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 ...
Concorde is a tailless aircraft design with a narrow fuselage permitting 4-abreast seating for 92 to 128 passengers, an ogival delta wing and a droop nose for landing visibility. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojets with variable engine intake ramps, and reheat for take-off and
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 ...

Five years before Concorde’s first flight, ... The plane would later achieve a speed of just over 2,000 miles per hour, nearly 50% faster than Concorde.
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 ...
(203) was the Concorde lost in the crash of Air France Flight 4590 on 25 July 2000 in the small town of Gonesse, France near Le Bourget, located just outside Paris, killing 113 people. The remains of this aircraft are stored at a hangar at Le Bourget Airport. It is the only Concorde in the history of the design to be destroyed in a crash.
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 ...
