To anyone who has a comment on the fumes, smoke, exhaust: the engines on this bad boy were the most thermal efficient machines (not just engines, we’re talking anything that burns something to make something move) EVER BUILT. At 43% actual, they dwarf the 25% *on paper* figure of the engine in your car. You are seeing fumes at speeds the engines are not designed to be efficient, they’re meant to be supersonic.
@Nick Kelliher - Bravo! I'm pinning this for everyone's enlightenment.
@@joshs4594 Just doing the lord’s work sir. Thanks for the upload! I must have half the views on this vid!
Ever built at the time. Modern natural gas powerplants, for example, hit 60%.
Also for flight, thermodynamic efficiency doesn't necessarily translate to efficiency in terms of fuel consumed per kg of plane per km.
@@biohazard512 I believe I said these engines “were” the most efficient, not “are” the most efficient. Could be wrong.
I don’t think I said anything otherwise.
And even just in easier terms, the less time you spend burning fumes in the atmosphere, the less pollution you make. Concorde was perfect.
That thing wasnt a plane, it was a missile that people could sit comfortably in lol
haha
Lol
If that is a missile for u what is then a Mig-21?
Edit: And the F104?
In other words, a plane
PETEROLO 291 lmao once the f104 is up it shouldn’t come down because it will crash aha
0:58 when you load up netflix but you forget to turn the tv down
Lol didnt notice similarity in the sound before read it, hilarious
LMAOOOO

One of the best comment I’ve ever seen thx 😂😂
bruh so true hahahahha
24th October 2021: Today is the 18 year anniversary of when Concorde was retired and had to say goodbye to the skies.
There are now people in the UK and France who are old enough to drink and never even got the opportunity to ever see Concorde fly for themselves.
Such a marvellous and beautiful piece of engineering. She may be gone, but she will never be forgotten.
I know it’s physics and all, but it’s pretty insane that something so high can cause such a loud noise for people on the ground.
Amazing, Right?
I've always have tough the same about thunders.
I love your RUclips name. Very clever. 👍
@@51NN312 A lightning bolt struck 100 feet away from me. The sound wasn't much louder than say 1 mile away. It was more crisp and in sink with the light though.
Humans are not prepared for such level of perfection.
That's why destiny forced us to take down the Concorde and just use it when the time comes
It has more to do with the fact that is consumes way too much fuel
oh thats why almost every military plane is better than the concorde.... 😂
Yeah we are
Humans invented it, duh!
I'm proud that my dad worked on this amazing bird.
Wow! Your dad is a legend

BIG W
I always dreamed of taking a flight on the Concorde. Too bad it was retired. I just read a quote from a Concorde pilot who said that when he crossed the Atlantic, the 747s below him almost looked like they were flying backwards, they were so slow in comparison…amazing stuff.
They must have looked like they were travelling backwards at 800 mph lol
4 in the morning watching listening to concorde, great time to be alive
lmao totally same
Same omg it‘s 8am
Me too mate.. Me too..
There have been more astronauts than there ever were Concorde pilots. They are a special breed.
I saw Concorde take off from Prestwick Airport in Scotland in the mid 1990s and the sound it made was the scariest thing I had ever heard 😂
I saw it from JFK New York many times and the experience never got old. 👍
Nobody:
My ass at 4am after eating Taco Bell: 0:58
Damm 🤣😂😂🤣
Jajajajajja
Oh. A : joke. So funny
Don't eat Taco Bell, it's garbage. Eat real tacos
Anglo-French cooperation at its best..... she was a marvel of engineering. What a bird!
Guillaume Romain Not really it was just a waste of money that's why they don't have concordes anymore
the_witz I see where you're coming from, still I beg to disagree, yes Concorde never returned a profit, but money making is only one way to look at things. Concorde brought many patents with her, that spurred mankind on to greater things. She brought fame to BA and AF, she was at the forefront of their fleets. A flagship scarcely bring the bigger bucks, but instead acts as a fancy product that will ultimately bring customers in. As a Human Being, I personally don't care she never managed to achieve to be profitable. What I recall from her is her outstanding shapes, speeds, comfort and outright genius.... designing a commercial airliner capable of such performances is mad. She tapped into the realm of dreams as opposed to regular planes than only ply their trades from A to B. Concorde is the essence of what we are as a species.... I always get goosebumps anytime I see a footage of her in action.... I get impressed whenever I see her in the flesh, even if she fell silent a decade ago. She was never designed to be found the world over. She was designed for a selected few and she flew on for more than 2 decades without a hitch. Best aircraft ever. Hands down.
Beautifully said!
Also projects like this and say the space program in the US give the whole country a morale boost, something to be proud of. This effect echoes throughout industry and leads to more innovation and a higher GNP. That is why Japan for example are sending men to the moon, it's about instilling pride in a depression. The UK is in desperate need of a mega project we can all get behind.
Guillaume Romain marvel but that thing its rolling that coal hard
Where I live, on the south-west English coast, we used to get the sonic boom (2 of them - boom boom) at 9pm every evening making the windows shake. You could set your clock by it. All my clocks and watches are hours out now :( RIP Concy
al35mm The Concord program retired in 2003. Pretty sure all planes wee grounded and never flew since.....
Harsha Chivaluri Um yes, that's right. That's why my comment was in the past tense and ended with RIP. I don't get the point of your comment.
al35mm didn't see the "used to"......
Blitzkrieg
Don't really believe that, there's no way they would routinely go supersonic over land.
Incredible, its funny that you hardly feel a thing when you're on it, just a little jolt on your back. A flight on that was the best gift I've ever had. Its tragic that its no longer flying 🥺
Wow, that's amazing you flew on it!!
@@helenchelmicka3028Thank you, i Sure did, I'm so lucky. My dad always tried to get me different gifts, nice holidays etc. This was the best 👌
@@MonaroMel1 your dad is a legend for getting you a ride on the concorde
@@papyfun5097 Thank you, he really is.
You know the first thing you notice when you board Concorde is that even though it was eighteen years old when I flew on it, the first thing that hit you was the smell of the quality leather. The seats were so comfortable as every seat was 1st class, however the windows were so small (about 5-6 inches wide and not much higher) but they needed to be so the plane could go supersonic. When you passed through Mach1 a blue light would pulse through the cabin and the same again at Mach2.
As it was my birthday the day we flew from Charles de Gaulle Airport the pilot wished me a happy 21st over the tannoy system, which was pretty special.
It was All pre 9/11 so I was also invited into the cockpit. I've never seen so many switches in such a small space. It's bizzare to think I was sipping Champaign (which I hate 🤮) whilst travelling at 1,324mph.
Sorry for waffling on but at the time I felt very lucky.......now I am eternally grateful to have flown on the most spectacular aeroplane ever built ❤🥺
It makes me so sad that there's a whole generation that will never truely understand the awesomeness, perfection, and unrivalled brilliance that was Concorde 😢
Edited to add an e on the end of the name Concorde, as it seems the spelling police are about, and have nothing better to do with their time than to troll comment section looking for typo's.
@@MonaroMel1 *Concorde, with the "e" at the end.
Ya needed some DEEP Pockets to even step foot in that plane ✈
I set foot on one once... the one on display at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in NYC.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ✈
That or an extremely lucky upgrade, and even that usually required some fairly deep pockets (i.e. being a BA frequent flyer with first class tickets on a 747).
unless a corporation paid for your flight
The world was not ready for supersonic passenger flight.
None is willing to hear that kind of thing over their house.
Álvaro A. Lorite It never went super sonic over land
@@BIGDROC99 those afterburner engines though...
Álvaro A. Lorite What about them?
It's the Sonic boom that proved it's downfall. It can't fly supersonic over land, therefore extremely limited to where it can fly. Hence why it pretty much just did London to NY. From what I can remember the UK didn't sell a single plane & the Government had to give it to British Airways including maintenance costs!
Representing the December 1st 2019 London gang👍🏻
Yup
Loooooool same
Heard that shit from Luton
Init
We heard it in Edinburgh as well. Lol
I flew once in Concorde July 1979 at age 26, London to New York 3 hrs 23 MINS. The max 100 passengers hear the roar of the afterburners on take off that make all the smoke. Subsonic until you clear Ireland. Passengers do no hear the sonic boom. All you have is the extra dull roar when the afterburners are cut in again to take you from Mach 0.87 thru the sound barrier at Mach 1.0 on the cabin blue digital wall display. Accelerating progressively till Mach 1.9 and more slowly to Mach 2.02 cruise speed. I believe it takes nearly 50% of the fuel use to take off and reach cruise speed and altitude. Supersonic is most efficient between 55,000 and max 60.000 feet. SIMLPY FABULOUS.
I grew up near Heathrow, and I still miss standing in the street watching Concorde roar over head, leaving a trail of car alarms in her wake!
damn, you're lucky. I miss her to
i visited the Brinks near LHR warehouse years ago. They turned their alarm system off when Concorde was in the area!
@@PhilPurcellPT oh wow!
What a plane, a masterpiece of engineering!
0:40 Thats a lot of fuel being burned right there!!
That's a lot of exhaust being created right there!!
I think it uses at least a whole cars worth of gas just on taxiway
Darth Vader are you high?
Darth Vader wtf is that scrip?
Darth Vader sorry I didn’t mean to respond to your question but, that makes now sense
Hearing that sound in person would have been like music to my ears.
Believe me, it was a hell of a rush.
Saw the concorde few times at JFK.. That aircaft is loud anywhere in the airport it is heard especially at take off.
Now I understand why people complained about it being loud.
Yes, but to many others, myself particularly, it was exhilarating.
Anyone else hear to compare it to what they heard last night in London?
I'm here!
Maaaaate
Yep sounded similar
And me , I reckon someone taking Concorde out for a spin .
Yoooooo
Awesome stuff. I love sonic booms. It's the sound of engineering at it's finest..love it
I remember hearing Sonic booms, as a child during the 1970s. My mother had to explain them to me.
Miss them now
The Concord did not take off. Those engines pushed the airport backwards.
😄
Made the Earth spin faster
Much as I resent the e on the end, why are you unable to spell Concorde properly when it's in the video title? You're too stupid to even copy a word?
*To all the people who believe the Concorde was unsafe.*
The Boeing 737 Max 8 has been in commercial service for 2 years and it killed 346 people thanks to MCAS.
Concorde had 27 years of service and only killed 109 people and it wasn't the planes design for the crash minus the tires.
The reason that one Air France plane crashed after 25 years of the Aircraft in service was a piece of engine debris from a DC-10 from Continental airlines bursting the tires.
The Plane itself was not dangerous the landing gear that exploded was the problem, these types of incidents did happen before but the plane(s) did not catch fire when the fuel tank of the Concorde(s) were leaking, they all landed safely.
Air France and British Airways fixed the problem by reinforcing the landing gear to the point of puncture proof but by that time the damage was already done to the public image along with 9/11 and fuel prices helped nailed the last pieces of the coffin for Concorde with the retirement two years later after the crash.
Their was a total of 7 tire burst incidents with none of them leading to fire and all landed safely with no causalities.
It was also found that Air France maintenance staff had not replaced or renewed a spacer in one of the four tires for in the rear left landing gear (it was found in a workshop after the crash).
And their was a criminal investigation Against John Taylor, the mechanic who replaced the wear strip on the DC-10, and his manager Stanley Ford - alleging negligence in the way the repair was carried out.
Charges were also put on Continental Airlines.
Continental and Taylor [plus Stanley] were cleared of criminal responsibility after a appeal was made against the convictions.
Continental would however be liable to pay 70% of any compensation claims.
the 737 max was crashed due to a broken aoa sensor and a glitch in the m.c.a.s software,despite this it is still the second safest plane in the world
@@mrtuvok5578 Still my argument that a design fault or sensor glitch still lead it to many people killed much more than Concorde achieved , we can also look at the B747-200 and see how many people it has killed heck even the B737-200.
R.I.P Concorde
I believe first time flyers would feel unsafe at the height the front wheels hit the ground but the plane was too expensive to fly continuously from A-B
reason #978 why liberals shouldnt be in charge of building airplanes....
So many people here, still loving this beauty!
I do
I had seen a Concorde take off from Santacruz Airport, Mumbai in 1971, when I was walking to my Office in Vakola. In 3 winks the plane had disappeared from sight.
I had heard about sonic boom, but this is the first time I have come to know how it sounds like. Thanks.
She used to come over my house in the UK on her return from New York.
We could hear the distinct double boom as she came in over the coast some 100 miles away. You could set your watch by her. 16.07 hrs !!
Sonic booms were a frequent occurrence on the east coast throughout the 1960s. My classmates and I noted quite a few of these in that decade as the BOOM!!! would rattle the windows. One time it knocked-out two panes of glass in the back of the classroom where, fortunately, no one was within ten feet of the panes that fell to the floor.
The day Concord stopped flying is the day technology went backwards!
It's all reverse technology
@@77l96 Concorde flew from London UK to Dallas USA in 3 hours 33 minutes, a flight which today takes around 10 hours 10 minutes, sure, flights on Concorde were around 24 times more expensive than normal commercial flights but if money is no object, and getting there quickly is your main priority, back when Concorde was flying you had the choice, today you don't.... Unless you know a way of chartering a military jet.
Nice!
What's up with all these people on youtube likely only ever flown on economy seats complaining that there are no commercial seats available at 20k usd per seat on super sonic planes?
Absolutely
Probably the most beautiful plane ever
It was truly in a league of its own.
The Concorde made modern airliners looking like pigeons.
It is the most beautiful thing ever made.
See you in 10 years when this gets recommended again
Truly the most beautiful aircraft to ever grace our skies. Highly probable she will never be surpassed in terms of aviation excellence.
Tu-160 is also a majestic aircraft
War Thunder And Doomer I agree, the Soviet "White Swan" is also a majestic machine. Both the TU-160 and the Concorde are both noteworthy pinnacles of aviation technology.
@@77l96 The aforementioned Boeing is incomparable to the great Concorde, that's like comparing rubber with gold. Such an iconic, technologically advanced Mach capable aircraft cannot be categorised with "work horse" machines.
@@77l96 In economic terms it may have been highly inefficient but this was negated by higher prices passed on to the consumer.
Even if this particular airframe was not as capital producing as others, the mere reputability gained for an airline by procuring and operating this flagship was worth the premium.
I grew up in Berkshire, under the flight path of Concorde from Heathrow, and vividly remember the sound of Concorde going over at about 10am everyday. It was amazing! Such a shame it’s been consigned to the history books.
Agreed. Looks like it may come back soon, however.
Lucky!! What a gorgeous bird she was
Was too ahead of its time unfortunately. Got some family members that flew on it a fair bit so can just talk to them about it. I hear it's making a future return!
Was that even english?
Perhaps the most elegant jetliner to have ever taken to the skies.
Im 41 now, but i remember the sound of concorde in the late 80s and 90s
Exactly the same sound we experienced a lot of times in Istanbul last week.
The Coup attempt in Turkey must've sucked ass, glad everything is okay.
+Austin 064 All night I said "son of a bitch" after each sonic boom and last day learned that it was a girl who was inside that F-16 :))
Damn Dude, well glad you're all right.
Fuck turkey and the whole middle east
Fuck you too, dumbass
01:00 that „Ohhh” says it all!!!!!!

As a fishing man we heard her each day just after one o clock
such a beauty
Where do you fish at?
French and British should team up more often.
Not only does it LOOK sexy, but it even SOUNDS sexy! Best plane ever, bring it back!
Although I have seen the Concorde take off over my head (a lot closer than this in fact), in Rio de Janeiro back in the 1970's (yes, it did fly to Rio, in a route Paris-Dakar-Rio), and the roar was indescribable (this clip totally fails to illustrate it), for the rumble, and the earth shaking noise that left people stunned and transfixed was unlike anything I have ever experienced, including glacier ruptures in Patagonia (which come damn close), I have never heard its sonic boom. I have heard fighter jet sonic booms, but apparently the Concorde's boom is much more dramatic and loud, because it is much larger than any fighter jet.
Because it's designed to transport civilians, but don't forget the Tupolev Tu-144, which was actually the first supersonic civilian aircraft (the Concorde was the second), and the first to retire.
Cool to think the concorde landed in Senegal
don't see you doing any better.
@@liamnixon4428 Yes. But with design the Concorde was first. The Tu-144 had her first flight one month before Concorde.
i see your sonic fighter jet booms and raise you Falcon 9s rocket landing sonic booms in fl
Insane this plane was even real and that it hasn't flown for around 20 years.
Back in 1981, I was living in Toronto and was attending an air show. The Concorde did a flyover and I was amazed at how loud the plane was. Very cool !
That was the most beautiful aircraft in History
0:58 wow!
The general public: "Come on concorde, you may be pretty but you're a gas guzzler that is obnoxiously loud and you destroy the ozo..."
Concorde: *_lifts off at full throttle_* "Ya'll hear sumthin'?"
Dang. A sonic boom can be heard from that far? No wonder people had noise complaints of the plane
YOU CAN'T HEAR SUPER SONIC BOOM IN CABAIN !!
@@KIM_K02 That’s not what I meant. The people on the ground are gonna hear it. Obviously, it’d be pretty quiet in the plane.
@@KIM_K02 OK THANKS FOR ADVICE
They never flew over the speed of sound over land which is why the only sonic boom you will ever see will be in the ocean. Kind of why they are not great commercial planes as they cannot use their performance on nearly every route.
@@anyexpat flew over Lanarkshire in Scotland 1993 dodging horrific weather I sonic boomed about a half million people and everyone loved it they phoned in to see if the plane was OK

“Turn the volume way up, if you dare”
Oh believe me, I did and I wish it was louder. Still, I love this video. The Concorde was such an amazing craft.
Yea
Amazing how we’ve regressed in Commercial Air Travel. Nothing will compete with this marvel of engineering. What a crying shame.
sadly, air resistance causes a lot more fuel to be used. the increase of drag quadratic (not sure if that makes sense). going twice the speed means 4x the amount of drag.
I don't agree, a lot of progress were made in air travel : passenger comfort, fuel consumption, flight safety, maintenance cost are some examples. 👍🏼
Twice the speed = 4x air resistance is only true at low speed. In supersonic it's different : Cx (drag coefficient) is max around Mach 1 and then decrease. In addition air inlet are designed so that they provide thrust in supersonic, so fuel consumption at Mach 2 is not as high as you may expect. Take off and transonic flight are the most demanding flight phases !
Are you kidding me? Modern commercial jets are way more efficient, reliable, and safe than the Concorde could have ever dreamed. The Concorde was just a mediocre meme plane for rich losers to jack off to
@@SaxPanther 737MAX => 348 peoples dies in 2 years.
Concorde => 109 peoples Dies in 27 years, and one incident was due to another plane (DC10 from an US company..)part.
Mediocre ? Absolutely not.
The concorde has died cause of the USA which have prevent the concorde to fly over a lot of territory, not for a safety issue, just for the noise, officially.
Unofficially, a lot of people think the US doesn't like the EU achievement.
And the lone goal of the concorde was the US-EU lines.
Funny to see that the US launch a new project of supersonic commercial plane since 2-3 years...
Zero CO2 emision.
It was a beautiful piece of engineering brilliance. Just the sight of it gave me chills.
It looks like it's going Mach 2 just sitting on the ground.
Yea, right up until the moment it wasn't.............
Aboard my Coast Guard cutter I stepped onto the well deck to hear an amplified “bang BANG!”. It was local high noon as I looked up to see the SST just crossing the sun. The shadow of the contrail split a cloudless sky over a very flat sea turned metal - an odd, split eclipse of the sun and sky. No one else was above deck - it was all mine. And the last time I saw her.
One of the most beautiful airplane ever
when I used to fly JFK -LAX 6 times a year, our UAL B-767 would be next in line for take off behind the Concorde.
when the Concorde lit its afterburners on takeoff our B-767 would rattle

literally the Netflix sound effect when it opens
you can see why they wouldn’t let it go supersonic over land. one of the reasons it was never viable economically, couldn’t fly over continental US
Even subsonic, it's waaaaay louder than other planes. I grew up between Kennedy and LaGuardia, with Newark, Teterboro, and MacArthur in close proximity. There was always at least one plane either on approach or departure, I pretty much tuned out the sounds...until a Concord was nearby. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say at least six times as loud.
I was living on a yacht in Guatemala in 1963 and used to watch Concorde speeding overhead with the sonic booms that shook the pineapple trees
First Flight March 2, 1969...?????
Used to live in west Cornwall, would hear that boom every evening, certainly miss it.
@@troublebrewing99 Not true. It was often supersonic in the English Channel, depending on routing. Justin is correct - I lived in South Cornwall and the boom was a fairly regular occurrence.
Ok, I didn't realise the Concorde took a detour to go supersonic, normally flights from London to
New York fly over Ireland.
@@troublebrewing99 there's a few videos of the Concorde in other countries. It has visited Saint Maarten, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, training flight in Iceland, and many more places as well. The Concorde wasn't only limited to the high demand of New York to London and Paris.
I was never able to have the opportunity to watch the Concorde fly. I remember once, I landed in Paris and while we were approaching our gate, I remember seeing a ramp full of Concordes. It was truly a beautiful flight. I remember, as I spotted them, I heard someone say "Look at all the Concordes!". Literally everyone stopped what they were doing, so they can look at the marvelous sight. Watching Concorde vids, only makes me regret not seeing one in action even more, so I could only imagine how you feel...
When I lived at home with my parents same time every night the crockery in the dresser in our kitchen would very gently rattle and there was an almost imperceptible ‘thump’ as my mum described it. We had no idea what it was but it was the same time every night, my dad always claimed it was Concorde going supersonic over the Atlantic but me and my mum just laughed at him, then the Paris crash happened and the other aircraft were grounded, no more ‘thump’ my dad was right.
The Concordes were not grounded because of the accident

One hell of a plane can't believe it was pensioned off and we did not have a improved model to replace it.
She was a hungry plane in a world of rising oil prices, and it didn't help that it was only allowed to go supersonic over sea's, as well as being expensive, while few airlines wanted it.
The four rolls royce olympus engines on it were extremely expensive to run. It barely broke even on most flights and slight delay on the ground or in the air would cause the flight become a loss. Unfortunately its was just untenable for the airlines to justify continuing to operate it
Love how this vid is getting recommended to everyone again, looking at how long ago these comments are.

I was doing a delivery one year in Heathrow and i heard Concorde taking off. As it was takomg off the noise got louder n louder AND FUCKING HELL LOUDER. At the time, I didnt realize that it was Concorde taking off. I actually thought it was a plane coming down right on top of me. So i pulled over and cowered like a scared chicken just waiting to hear BOOM and have my lights snuffed out like a candle. Then that big fuck off noise subsided and it went quieter n quieter. It was only then when i raised my head up i realized that it was Concorde. But really and trully i shat enough bricks to biuld a house that day!
Wow what a story 😆😆 great experience haha
I’m glad I didn’t have to grow up hearing that shit then, as I was just two years old when they quit using them. I hate airplane noise enough as it is.
@@BamberdittoPingpong well its a pity you never did. A majestic looking and sounding plane when up in the sky.
coming home from work after the night shift in devon i would see and hear concord as it coasted out it's what inspired me to become an airline pilot. I'll always remember the best aircraft that ever flew.
baggins919 are you a pilot now
So beautiful, Such an elegant piece of engineering, but so loud! I was at Reading University, Berks, UK in the 1980s and at around 1000 & 1100am, 1730 & 1800 weekdays, lectures stopped as the craft passed overhead and drowned out lecturers. Still a thrill. Wish I could have flown on it. Did know a pilot and he said it was such a thrill and privilege, really humble nice guy, good on you Pete!
My dad took me on Concord for my 21st Birthday present. It was out of this world. Literally the best gift I ever had, still to this day !

Amazing to think its almost 12 miles away and the sonic boom is _still_ that loud.
mysock351C the video doesn’t do it justice, it really doesn’t.
We lived at the end of Heathrow runway and every morning the Concorde to New York would shake the windows ! We got used to her and never got fed up of watching her every day from our garden she was only a few feet up literally !!
I lived in swindon growing up. Used to fly over twice a day.
Just brings memories back of summer evenings, sitting in the garden having a bbq and concorde streaking overhead like a silver dart through the crisp blue sky.
The KING of the blue skies. Much missed majestic masterpiece.
I got to see the Concorde take off from Heathrow in 1980. It was so loud I had to _plug my ears_ and my _chest rattled_ while sitting in a 737 waiting to take off. The only other time I experienced that type of power was watching the SR-71 take off from Payne Field north of Seattle the day after an air show. That was even worse when the pilot did a "fast" flyby, but what a RUSH!!
