  • The F-22 has Supercruise, which allows it to maintain Mach 1.7 without afterburners and Mach 2+ with afterburners. Concorde could Supercruise (no afterburners) at Mach 2.02-2.04 for Transatlantic flights. Pretty darn impressive for a plane carrying passengers.

  • Really? You think it's ugly? Probably the single most beautiful commercial aircraft ever built imho.

  • Wait! When was the video actually taken? The plane did go out of service in like 2003 or something and this video was merely uploaded to YouTube in 2007.

  • the most impressive sonic boom i've ever seen here on youtube!!!

    "Concorde could Supercruise (no afterburners) at Mach 2.02-2.04 for Transatlantic flights. Pretty darn impressive for a plane carrying passengers."

    Also pretty darn impressive for a plane that was designed before electronic pocket calculators EXISTED!

    All the complex calculations for her design/performance were calculated by hand and slide-rule!

  • Passe bien la meuf en rouge ! ^^

  • @ecrins70 Did I say it didn't have afterburners? No, I said it has supercruise. It couldn't fly transatlantic flights if it required afterburners to maintain supersonic flight. Afterburners are very fuel ineffcient, great for a big boost of speed but they burn up considerable amounts of your fuel supply. Plus, I have a lot of experience working on turbofan, turbojet, gas turbine and piston engines for aircraft as an Airframe and Powerplant mechanic.

  • @ecrins70 Hes saying it can do that speed without afterburners.

  • it went to the speed of sound
