I flew Concorde once at age 26 in July 1979. Mach 2.02 London to New York in 3 hrs 23 min at 58,000 feet. On the ground I drove a 1978 Citroen 2CV6. Max speed 115 kph and a credit for all the up hills I could not reach the speed limit. On down hills I broke the ear drum sound barrier at 130 hph... Here in Australia.
I lived near Dulles Airport most of my adult life. I always loved watching the jets. The Concorde was my favorite. You could hear it crossing over the house, but you could never see it. It would be gone! Thank you for this. I loved it!! ❤️🌹❤️
2:53 incredible work by the pilot in such a powerful crosswind. you can see the plane literally landing diagonally and the flaps moving like crazy from how strong the crosswind was. Crazy how durable the a380 is in these winds. truly a state of the art in aircraft design.
I've seen that first A380 landing before. The crosswind is crazy. I don't blame the pilot for putting her down too hard. I imagine he was fighting a lot of lift under the wings. Also, when he's taxiing down the runway, you can really see the horizontal stabilizers twitching in the wind.
But we could not make a reverse engine, and therefore the Tu-144 had a braking landing parachute in case of wet weather. In addition, the experimental modification of the Tu-144LL with engines from the Tu-160 bomber, accelerated to 2600 km per hour, as a result of which he lost some of the paint and some aluminum wing parts ... but it's cool.
Actually, no. That pilot made a serious mistake by trying to catch back the runway centerline at all costs. He created a PIO ( Pilot Induced Oscillation ) which could have had tragic consequences. Every pilot who saw that video said that immediately : PIO ! PIO ! Thanks God, the A-380 is super sturdy and stable so it did not result in an accident or I should better say : a deadly catastrophe. Conclusion : A bad pilot who got reprimanded and had to undergo extra training.
The Convair 990A is still the fastest non-supersonic commercial transport to have ever been produced. During May 1961, one of the pre-production 990 prototype aircraft set a record of .97 Mach in level flight at an altitude of 22,500 ft. (6.9 km), equivalent to a true airspeed of 675 mph (1 086 km/h). Wikipedia
Perhaps you should take a reading comprehension course. It dove from a higher altitude and it reached .97 during that dive when it reached 22,000 ft., it's in plain English there is no ambiguity and the source is a magazine article which I looked at and it states the same thing, it was during a dive, not in level flight. During May 1961, one of the pre-production 990 prototype aircraft, while demonstrating the margin between its operating speed and its capability during a dive at .97 Mach from 32,000 ft to 22,500 ft, reached 675 miles per hour (1,086 km/h) at an altitude of 22,000 feet (6.7 km)
Darryl daniel george Bish ,There is no ,,old,, Concorde ! omg just to say old and Concorde in one sentence. She is the only type of Concorde there is ❤️ 50 jears on now. A ,,new,, one is never gonna look and feel so special. Visit one at a moment that your the only one present and enjoy. 👍
That A380 landing looks like to know drift. Holy crap, I have never seen hundreds of tons just slid around like that. I'll bet that captain had to check his jockey shorts after that.
Speed of sound varies. What this video listed are speeds based on speed of sound at sea level. The speed of sound reduces as altitude increases. For most jet airplanes, mach 1 is at about 660-670 mph. The citation and A380 are not able to fly 700 mph.
i always dreamed to fly on a concorde when i grew up. when they came out in 1976, i was 6 years old. i obviously never got the chance. that and never got to own a delorean :(
A man after my own heart The Concorde was and will always be the true Queen of the sky closely followed by the glorious majestic 747 Well I never got to fly on the Concorde but own a Delorean I'm still hoping have a couple of cars for my collection to buy and restore first
Warum eigentlich wurde die Concorde ausser Dienst gestellt u d nicht weiter entwickelt ?Das Design dieses Flugzeugs war doch Top! Hat mir sehr gut gefallen,weil es an einen Vogel erinnert.
@@albee8259 they did, they retired it because it wasn't making enough money for British airways or air French. To bad they didn't keep one air worthy for special occasions. Was and still is the most beautiful plane made. R.i.p. concorde. Sadly missed.
I read a while back there is a fund to put a Concorde back in the air, tbh now I can’t see it happening but I read the pot of money was quite large. Also in the same article they wanted to buy and and put it near the London eye and you could go on it and have a Concorde meal, that was the idea I read.
Really? Maybe you fly these things Captain Omala4727, but there's a reason the're going out of production. Just a big double decker bus, with people squashed in like sardines!
@@GiorgiosP13 it's killing me they are going out of production, they are my best favourite machines,have you tried business class or first class.? They have one of the world's best.
@@captainomala5451 I understand your point but the A380 never sold very well, plus the fact that many airports were reluctant to spend the money to be able to accept the plane into the terminal. I have only flown first class once when the plane was full and the only available seats were in first class, the airline gave me a first class seat for the price of a regular seat! Melbourne to Hong Kong, magnificent...!
@@GiorgiosP13 apparently being not small doesn't come cheap, more fuel, more parking, longer runaways, so it might have been like concorde air France which was way ahead of its time. The first class experience, well, that was wonderful from the airliner 💪🏾
@@captainomala5451 One other thing I remember from back in the day. When Boeing first built the 747, they designed the hump at the front to be like a lounge area for first class passengers. As soon as the airlines started buying them they just filled that area with seats!
The British Vickers VC-10 still holds the trans-Atlantic speed record for a subsonic aircraft. This was also one of the most beautiful planes ever produced, sadly they have all now been taken out of service
Don't forget the BAC VC10 subsonic record holder for the fastest trans Atlantic crossings from London to New York. Don't forget also the Convair C990 Coronado.
Para Pilot penguji pswt trbang mpnyai kmpuan luar biasa dr sgi tekhnik take off dm landing. Aplgi dlm dlm mnrbangkn concorde and tupolev. 144. Smoga sukses slalu. Amiin.
Sorry, I know that this is an old video, but it bugs me so much: THE A380 CRUISES AT 576 MPH NOT 676!! DURING SPEED TESTING IN A DIVE IT REACHED ABOUT THIS SPEED!!! IN A DIVE!! >:(
The Tu-144 was faster than the Concorde in both speed... And fuel consumption, as it had to fly on full afterburner to keep up it's supersonic cruise speed, greatly reducing it's operational range to just 3400 NM (400 NM shorter than Concorde's)
@@mentalistabohemio9202 "even"? Dude, as for me 27 years of operation is impressive for every aircraft. Anyway, the Concordski flew for 23 years, its final flight was on MAKS aviation...I guess, festival in 1999. I love it, by the way
GrrMeister the Concorde was whisper quiet during supersonic flight & u flew so high that u r out of the weather n wouldn’t even have a ripple in you’re champagne 🍾
I wondered, because the figures of range 16000 and 12 hours would come out at just over 1300 km per hour, or 800 miles per hour. Sounds improbably quick. If its cruising speed was even 600 mph the range in hours would be approx 16.
the longest route it flies today is 14 hours from Dubai to Auckland which Emirates does. Interestingly, Emirates also fly the shortest A380 route, a 40 minute shuttle between Dubai and Muscat
Concorde too advance for his era, even though it was a manual plane it had 4 of the best tubine engines built by no other then R. Royce's. Its till now the best super sonic comercial plane ever built. That says it all.
@@leonpona yeah and it was a death trap. They ran it on 1 route, and people had to pass written notes when sat next to eachother as it was so loud. Even the Russian media ridiculed it😂😂
Falso. Boeing si invirtió en el desarrollo de un avión supersónico, el B-2707, el proyecto fué cancelado en Mayo de 1971 debido al elevado costo del mismo y los recortes del presupuesto del gobierno de USA (el cual financiaría hasta el 75% del costo de este). Este proyecto estuvo a punto de llevar a Boeing a la bancarrota.
it's the airspeed that counts ( MACH ), the fastest to JFK other than concorde was an old one the vickers VC-10, however a Boeing recently flew east JFK to heathrow with a ground speed of 821mph not supersonic, thanks for the video, that cessna's engine's looked massive, i hear aircraft of today are slower than plane's of the past, thankyou
