Such a layout would still have good supersonic performance, but also have reasonable take-off and landing speeds using vortex generation. [11] The aircraft would have to take off and land very "nose high" to generate the required vortex lift, which led to questions about the low speed handling qualities of such a design. [13]
Partial reheat providing a 20% thrust increase [3] was installed to give the take-off thrust required for Concorde to operate from existing runways, and for transonic acceleration from Mach 0.95 up to Mach 1.7; the aircraft flew supersonically without reheat above that speed. At cruise the engine's direct contribution (transferred by its mounts ...
Unfortunately this implies a high jet velocity, which makes the engines noisy, particularly at low speeds/altitudes and at take-off. [26] Therefore, a future SST might well benefit from a variable cycle engine, where the specific thrust (and therefore jet velocity and noise) is low at take-off, but is forced high during supersonic cruise ...
According to Mulder & Wunsch (2003), Concorde “is widely regarded as the fastest TSP solver, for large instances, currently in existence.” In 2001, Concorde won a 5000 guilder prize from CMG for solving a vehicle routing problem the company had posed in 1996. [7] Concorde requires a linear programming solver and only supports QSopt [8] and ...
Concorde, the world’s fastest commercial aircraft, has been making a rare journey – floating down New York’s Hudson River. Record-breaking supersonic Concorde airplane floats down New York ...
The official handover ceremony of British Airways' first Concorde occurred on 15 January 1976 at Heathrow Airport. Air France Concorde (F-BTSC) at Charles de Gaulle Airport on 25 July 1975, exactly 25 years before the accident in 2000 British Airways Concorde in Singapore Airlines livery at Heathrow Airport in 1979 Air France Concorde (F-BTSD) with a short-lived promotional Pepsi livery in ...

In 2003, Lewis Whyld took an instantly classic photograph of the Concorde on its last flight, soaring over the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, United Kingdom.
