After undergoing extensive refurbishment, a Concorde aircraft has been floated on a barge down the Hudson River in New York to return to the museum where it resides. This Franco-British jet, which last flew across the Atlantic in 2003, had been housed at the Intrepid Museum until it was removed for refurbishment in August 2023; it has now been returned to the museum. Leslie Scott, a former Concorde pilot said: 'I've never seen it look so good. I mean, it is a beautiful, beautiful job that the Intrepid have managed to do. As I said, when I used to fly it, it didn't look like that'.

@floydjohnson7888 5 месяцев назад

@ironhell813 Just to confuse things further, the Concorde program was an Anglo-French venture. I imagine some American museum curators "felt the need for speed" (I think there's one in the Smithsonian's Dulles extension) and therefore filed the relevant applications with program managers.

These jets used to pass over my flat when I lived in Wandsworth, London UK.. the loud noise they made was staggering ..even as the engines were at cruising speed before they went flame on to break the sound barrier !.. awesome airplane.. dearly missed. I wished I could have travelled on one.. best French/English creation since the camembert sandwich

@halloweenville1 5 месяцев назад

Start saving your pennies now and in another five years you can book a seat on the new Boom Overture. They'll make 86% of the speed of Concord without needing afterburners, nor will they annoy folks on the ground with sonic booms. The 2:53 record will be safe, boom will require 3:30 for that ran.

Beautiful piece of engineering but far too expensive. It’s more economical to fly more passengers at once at a slower speed, than to fly fewer at a higher speed. Not to mention it could only actually land on very few runways.

@ChrisMelville 5 месяцев назад

I live near Heathrow Airport, and have fond memories of seeing Concorde fly overhead more than once per day. I always wanted to fly on her. Sadly, she was taken out of service by the time I was earning enough money to afford a ticket. We have gone backwards. She is truly missed.

@Truth-of-the-matter 5 месяцев назад

Engines have developed significantly since the Concorde the problem has always been the Sonic Boom which most people would not want to encounter above their house. Airlines also figured out that its more costly to fly at higher speeds which is why 500ish is the standard. Until they develop more fuel efficient engines or better dampening for the Sonic Boom those won't be in service for another decade or so.
