Concorde G-BOAE departing from LHR to JFK in June 2000. Lots of camera shake prior to being airborne. You can see the FO's Machmeter as Concorde breaks the sound barrier.

  • The captain is Chris Norris,right?

  • @makanakikaka

    Yes, as shown in an earlier post.

  • Pity you couldn't have moved the camera a little bit more during roll out.

  • @pageois

    I agree - if I get another chance I'll do it differently.

  • look at 2:50, that is the super sonic after burners he is turning on. 2 engines at a time, if he would turn all 4 on at the same moment the passangers and crew would feel an extra strong force pushing them back on their seats.. They do it sometimes for fun, but they warn everybody that its going to happen before..

  • @yahweh18 airspeed changes, not groundspeed. The higher you go the less dense air becomes meaning less molecules passing through the pitot tube, indicating a low airspeed, relative to the air. Ground speed will of course be unaffected by this.

  • Great video! I was surprised that the noise increased when the nose was raised, I expected the opposite.

  • @JMsoo I don't know what the price was at the end, but it was averaging US$8,500 about a year or so beforehand.

  • @yahweh18

    Depending on what you are relating your speed to. The speed goes lower in KIAS but higher in TAS and GAS.

  • @JMsoo ... LOL ... not enough for such a mind blowing experience !!

  • @Reeltimefun sorry for the indiscretion how much did u pay for the flight I heard that prices where quite high

  • Just wait, she'll return to the skies :D

    Hopefully

  • @fcdaxfecgrex The higher you go the lower the speed gets. At 10Km altitude it is only 1000Kmh.
