Everyone was scared of the concorde bc it crashed, yet it wasn’t even its own fault, it was metal on the runway left by a previously departed DC-10; and the plane that crashed at the paris air show was a tu-144, not concorde; but bc it was the only other supersonic plane, it gets put in the same safety area
Tu-144 was pushed out too fast to beat Concorde to the record books, and now people attribute the faults caused by haste in the production of the Tu-144 to the Concorde
Talk about irony lmao

For the downfall of 4590, it’s due to a Continental DC-10 which took off before the Air France Concorde. A piece of debris was on the runway which struck a tyre, and then the tyre struck the fuel tank, it ruptured and vented to the exhaust of the Hot after burning jet engines which caused a fire.
You don’t have to be in a DC-10 to die.
The tank was also overfull, causing a shockwave, the debris didn't pierce the tank but caused a shockwave bursting it like an over filled balloon. Furthermore it was overweight and one of the pilots shut down an engine (even though it was on fire, it still produced thrust). Therefore it got in the air but shortly fell down due to insufficient thrust.
And the final nail was that air France backed out of their agreement, meaning all the maintenance was British which we could not afford causing the last commercial Concorde flight to happen on October 24th 2003.
The DC-10 was so shit it kills people in other planes 💀

Yo how do you know?🤯🤯🤯
@@iterationfackshet1990shut up, first of all, it was continenals fault, most of the dc10 crashes were pilot error.
The Concorde made a lot of profit from mainly Business users.
Concorde gave the ability for a business person to leave home from London and fly to work in New York and be able come back to London at the end of the day.
The Concorde never made any money. It was a heavily subsidized prestige object.
That is true if you only count scheduled service or the overall service life. Concorde did turn a profit on charters. Travel agencies could book the whole plane and sell tickets, and also they monetized the "round the bay" maintenance flights by offering "experience flights" where you flew from Heathrow-Heathrow and experienced supersonic flight for the price of a meal at a 5 star restaurant.
@@terminator3000British Airways would dispute that.

Dylan Jordan I'm a bit dissapointed as you didn't mention the fact that the concorde didn't crash because it had technical issues but it crashed because there was debris on the runaway that should of been checked by the airport crew
And it was a TU -144

It was expensive sure but by the 80’s British Airways were making big profits on Concorde
Yeah, its annoying when people say concorde failed, because it made british ariways £500 million in profit, even after tax.
It only ever lost money on scheduled service. Charters were the major profit centre for Concorde.
@@happypapi1903not on BA. The London-New York service did in fact make profit.
@@Nozxokididn’t it make profit only because the UK and French government ate the losses up to 1.5 billion. So it’s not really profit. The government gifted them money.
Not to be rude but it wasn’t a failure.
The aviation families predicted that it would have flew for another 30 years. The only reason for it being grounded wasn’t the crash in 2000, but the fact that over 90% of flights were New York to London. In 2001, obviously, the nightmare of 9/11 happened, and that meant that 90% of flights were grounded, and it couldn’t make money for fuel etc. Concorde forever. 🇬🇧🇫🇷
The Soviet supersonic jet was even worse. They stole the British design of the Concorde, managed to release it first, yet also made it significantly worse. They tried to show it off at the Paris Air Show in 1973 and... it crashed
In fact, there were a total of 80 in-flight failures and over 150 on the ground, all over merely 102 flights
IT'S NOT A FAILED PLANE, IT WAS OPERATIONAL FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND THE CRASH WASN'T EVEN BECAUSE OF THE ACTUAL PLANE, IT WAS BECAUSE OF A METAL STRIP WHICH DETACHED FROM A DC-10. IT WAS A MASSIVE SUCCESS AND HAD INNOVATIVE IDEAS.
Yeah I remember when it crash. I wanted to get one way ticket but bankruptcy came..
Personal bankruptcy or the company?
I’m excited for the Boom Supersonic Overture!
Also there were SO MANY INCORRECT STATEMENTS in this video
That’s probably not going to happen
“Incorrect statements”
Like what???
@@artyjaycayairlines for example the fact, that the plane didn't have any technical problems, but there was a debris from a DC-10 previously departing from the runway, that got stuck in the overfilled fuel tank and causing fire.
@@artyjaycayairlines or the fact that the first supersonic plane was the Tu-144.
@@artyjaycayairlinescompletely ignores the factors that caused Concorde to crash. It was not due to technical flaws with Concorde, but rather a piece of metal from a DC-10, the aircraft being overweight, the landing gear not being maintained properly and the pilot taking off with a tailwind rather a headwind.
The Concorde crashed because of the DC-10 that took off before the Concorde. The reason is here:
So a few minutes before the Concorde took off there was a DC-10 that took off on the same runway the Concorde did. But that isn’t really the reason it crashed. When the DC-10 took off, it left a piece of metal on the runway. So then the Concorde took off on the same runway. While the Concorde was taking off, it had a slight jerk to the left. That’s when the tire ran over the metal piece. The tire had bursted so hard that it impacted the left wing and made a dent in the wing. Where it made a dent is where fuel tank #5 was. Since the rubber from the tire impacted the wing so hard, it caused a fuel leak right by the hole it made in the landing gear. So there were wires sticking out while the jet fuel from tank #5 was gushing out. Then the wires ignited the the fuel so then there was a huge flame coming from the landing gear. So then the rubber from the tire and the gases from the fire went into the two engines #1 and #2. That caused a loss of thrust on engine #2. Eventually there was a engine failure on #2. When the Concorde was airborne the fire was melting the wing which then caused a °103 roll to the left. The air traffic control(ATC) gave clearance to turn back but it was already too late. The rolling had caused a loss of altitude. The cockpit alert went off,” Altitude,Altitude.””pull up!,pull up!”. The Concorde had then crashed into a nearby hotel.
And that was the end of the Concorde.
Well its wasnt the tire that burst it fully, when the tire impacted the fuel tank it didn’t burst immediatly, the shockwaves that the tire created caused the tank to burst from the inside, also wires sticking out? Where were those?
Dc 10 is has more crashes than Concorde 😂
"Droop snoot"
"Droop snoot?"
"The snoot would droop"
yessir
Okay, but for the time this beauty came out. The technology was insane. I think today if it was reinvented, it would be awesome
The TU 144 was the first supersonic commercial plane
Not if you ask the western authorities LOL
If we want to get technical the first commercial plane to go supersonic was the Douglas DC-8.
But, the TU-144 was the first purpose built supersonic commercial plane. Beating the Concorde to release.
the concorde was the first properly functioning one,wich is much more important.
Their development started later than Concorde. But was rushing to release the Tu 144
It was a clone of the concorde, after the blueprints were stolen and sent to Moscow. So it was the Concorde with one or another flag.
The crash isn't what killed the Concorde. It flew for a few more years afterwards, and let's also not forget that the plane had a perfect safety record over the previous 40 years. It was eventually discontinued, yes, but the plane itself was a huge success and a technological marvel
There is a lot missing from video, the Concorde did not fail, it was around for a long time and yes the tickets became expensive, but it was still a viable option for British airways and airfrance.
By the end of its lifecycle it was no longer supported by its manufacturers, and the cost to design a new aircraft would have been crazy expensive.
I wouldn't call it a failure, it was one of the biggest step forwards in air travel. And for the majority of the construction from the UK a tiny little island is amazing. The French, did all the non-important bits. And the crash wasn't part of the deciding factor at all, otherwise many other planes wouldn't be in action. It was taken out of service due to the cost of maintenance and the bad co2 footprint
CONTEXT: Air France flight-4590, was an aerospatiale/BAC Concorde. the Concorde was capable of supersonic flight, going over mach 2.
story: Air france flight 4590, was taking off from Charles De Gaulle airport, on July 25th, 2000. the pilots turned on full throttle. 5 minutes earlier, a Mcdonald Douglas DC-10, had taken off. a piece of shrapnel had fallen from the DC-10s engine. it was on the runway the concorde was on, the concorde started going full throttle, and was boosting forwards, then it reached speeds where it couldnt abort the takeoff, not quite VS but fast. the concordes left main gear rolled over the piece of shrapnel, causing the tire to rupture, throwing the shrapnel into the left fuel tank, the fuel tank started leaking, and the left engine caught fire. the plane reached VS and pulled up. the pilots didnt realize it at first but the left engine was on fire, //the check engine light came o- jk// the pilots noticed, and they realized they were gettinng slower. they started to lose altitude. they crashed straight into Hôtelissimo relais bleus hotel.
occupancy: 100 passengers 7 crew 2 pilots.
deaths: everyone on board
ground deaths: 4 people died in the hotel.
nowadays they do runway sweeps very very often before and after takeoff and landing.
Do you know how old the Concorde was? The Concorde was a complete success. The reason that they finally took it out of service, it was too expensive to maintain the fleet. So the best option was to end the service.
also air france 4590's crash (which was caused by a piece of debris left over by a plane that took off the runway and puntured a wheel causing damage to the fuel tank) damaged its reputation
Remember guys the Concorde was PROFITABLE
The Concorde crash, which happened in Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris (Air France 4590), was caused by a metal piece of debris that fell off from an engine of a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 The Concorde just happened to run over the metal plate, causing the tyres on the landing gear to rupture and hit one of the many fuel tanks on the Concorde, also causing the fuel tank to rupture. Because of this, engine 1&2 went out in flames and caused the aeroplane to crash into the Hotelissimo hotel just near the airport. After the crash, the Concorde got stronger tyres & the runway was thoroughly cleaned of any debris after one aeroplane took off.
It had one of the best safety records btw, the engine plate of the previous plane that took off before it had dropped it and the concorde's tire exploded causing debris to go everywhere which made the fuel tank rupture and catch fire bringing the plane down
Tu-144 be like
Am I a joke to you?
I would argue 20 years in the sky is not a failure
Wouldnt consider it a failure, 27 years of commercial service plus It did make money in the 80's. Also a sonic boom does only happen once during a flight, it does when it breaks the sound barrier, once its above the speed of sound, it wont make a boom.
Actually, we experienced 2 sonic booms, one at the front and one at the rear of the aircraft - and the crash didn't destined Concorde for failure, the crash was due to FOD and the aircrafts were 30 years old at that time in 2000, which is 10 years past typical retirement age for aircraft.
It wasnt the first to enter service. The crappy tu144 entered service 2 months before. The crash also wasnt a reason it stopped, as what happened to Concorde in the crashed couldve happened to literally any plane (it hit a piece of a debris from a dc-10 that lit a spark that hit the engine).
The Concorde was actually very safe, opposite to what people thought, mainly due to 3 reasons:
1) The multiple Tupolev Tu-144's crashes. The Tu-144 was a cheap copy of the Concorde made by the soviets in an effort to compete with western supersonic commercial flight. However, it was incredibly loud inside and outside its cabin and was also very unsafe, so it crashed a lot before getting retired. The Concorde had nothing to do with the Tu-144 other than flying supersonic, but, to the eyes of a not-very-informed person, both planes were equally unsafe... :(
2) The Concorde's 2003 Paris accident - caused by a part left on the runway by a previously taken-off DC-10 (which was a very unsafe plane, but that's a different story). Once more, although merely unlucky, the Concorde seemed problematic to a not-very-informed person. :(
3) The sonic boom and the engine noise. As mentioned in the video, the boom was a big problem for Concorde route-wise, but also concerning the people's opinion on the plane. If you were at sea or in eastern parts of the UK, you'd still hear the sonic boom relatively loud. As it is an annoying and somewhat scary sound, people would not enjoy it. Plus, the engine noise disturbed people who lived near airports, especially near Heathrow. Why? Unlike regular jets, the Concorde was equipped with afterburners, which give more power while spending a lot of fuel and making enormous noise. During takeoff, the Concorde would turn the afterburners on, therefore disturbing people on the ground. This did not help to build a positive opinion on Concorde... :(
HOWEVER, the Concorde was not a failure and still remains an aviation marvel and icon.
TU-144 being a cheap copy? What BS is that??? The TU-144 entered service months before the Concorde. Westerner 🤡
@@kralkek2537 I know it did. You know why? Because soviet spies copied a lot of the concorde's plans and documents. Typical misinformed offended guy... 😒
The crash of the Concorde (Air France 4590) was a fault of a metal strip from another aircraft which was a DC-10. The Concorde hit the metal strip at around 150-200moh and it burst a tire, the tire rubber pierced the fuel tank in the left wing. The tire also damaged the actual landing gear as well, meaning there would be sparks from wires in the aircraft tire which sparked a massive fire being fuelled by the tanks. This made Concorde start to melt. This affected flight controls and the crew were unable to climb out due to the engine power difference on the wings. Air France 4590 crashed into a hotel just 5km from the runway of Charles De Gaulle Airport. 100 passengers and 9 crew as well as 4 people in the hotel died, with another 6 people in the hotel seriously injured. Rest In Peace to the 113 people who passed away on June 25th, 2000. 🕊
Fortunately it seems like super sonic flights are about to return in coming years
The Tupolev 144 entered commercial service months before the Concord, it was not the first for commercial service.
I just learned something new from you, and I’m an aviation geek…
Concorde
The Tu-144 flew mail and cargo though, doesn't really count. Concorde was actually the first to carry passengers.
actually the Tu-144 can carry 140 passengers@@Frserthegreenengine
“Do you think we’ll have supersonic planes again”
The navy and the air force:already
I think the concord was ahead of its time.
If they made the blueprints for it public I'm sure the industry would use the technology and fix all the issues
The Tupulev-tu 144 came before the Concorde... Eventogh it never made it in the long term to transport passengers IT IS still the first "commercial" Supersonic plane
Concorde didn’t crash because of technical issue it was because of runway debris from another aircraft that had previously departed. And it was publicly announced that the aircraft was to be retired by the airline before it crashed. And in its career it only had a single crash deeming it a marvel aircraft.
@dylanjardon get the facts straight fella
Of the “sonic thud” idea goes through I think that supersonic flights could make a return. For anyone wondering what sonic thud is, it’s made by a special shape of an aircraft to redirect the sonic boom upwards and making the sound that goes down much quieter.
New York to London? Nah this is just Titanic II: Flying and Dying
The Concorde crashed from a piece of debris from a continental dc-10 that flew off due to improper maintenance that took off five minutes before Concorde. The tu-144 was another supersonic plane that was very similar to the Concorde, so people mix them up a lot, and the tu-144 crashed multiple times. The Concorde didn't have any major safety problems.
It’s safety record wasn’t bad
It only crashed once, and the crash was caused by debris on the runway
the concordes left fuel tank was punctured by a piece of debris that came off of a dc-10, causing a spark and an ensuing fire that prevented the plane from gaining lift. the lack of thrust due to the two left wing engines being suffocated by the smoke combined with the raging fire brought the airplane down, not a technical or mechanical error from the plane or the pilots.
British airways actually profited half a billion pounds from it
The Concorde: A Symbol of Innovation, Luxury, and SpeedThe Concorde stands as one of the most iconic and revolutionary aircraft in the history of aviation. Developed through a joint effort between France and the United Kingdom, this supersonic passenger airliner not only pushed the boundaries of engineering but also redefined the possibilities of commercial air travel.First envisioned in the late 1950s, the Concorde's development was a testament to the ambition and determination of its creators. Led by British Aerospace and France's Aerospatiale, the project aimed to produce an aircraft capable of flying at twice the speed of sound, reducing travel times across the Atlantic Ocean significantly. After years of rigorous testing and development, the Concorde made its maiden flight on March 2, 1969, marking a milestone in aviation history.One of the most striking features of the Concorde was its sleek and futuristic design. With its slender fuselage, delta-shaped wings, and distinctive drooping nose, the Concorde exuded an aura of sophistication and elegance. Inside, the aircraft was meticulously designed to provide unparalleled comfort and luxury to its passengers. From plush leather seats to gourmet meals served on fine china, traveling aboard the Concorde was an experience unlike any other.However, it was not just its aesthetics and opulence that set the Concorde apart. What truly made it revolutionary was its ability to fly at supersonic speeds. Capable of reaching Mach 2.04, or over 1,350 miles per hour, the Concorde could whisk passengers from London to New York in just under three and a half hours, less than half the time of conventional subsonic aircraft. This unparalleled speed made the Concorde the preferred choice for the elite and time-sensitive travelers who valued efficiency and convenience above all else.Despite its groundbreaking technology and unparalleled performance, the Concorde faced numerous challenges throughout its operational lifespan. High operating costs, limited seating capacity, and environmental concerns, particularly regarding noise and emissions, all contributed to its eventual demise. Additionally, the tragic crash of Air France Flight 4590 in 2000, which resulted in the loss of all 109 passengers and crew onboard, dealt a significant blow to the Concorde's reputation and viability.On October 24, 2003, after 27 years of service, the Concorde made its final commercial flight, marking the end of an era in aviation. Although its retirement was met with sadness and nostalgia by many, the Concorde's legacy lives on as a symbol of innovation, luxury, and speed. Its groundbreaking technology and iconic design continue to inspire future generations of engineers, designers, and aviation enthusiasts, reminding us of the boundless possibilities that can be achieved through human ingenuity and perseverance.
We need to bring this back asap
Bro didn't even bother to mention the fact that the Concorde crashed due to a DC 10
The Concord is my favorite airplane of all time.. I was lucky enough to be able to fly in it back in the day. It was the best flight experience I've ever had..
Some things I have to say about Concordes failure; 1 Whilst flight 4590 was Concordes only crash and other planes have had more, it was well known and caused Concorde lots of problems 2 Too little demand.There wasn’t any demand for supersonic airliners when it released, and little people wanted it. 3 It guzzled fuel like a greedy alcoholic and was very expensive to run. 4 it made little profit,and couldn’t really pay for itself near the end of its career. Like every machine, Concorde had its flaws, and will be dearly missed.
Concorde has an almost perfect safety record. One hull loss out of all aircraft built. 5% only slightly worse than the Princess of the skies (Concorde is the Queen) the 747s 4% hull loss rate and that’s 61 out of over 1500 compared to 1oit of 20
The Concorde was NOT the first supersonic passenger plane. The Tupolev TU 144 flew a few months before Concorde
Reason Air France 4590 Concorde Crash 2000:Hit Parts Lost 1 from DC10 After Take off (Hit Right Gear + Hit Left Engine 1,2)(So You can Wacth Air Crash Investagion About 4590)
Fun fact, the Concorde burned the same amount of fuel a car dies in 6 months, by taxiing
this is partially true. the main reason was that because the concorde had to take off at 402 kmh, the tires were much more vulnerable. this means, that theres a remotely high chance that the tire would explode off both pressure and wear, so pieces of tire could fly up into the wings, where most of the gas tanks were allocated. this could lead to a gas leak, which is fatal because it would get sucked into the jets of the concorde
They’ve making a new Supersonic Passenger aircraft called Boom Supersonic - Overture but the company, Boom, has never made an aircraft before. A positive is that some of the workers used to be engineers, managers, executives of other aircraft manufacturers.
I wouldn’t consider an almost 30 year run a failure
Tuplev TU144 flew before concorde. It was nicknamed concrodski because it looked very similar and was based of stolen technical drawings for concode. The TU144 did have a bit of a habit of crashing and iirc remained in passenger service for around 1 year.
The concorde crash has nothing to do about how it failed. If anything it had one of the safest safety records of any aircraft. Out of 27 years of service it only crashed once. That is insanley good. The real reason as to why the concorde was retired was because the planes were getting old and they werent being produced anymore not because of fuel costs or capacity, but that the SST is a failed concept. The fact that it managed to go until '03 is incredible. Even without the crash or 9/11.
I don’t think the crash was a reason the Concorde failed, but some people blame the crash of tupolev 144 in the Paris air show being the reason many airlines canceled their Concorde orders.
I saw a Concorde in an air museum
yes the concorde did crash but the final crash that grounded the concorde forever is not their own fault,it because of another plane
It is worth mentioning that the Concorde was not the first supersonic commercial airliner, and neither was the Tu-144. The first supersonic airliner was a Douglas DC-8 which broke the sound barrier during a test flight on August 21, 1961, 7 years before the first flight of the Tu-144.
The Concorde isn't even the first purpose built supersonic airliner as the Tu-144 was rushed through production and beat the Concorde to the skies by 2 months.
A engineering masterpiece truly ahead of its time that's the reason.
Last time I checked, you can take a dump for free. So Concorde is free all of a sudden!?
Guys they shut it down on purpose. They dont want you to find out the truth they also did that 100 years ago with Dirigables and Airships
113 deaths has me saying: “aw hell naw”
Concorde: Fails
Boom Overture: Hold my parents
I can't wait for a comeback of supersonic travel
Please talk about the boom overture next
The crash wasn’t Concord’s fault
The Concorde that crashed was called Airfrance Flight 4590 due to a Continental DC-10 then crashed into a hotel.
The only reason the Concorde didn’t break its own glass was the fact the sonic boom was behind it
The reason people think the sonic boom is only one boom is because the vapor cone affects aircraft so much they slow down again
You could contribute many reasons that the Concorde was retired, one would be it's aging fleet, another would be costs like maintenance, fuel, the fact that every flight was losing money, one would might be the major decrease in international flights after 9/11, what ever it is, it's gonna come down to costs and timing with Concorde
It's sad that the 2nd concorde prototype that fix the fuel tank issue was scrapped, it could've survived.
May guy said gaz guzzler to the concorde
Tu 144: Hold My Votka
pretty sure the tu144 beat the concorde by months, that plane did in fact have structural issues if it moved to quickly (i.e. fighter jet sorta moves). also the af4590 crash didnt mean the service would end, it was just a freak accident. the concordes' operating costs were getting very expensive due to limited fuel if i am not mistaken.
I wouldn’t exactly call it a failure until the end of its time operating, when no one wanted to fly due to events that occurred around when it came back into service after the incident to when it retired.
Not all countries banned supersonic flights
Fun fact:Singapore Airlines flew the Concorde once from Singapore to the United Kingdom
“It had a droop snoot”
-Droop snoot?
“The snoot would droop”
And also 9/11 a year later when Concorde was trying to get back up on its feet finally killed the beast
We all know why that Air France concorde crashed...
Im looking at you DC-10
Damn FOD
Small Parts fall of planes on takeoff it would still happen if it was a 747 or 777 taking off and the piece fell of
@GalacticBUILD oh but wasn’t there a similar incident to this Air France flight 40 or something like that but the plane made it back?
The Concorde was extremely successful in its later years with ticket prices being only for the ultra rich British air ways and air France turned a profit
if yall are wondering what happened and why the engine go kabbom by a metal thing. previously. a DC 10 left before the accident it left a metal peice in the runway. during the take off. the metal hitted the Conrcorde Tire Which Blew the tire and the rubber. a peice of rubber blew off the tire which hitts the engine full speed as heck it created a presure wave across the wing so strong that it hit the Fuel Engine which caused the fuel to leak out which caused a wire spark yall know what happens. (spark+fuel=kaboom) then eventually stalled and crashing in the Hotel Killing all passengers and 3 deaths in he hotel i think and the rest is history. (rip)
Alright heres a long text on how the concorde was actually very successful. I'm surprised if anyone reads the whole thing.
The concorde didn't fail, it beat the tu-144 and boeing 2707. When it entered service they didn't gain money by using it so It would be obvious that It would fail but the passengers said they thought it would be way more expensive then it really was so they thought "why not just charge them what they think we are gonna charge". And just like that concorde was a money making machine. They also gave passengers exclusive posters and gifts that showed that they flew with the concorde, so everyone wanted to try the supersonic plane. Not just that it would get them across the atlantic in 3 hours, but just so they could be in this magnificent plane. It was very luxurious to fly it as you would get tons of champagne, alot of delicious food and of course the supersonic flight itself. So they also started charter flights with the concorde that they would just. fly around for an hour and then land back just so passenger could experience the aircraft.
But of course then it crashed which wasn't even their fault, but they got grounded anyways. After some upgrades to the fuel tanks and tires they were to do a test flight to see if it was airworthy which it went perfectly. But that test flight was done on September 11 2001 so then right after that great flight the attacks on 9 11 happened which made everyone afraid of flying and concorde that everyone thought was gonna make a huge comeback in 2001 got retired in 2003.
"Do you think we have supersonic ppanes again? " Me: it-it's the BOOM overture
The crash was called Air France 4590
My grandpa used to fly Concorde and I will now list the 3 main problems

"The snoot would.. droop."
Fun fact: British airways shared a Concorde for Singapore airlines for routes between London and Singapore :/
NO UH UH I AM NOT GOING TO LET THIS PERSON LIE TO YALL
it crashes because a fucking DC-10 (Death Machine) left a metal strip from an engine on the runway, no one checked it, and the Concorde accidentally ran over it
The crash happened because of metal shrapnel left by a McDonell Douglas DC-10 that had previously departed. The poor Concorde had nothing to do with it.
A new super sonic plane is in the making from a brand new company and orders are already coming in from airlines
They can't achieve it rolls Royce and other companies pulled out
Almost sounds like one of Elon musk's ideas... big idea but never pans out
@@andlever2004 LoL
Do you think we’ll have supersonic planes again? Yes, we have them right now there fighter jets
The TU144 was first
nah
The new version of civil supersonic aircraft shouldn't using of an additional the "AFTERBURNER" for fuel efficiency and reduced of SONIC BOOM while high-speed flying in the overland area.
Concord didn't failed it had a early retirement. To the sonic booms cost of fuel and maintenance and the small amount of tickets sold. It wasnt viable for airliners to have
my phone the entire video: ⤴️↪️⤴️⤵️
Phone: you spin me rigth round baby rigth round!
Concord iirc is making a come back, better engines increasing efficiency making it more viable and sonic booms much more suppressed
it should come out around 2030
Fyi: the concorde crash is Air france 4590 in the date *25 July 2000*
