill123123100 Hong Kong Kai Tak airport which was shut down since 1998.

[Chrisy299]

The special here is that this is a rare landing on Kai Tak RWY 31 because she turned to the right here. Regular is the approach on RWY 13 and then a turn to left.

Nice.

[lamolei]

adoro

[Ney8666]

Muito bom seu video, gostei!!

Brazil

[neotokyomedia]

Great video

[samfb9]

It out roars any other Aircraft thats a definite!

[tetramoo]

Poor Concorde!a punctured tyre caused its demise into the aviation history books, RIP all the unfortunate souls that died on that tragic day.

[TheEsteban1515]

Awesome

Love Kai Tak

Love the Concorde in both BA & AF lieries

It's awesome to see clasic airplanes in a classic and now closed airport

[tomallmark1]

I wanna see concorde fly again and mabye even do some public flights :)

[chanyitian]

I MISS KAI TAK AND THE CONCORDE. EVER SINCE KAI TAK WAS CLOSED, I SELDOM GET TO SEE PLANES FLYING THAT LOW FROM MY BEDROOM AGAIN:(

[lancezabala]

I heard from the news that Air France is planning to spend a lot of money just to make this marvelous plane fly again... :)

Now there going under restoration works cuz they said it should be ready for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. i hope everything will work out just fine..:)

[lancezabala]

i heard from the news that Air France is planning to make this marvelous plane fly again... :) i hope so..heheh

[skagirl42]

fantastic footage ! thank you

[HFsurfer]

From 0:18 to 0:28, all engines in reverse thrust! Beautiful noise!

[han0115]

I have no idea why they got rid of such a good aircraft? I would like to know?

[Bigalinjapan]

@han0115 Because it was NOT good at all. Neither technologically nor economically.

Supersonic travel brings a lot of engineering problems along. If the Concorde had been able to maintain Supercruise (check Wiki), it would have had a chance in my opinion.

[Chrisrex83]

@Bigalinjapan  I don't quite understand what you mean...Concorde did maintain supersonic cruise without afterburners, it was the Russian counterpart (Tu-144) which could not unless it ran it's afterburners throughout the flight, in turn wasting fuel. Also, although Concorde was old analogue technology, it was the first to have fly-by-wire ;)

[beergut111]

@Bigalinjapan it could. reheats shut off at mach 1.7.....the russian piece of shit couldnt make mach 2 if it was dropped from orbit.

[orbits2]

Money and the sound barrier

[CaptainRyan242]

@han0115 bloody ass polotics

[elite055]

Concorde + Xb-70 were the 2 greatest looking aircraft in my opinion, always loved the delta wing design

[Fuckdencio]

two classics: kai tak and concord

[qwertdr]

Concorde is spelt, well like how I spelt it.

[BigMikeSS420]

that would be an awesome plane to pilot... looks fun :)

[orbits2]

easier than a cessna 172

[paddyandy]

British Airways and Air France were the only airline company's to have the concorde..

On 10 April 2003, Air France and British Airways simultaneously announced that they would retire Concorde later that year. They cited low passenger numbers following the 25 July 2000 crash, the slump in air travel following the September 11 attacks and rising maintenance costs.

[qwertdr]

A lot of people get the wrong impress from this quote.

Passenger numbers dropped since the crash, but not because of. When it returned to service in Nov '01, tickets were sold in minutes - Concorde's reputation was most definitely strong.

[thedayitriedtodie]

a michael jackson's personal fav.... not too thick, but long... fits anywhere, and above all, makes u come real fast!

[JLPVIDEO]

Have you noticed the nose raising @ 0.44sec?

[worlock1422]

yes on landing the nose is raised from 15degs down up to 5degs to keep the nose from hitting stuff on the ground...

[qwertdr]

Yes, that's one of the most famous things about Concorde.

[joebayron]

beautiful...........

[syntaxerror9]

What a wing!

[Samilitage]

I really dont understand why the concorde does not fly anymore. There are so much rich people. It doesnt matter if they have to pay 200 or 20000 per ticket. They want to be as fast as possible.

[jimflane]

The reason they don't fly anymore is because they were an extremely expensive aircraft to operate for the airlines (BA & AF). Also due to noise restrictions within the US, they were not allowed to fly over land, and were thus limited to only coastal airports. This greatly reduced the number of routes they could fly and further reduced profits.

[nyyankeefan2009]

and the paris crash started it's downfall

[qwertdr]

No, they could fly over land, but only subsonically.

They found ways around this however and in some cases, such as deserts - they could fly over them.

Over 60 US airports were Concorde charter destinations and anyone who would want to charter Concorde to fly at any of those airports could.

[millyx48]

Great video posting of Concorde.

Concorde no longer in our skies.

British Airways - SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[qwertdr]

It wasn't really BA.

Learn more about the situation (FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE, not the random crap some people on here say) before you point the finger.

[jeffreyklm]

this is the Concorde wich is now at the Intrepid Aircraft carrier in NYC!!

it also was the concorde with the fasted flight from LHR to JFK.

I LOVE G-BOAD

[emosandknives]

ahh it wasnt the 13 approach

[TonyFirelli]

whoops sorry lol It should of landed other way where is has too turn over the houses.

[TonyFirelli]

This Concorde landed back wards it shood of

[Razor1778]

i bet kai tak scared the shit out of some pilots because you can land straight you have to go around a moutain the land sideways on the runway

[westindude]

Kai Tak ..No longer exists...was a very nice airport

[Apollo580]

But was scary as shit to land at. lol

[WildReapers]

good plane

[guitaristlad]

its the macdaddy of comercial planes

[CptrossBurke]

was ;)

[erimtuna]

there are no windows ??? Its BOooooringg

[laminarwing]

of course there are !! what are you talking about ?

[erimtuna]

no buddy. look carefully. and look other videos

[laminarwinq]

what T F are you talking about ?? Concord HAS windows !

[sfgomes101]

there are windows ...

[doncoyote]

This must be one of the very seldom cargo versions of the Concorde.....once widely known and admired for its express parcel delivery....

[skyhook01]

you mean the russian sst. that was used for mail delivery, not concorde.

[qwertdr]

Youre just talking crap, you know that.

[27106204]

Are you 'special needs'?

[r1o0o1m]

i think you need medication for deficiency of jest perception. seriously, i hear life expectancy is in Months.

[uouvictuorxD]

belo vídeo

[Chrisrex83]

Concorde has to be the most beautiful aircraft ever built...We miss you Concorde!

[CVetteMan1111]

Beautiful plane... Fantastic photography...

Wish these babies were still flying.

[CoolOrb]

Superb video photography !

[JChow7a]

THE BRITISH AIRWAYS WORLD'S FAVORITE AIRLINES----> this slogan was about more than 10 yrs ago...so what's the new slogan for BA like?

[danoney]

Boa Rita! És a Rita Barbas?

[abnnassif]

Great picture quality!

[vargas37]

what a beautiful machine1

[Acepilot2k7]

as robotusch said, the concorde can lnad on runway 13, I saw it do it in another video.

[robotusch]

The wheel wass there to stop any damage occuring in case of an overrotation on either takeoff or landing. And Concorde was perfectly able to execute the runway 13 landing, perhaps it was the weather that was causing the runway 31 landing.

[LordFabs]

Concorde was designed to take off and land in any situation a 747 could.

[dubkat]

Doh...Concorde was being desinged well before the 747. Dont compare the two...Concorde is is a different league...miles above Boring Boeing

[fannybaba]

the noise comes from the engine

[pistonfan]

when its taxiing its seems like it riding really high

[ahberny]

wooow 2 legends that we will see no more concorde and Kai tak

[747131]

What a plane and in a perfect location. The 'Landor' scheme was BAs best, particularly on Concorde. Coincedentally, visited this very Concorde in New York in August.

[Kuitar]

thats a loud mothafucka!

lol

I love that plane so much(R.I.P)

[Spintuto67]

aargh the noise so irritating and why does the concorde has some wheels stickin out of the back of it?

[warmaster2006]

What could you expect from a aircraft with turbojets instead of turbofans? (Bristol Olympus 693 with afterburners)

[zola011]

Olympus 593!

[warmaster2006]

You are right...wrong typing!

[shrek087]

The world took a giant technolgical leap into the past when they grounded concorde.

[bebopPete]

Kai Tak closed in 1998. Concorde stopped flying in 2003. The landing we saw was a "reverse" approach (316 degrees instead of the usual 136 degrees) because Concorde didn't have the maneuverability at slow airspeeds to negotiate the sharp turn on the final approach onto runway 13.

[MacKaspi13]

@bebopPete How many videos have you seen ? Concorde was able to do normal landing at RWY 13 ;-) Watch more videos :))

[ramznation]

When was this taken? I thought the Concorde was retired? Sweet bird, though. Glad to see this video of it.

[tompus1]

it got the easy kai tak approach i see. i'd like to see a vid of it coming through the city, much more exciting

[darealsuperstugaz]

yeah,i agree..but the 13RNW approach would have been too risky for this bird

[AmarokUK]

What a beautiful Aircraft

[reiismael]

That plane is so close I could smell the aviation gas.
