Ledgends: 747 v Concorde

A new kind of 'v' video, what one of these two amazing aircraft will be more well known in say 10-20 years? Just by looking at them will children of the future be able to point out Concorde or the Boeing 747 in a museum first ???

Concorde - 18
B747 - 9

Thanks to D2gizzo for helping me realise that this is a good idea for new videos

if you think, that there will be a replacement for the 747 straight after it's de-commed. no such thing happened with concorde. it was the only ever supersonic airliner which actually did it's job. there will always be a big fat slow plane. there will never be another sleek, beutiful and fast plane which people could enjoy when they were flying on it and when they weren't.

@boltjet135 Yes although there need to be some tweeks before SST's can be viable again, the sonic booms for example, then range and fuel prices etc.

[boltjet135]

@ConcordeCentral balls to the SST. i want an actual replacement for concorde. have you heard about current developments into hydrogen jets. they wanted to fit them to the SR-71 but they weren't ready. they are clean, cheaper and more powerful. the sonic boom thing is ridiclous in my view. i equate it to a loud bike going past your house. the SST project was actually sabotaged by McManara, shame. if the russians and americans were actually succesful concorde may of actually had competiotn :)

[ConcordeCentral]

@boltjet135 Oh yes maybe Hydrogen jets may be a good idea if its clean. I think if you lengthen the nose it reduces the boom. It is a shame USA and Soviet Union didnt really provide a proper competition plane for Concorde, it might have been nice to see if Concorde would have been upgraded if that had happened.

I believe that you made a typo in the concorde. 16 were built not 20!

[ConcordeCentral]

@markallayban There were 14 in service, 2 prototypes, 2 pre-production models and 2 'first off the line' models where I guess airlines would see what Concorde could do.

different planes .......747 is a bodybuilder , concorde is more elegant and fast .

@marcnistor4567 Thanks for the comment.

@josephtan1818 I did not know that thank you. I'm guessing that because of this factor it may have been even more costly to research because of the wider fuselage? (I hope that made sense)
