Crash of the Concorde

HD - This is a detailed remake of the crash of Air France flight number 4590 from Paris Charles De Gaulle to New Yorks John F. Kennedy. July 25th 2000.

We represent a growing number of people who feel saddened and cheated by the decision to retire Concorde early, and there is a lot of bitterness over the lack of Government intervention and the dismissal of various proposals to keep her flying. Our main aim is to create a voice that will be recognised. We already have the backing of the British Air Line Pilots' Association (BALPA), Sir Terence Conran and Phil Collins, to name but a few. Please visit our website for more information and to pledge your support. Our website address is : www.save-concorde.co.uk Thank you for your help!

Technical facts about Concorde:
Concorde took off at an average of 220 knots (c.253mph), 55 knots (c.63mph) faster than most planes.

Dimensions:
Length: 203ft 9 ins (62.1m)
Wingspan: 83ft 8 ins (25.5m)
Height: 37ft 1 ins (11.3m).

Only twenty Concordes were ever built. They were owned exclusively by British Airways and Air France.

The needle shaped nose helped to penetrate the air. It was tilted down at take-off and landing to allow the pilots to see the runway. The nose tip could reach a temperature of 127 degrees Celsius -- this was due to the friction of the air at high speed.

Concorde guzzled a staggering 25,629 litres of fuel per hour which led to protests about the environmental impact and noise pollution of the aircraft.

Facts about Concorde:
There have been more US astronauts than BA Concorde pilots.

Each flight consisted of the pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer and six cabin crew.

In 1993, Barbara Harmer, a former hairdresser from Bognor Regis, became Concorde's first female pilot.

British Airways limited their cabin crew to a maximum of three years' service to allow as many people as possible the chance to work on Concorde.

Pilots wanting to fly Concorde had to complete an intensive six month conversion programme consisting of a six week technical course, nineteen weeks on the simulator, route briefing and route flying training.
