This film promotes the production of the Aerospatiale France and the British Aircraft Corporation Concorde Supersonic Jet, also known as the “World Shrinker”, due to its groundbreaking speed. It is presented by British Aircraft Corporation and Aerospatiale France and is produced in 1972 by the BAC Film Unit England. The film covers the world tour of the prototypes 001 and 002, and the development of the first pre-production jets.
“World Shrinker” title banner is written on a backdrop of the flying jet (00:16). An illustrated world map portrays the route of the world tour (00:32). A view of the production inside a Concorde Factory (00:59). The prototype 001 takes off, as an audience observes (01:09). The first flight carried the French President Georges Pompidou to the Azores in Portugal for a meeting with President Nixon of the United States (01:37). The Concorde 002’s reliability is demonstrated at the BAC flight test base at Barefoot before starting the world tour towards Australia with passengers including Aerospace Minister Heseltine and his wife (02:14). Tehran marks the first demonstration point en route, and Minister Heseltine meets with the Iranian Imperial Majesty (03:09). The tour continues to Bahrain, Bombay, Bangkok, and Singapore for the second demonstration point at the Singapore Airport (04:02). Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew is invited for a flight (04:31). Inside the jet, the steward effortlessly serves the passengers drinks, so portray the steadiness of the aircraft (05:05). The third demonstration takes place at the Anita Airport in Tokyo, Japan, before the journey continues to Manila, in the Philippines, and Darwin and Sydney in Australia (05:34). The next demonstration point is in Saudi Arabia, where passengers, including Crown Prince Abdulaziz, aboard the jet for a test-flight (07:42). Beirut marks the final demonstration point (08:42), and the Concorde 002 returns to Heathrow, London, where ministers and crewmember are welcomed (09:09). The jet remains parked in Heathrow Airport for three days for civilians and member of the royal family gather to admire the aircraft (10:36). Prince Philip flies the aircraft (11:22). The first pre-production Concorde 01 (12:54). A fuel rig in Filton functions as a test facility for simulating flight altitudes (13:10). At the Royal Aircraft Establishment, the airframe is being fatigue tested, while the airframe is kinetically heat tested in Toulouse in France (13:40). The second pre-production Concorde 02 presents essentially full production standards (14:00). Concorde 02 is being prepared for flights, as Concorde 01 is being modified to reach production standards (15:10). A Chinese delegation signed for the purchase of two Concorde in Paris, and more delegations follow (16:22). At a BAOC conference (16:56). The film is concluded with footage of the Concorde flying through a clear blue sky (17:26).
The Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde is a Franco-British supersonic airliner jointly developed and manufactured by Sud Aviation (later Aérospatiale) and the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). Studies started in 1954. The production cost was estimated at £70 million (£1.39 billion in 2021). Construction of the six prototypes began in February 1965, and the first flight took off from Toulouse on 2 March 1969. The market was originally estimated for 350 aircraft, but in the end only 20 Concordes were built. The planes became certified in 1975, and flew successfully in scheduled, trans-Atlantic service. The unique airliner could maintain an unprecedented supercruise speed of up to Mach 2.04 (2,167 km/h; 1,170 kn) at an altitude of 60,000 ft (18.3 km). Unfortunately, on 25 July 2000, Air France Flight 4590, a Concorde charter flight from Paris to New York, crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 people on board and four on the ground. It was the only fatal Concorde accident. After almost three decades of service, the aircraft were retired in 2003.

Concorde is really a larger version of a Mach 2 fighter jet, just got to love it. I doubt the world would ever see a passenger plane like this ever again in service.

@markaurelius61 Год назад

Exactly. As my French nephew says, Concorde is a big Mirage.

@sandervanderkammen9230 Год назад

@@markaurelius61 Yes, the Mirage was the first European Mach 2 jet.

I remember seeing it come into Kennedy Airport from 10 Mil East of there up at about 1500 feet in altitude. The most awesome flying machine ever produced.! The Rolls Royce Engines had a Boss Smooth sound like NOTHING else in the world. I watched one take off from the shore of L.I. east of there and as soon as it got to the horizon they opened the throttle for supersonic and U Could hear the Awesome roar of the engines from it even after it was way over the horizon for over 5 minutes!! A once in a lifetime experience. By that time it was probably 100 miles away !

@markdraper3469 Год назад

As a USAF radar op in '74, I remember the first time I saw the Concorde flash across the screen. Though we knew what it was, following the I.D. protocols, it was almost off the screen. The only thing more impressive at the time was the SR-71.

@jacksons1010 Год назад

Concorde was an epic misreading of the aviation market. This was an aircraft that cost more to operate than a 747 while carrying a quarter of the passengers. The cheapest ticket on Concorde cost more than the most expensive first class ticket on any other aircraft. Despite cutting travel time in half, Concorde could not compete on costs and was always going to be an aircraft for the rich elite, and the airlines realized those passengers would come at the expense of empty F seats on their 747's. If that wasn't enough, when OPEC raised oil prices in 1973 the economics of the fuel-hungry Concorde went from poor to catastrophic and all but a handful of orders were cancelled.

@huwzebediahthomas9193 Год назад

That is why MACH 2 still doesn't happen anymore - no profit, not until they develop new materials, like fuselage and wings hybrid ceramics materials.

If only aircraft corporations hadn’t lobbied against supersonic aircraft it might be very different

@martinusher1 Год назад

It was the first example of its type. The early jets weren't very efficient or particularly safe (Comet). Early propeller planes were expensive to fly in, slow, low capacity, used a huge amount of fuel. If I recall correctly the thing that primarily did Concorde in was the Americans -- it was bad enough that this wasn't an American plane but to make matters worse it could outperform anything the US military had (the SR-71 was a bit faster but an operational nightmare, it leaked like a sieve on the ground and had to be refueled with a different fuel once in the air before it could go supersonic). Anyway, once it started being tested and appeared to be functional there was a lot of press stories about noise, pollution and so on -- a concerted press campaign to kill it. The plane was eventually only (grudgingly) allowed a couple of transatlantic routes, enough to salvage national pride but not enough to make it economic (or dent the US's commercial aircraft near monopoly). If you don't believe me then look what happened with the marketing campaign for the new 737, how the press was full of stories about how Airbus couldn't compete any longer. This drumbeat kept up until a couple of them dropped out of the sky. Next up will be the global effort to shun COMAC's product (and don't mention the Russians....).

@jacksons1010 Год назад

@@martinusher1 No, no, no....this "blame the Americans" for every failed aircraft project is tiresome. You can look up the order list for the Concorde and note how many US airlines placed options to buy - hardly a boycott, sir. Then note the date that the order cancellations came, from late 1972 into 1973, coinciding with the massive increase in fuel costs. THAT is what killed Concorde. The environmental and noise concerns were always present, but most of the active protests came later around 1976 when BOAC and Air France started operating their aircraft - and *those protests were seen just as much on the European side of the Atlantic as in America* .

@Error-fourOfour Год назад

France's withdrawal from NATO in 1966 would certainly be another factor to consider.

@huwzebediahthomas9193 Год назад

Used to work with a couple of research and development engineers who worked in Filton, Bristol, on Concorde's avionics development, in the 1990's.

@leobakkerflightandspace6655 Год назад

Concorde was the product of a time of a great belief in technological progress in aerospace in general. For quite some time in the 1960s there were more engineers working on the Boeing 2707 than on the 747 because Boeing too thought that the future would be supersonic. In fact, the 747 nose got its shape from the belief that in ten years time it would only be used for freight and passengers would fly supersonic. And take for instance the grandiose plans for bases and mobile labs on the moon, as a follow up to the initial Apollo lunar landings. The difference with the other plans and Concorde was that it was just far enough advanced to avoid cancellation by the time it became clear that most of these grandiose schemes were a bridge too far when viewed from the point of view of the economic reality of the early 70s, rather than just the insatiable optimism in the promise of the future of only a few years earlier.

@sandervanderkammen9230 Год назад

Concorde was a perfect example of everything wrong with the U.K. aircraft industry... one big colossal flop after another until the complete colapse and the demise of britian aviation industry.

@whirledpeas3477 Год назад

Forget about the cost, compared to the Apollo program taking men to the moon, SST was a bargain.

@davidrobertson5700 Год назад

Concorde was probably made to show the Russians we could afford jets like that so it would make them waste money on a way to counter any military version. Don't forget the cold war was designed to make Russia waste what little money it had on wasteful projects until it ran out in the 90s

Heseltine got the piss absolutely ripped out of him by Iran. All the guy wanted to do was have a go at the controls - which he did. They never intended to buy even one.

@mazdaman0075 Год назад

Well the British also wanted permission to overfly Iranian airspace so it was a bit of a trade off as the Shah granted that (not sure if commercial Concordes ever did that in the end though, and we know what happened not long after to the Shah in 1979). I saw an interview with Heseltine years later and he knew he was getting screwed to the floorboards but that was all part of the game of global horse trading.

Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes. In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous RU-vid users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do. Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films!
