Concorde Supersonic Airliner
The Concorde was a supersonic transport (SST) that was a joint development by France's Aérospatiale and the UK's BAC (British Aircraft Corporation). Its maiden flight was in 1969, and went into passenger service from 1976-2003.

The Concorde was built in France and England by BAC (now BAE Systems) and Aérospatiale (now EADS) in the early 70's.
Why is the supersonic transport named Concorde?
Concorde is French for 'agreement', and this was chosen to signify the agreement and co-operation between Britain and France in developing the plane.
The alliance between the French and British led to Concorde's construction. The name Concorde is from the French word Concorde, which is the English equivalent of Concord. It means agreement or union. It was at first referred to by UK as Concorde with the French spelling but was changed to Concord by Macmillan.
They named it that because of a treaty! How cool!
Concorde's name reflects the development agreement between the United Kingdom and France. In the UK, any or all of the type-unusual for an aircraft-are known simply as "Concorde", without an article. The aircraft is regarded by many people as an aviation icon and an engineering marvel.
Thats why it was named the Concorde.
They were allies in world war 2.
The Concorde is a really fast jet.
Concorde is called Concorde because when Britain and France were thinking of a name a civil servent's family thought of it.it means "agreement between persons, groups, nations,and harmony, goodwill,and friendship.At first it was spelt concord by the british,but the french wanted to call it Concorde.There was a bit of an argument and in the end it was Concorde.
How long does it take Concorde to Pakistan?
The Concorde, which was retired in 2003, had a cruising speed of about Mach 2.04, or approximately 1,354 miles per hour (2,180 km/h). The flight time from London to Pakistan would typically take around 4 to 5 hours, depending on the specific destination and flight path. However, since the Concorde is no longer in service, commercial flights to Pakistan now take longer, usually ranging from 7 to 10 hours.
Why are there Concorde controls in fsx?
It wa considered worthy of a model when the simulator was being created It was finishing its service life when FSX was launched and MS decided to retail the iconic aircraft
How many gallons of fuel does the Concorde jet guzzle per takeoff?
It used close to 2 tons (weight) of fuel taxiing to the take off point. At low speeds its engines were not fuel efficient at all, but at cruising altitude they were then at their peak performance and fuel economy.
What is created when an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound?
When a plane travels near to or faster than the speed of sound then the air pressure near the plane's body reduces and due to aerodynamically design the pressure change shifts towards the tail .
Due to low pressure the moisture and air around there contract instantly and forms a cloud and then that air expands rapidly created a loud burst (It can Break Glass).
Here is your answer, It is SONIC BOOM.
No, it never was a practical aircraft and became obsolete, unsafe, and unmaintainable.
In the 1960s when it was designed the US, USSR, and Canada also designed similar SSTs. Only the USSR actually succeeded in building and flying theirs. However due to environmental issues, concerns over property damage from sonic booms, rising costs, etc. all of these other projects were ended by the 1980s.
Eventually those issues caught the Concorde too, and following some serious accidents including the complete loss of one plane and all aboard when a tire blew out after running over debris on the runway, it was decided to end it too.
Mostly because of landing gear failures on both take off and landing.
What are the characteristics of this layer that make it the ideal for the Concorde to travel?
I have no idea
What is the speed of the Concorde?
The Concorde's maximum speed was at Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph). It's cruising speed was at Mach 2.02 (1,340 mph).
Why did we stop using the Concorde?
The main trigger was the crash of a Concorde in 2000; all the passengers and crew died. For some years, Concorde had been flying at a loss (even after writing off the huge development costs). After the crash, all Concordes were grounded and airlines took the commercial decision to discontinue the service.
Why the Concorde wouldn't travel lower?
It was a very fast huge plane. I saw it land once while waiting for a flight in Europe and it was very distinctive plane.
Was Concorde the fasted plane that ever flown?
No Concorde was the fastest Commercial passenger airliner ever built.
It was not the fastest plane ever built.
Where was Concorde built in the UK?
Concorde was primarily built at the British Aircraft Corporation's (BAC) facilities in Filton, near Bristol, England. The final assembly took place at the BAC plant in Brooklands, Surrey. These locations were integral to the development and construction of the supersonic passenger aircraft, which was a collaborative project between the UK and France.
What did Concorde measure in meters?
The Concorde was 61.66 meters long and had a wingspan of 25.56 meters.
Who was chief test pilot on Concorde?
i know who was the test pilot of the first concorde it was andre turcat
What two countries agreed to develop the Concorde jet in 1962?
France and Great Britain jointly developed the Concorde.
