Concorde isn’t coming out of retirement, but supersonic jets are, United just ordered a bunch of supersonic jets from a company called Boom! And there are a bunch of private supersonic jets coming out soon aswell!
They haven't placed direct orders. they have expressed interest and put bids to buy into the type once it enters production but they are not contractual purchases - United could easily pull out of the deal at any time.
@@DigBipper188 oh ok - a smart descision if you ask me - I wouldnt commit to buying jets either unless there was a working prototype, which i think there will be in 2026? could be wrong
@@mrspecs9211 Yeah. BOOM has a test platform in the XB-1 but no Overture test platform yet. Pretty sure they're working on the full-scale mockup as we speak and as soon as they have engines available they should hopefully have an airborne Overture prototype. That last bit's rather 50-50 though. Initially they were working with Rolls-Royce to produce high bypass turbofan engines that would be able to handle supercruise-type flight under the wing of an airliner, but Rolls have stepped out of the partnership and no other engine manufacturer wants to take on the task of designing the engines with BOOM (yet)
Even when subsonic I doubt the Concorde could operate out of many domestic airports due to noise regulations favoring the high-bypass fans everything is using today. Speed isn't even a major factor with modern airliners as they all fly well below their max to save fuel as much as possible. I'm not thinking the experimental aircraft designed to make quiet sonic booms are going to pan out...we'll see but don't be surprised if they don't work as well as promised.
Lol no, the noise was by far not the biggest issue of the concord., that the concord never was able to come even close of making profit was the biggest issue.
@@Brian.Murraythe concord only ever made a profit because ticket prices were exorbitant. In todays economy that wouldn’t be doable. The concord was extremely hot and uncomfortable, inefficient, and loud. They never went above Mach 1 over populated areas though, so sound was literally never an issue with the concord. They only reached Mach 1 over the ocean.
There are new supersonic sowing out that fix the sound issues many are private tho but some air lines are buying from a company called boom! So not Concorde but new supersonics
1000 Word Explain Of The Concorde. The Concorde was a supersonic passenger airliner that was developed jointly by the British and French governments in the 1960s. The two countries were looking to create a plane that could fly faster than any other commercial airliner, and they succeeded - the Concorde could reach speeds of up to Mach 2.04, or over twice the speed of sound. The first Concorde prototype was built in 1965, and the first test flight took place in 1969. After several years of further testing and development, the Concorde finally went into commercial service in 1976, with British Airways and Air France as the primary operators. The Concorde was a marvel of engineering, incorporating some truly revolutionary technology. Its most distinctive feature was its delta wing design, which was optimized for high-speed flight. The plane was also equipped with afterburners, which allowed it to reach supersonic speeds. Its engines were designed to be as efficient as possible, and the entire plane was built from lightweight materials to help reduce fuel consumption. One of the most impressive things about the Concorde was its speed. It could travel from New York to London in just 3.5 hours, compared to a typical flight time of around 7 hours. This made it an incredibly attractive option for business travelers and anyone else looking to save time. The Concorde was also known for its luxurious amenities, including gourmet meals and personalized service. Despite its many advantages, the Concorde was not without its problems. One of the biggest issues was its high operating costs. The plane was incredibly expensive to build and maintain, and its fuel consumption was also higher than that of other commercial airliners. This meant that ticket prices for Concorde flights were prohibitively expensive for most people - a round-trip ticket from New York to London cost around $8,000. Additionally, the Concorde was not without its safety concerns. In 2000, an Air France Concorde crashed shortly after takeoff from Paris, killing all 109 passengers and crew on board as well as 4 people on the ground. The crash was caused by a piece of debris on the runway that punctured one of the plane's tires, causing it to explode and damage one of the engines. The Concorde's fuel tanks were also located in a vulnerable position, which made them more susceptible to damage in the event of an accident. In the wake of the crash, public confidence in the Concorde began to wane. Many airlines began to retire their Concorde fleets, and the plane's reputation never fully recovered. In 2003, both British Airways and Air France announced that they would be retiring their Concorde planes for good. The final Concorde flight took place on October 24, 2003, bringing an end to an era of supersonic passenger travel. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the Concorde remains an iconic symbol of aviation history. Its sleek design and incredible speed captured the imaginations of people around the world, and its legacy continues to inspire new generations of engineers and designers. Speaking of travel, have you thought about where you'd like to go on your next vacation? Maybe somewhere with a beautiful beach, or a bustling city full of culture and excitement? Whatever your travel preferences, there are plenty of amazing destinations out there just waiting to be explored.
Even subsonic Concorde was noisy. But it’s 1960s tech, so understandable. Same engines as Vulcan. Don’t think supersonic travel will ever be viable, especially now we have Teams.
😅😅😅 we will never again have commercial jets that fast.. they prove earth is not spinning. Leaving London to New York flying faster than the earth is.said to spin the flight should only take around 30 min....but it never did. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would it be viable to have a European hosted team in a US sports league or vice versa? NFL team in London? Premiere team in NYC? Certainly not viable with 7+ hour travel times across the pond. But what if a new supersonic jet took only 3 hours? That is almost doable.
Well only the super Rich can fly that... The Concord used I think 3 or 4 Times more fuel then a normal airliner... And it can only take 1/2 of a normal Jet...
Hope the days of long flights won’t be over, as much as I hate a screaming baby on an airplane, earplugs help, or putting your AirPods in your ears then putting sound cancelling headphones over them works if you want to use your devices
the noise was not the biggest issue. that was a non factor in its demise. the biggest issue was the cost of operattion. the two crashes did not helf either.
@@christianjforbes what are you trying to say, exactly? concorde was bleeding money like the average londoner after a certain point, regardless of whether "it was the aircraft for me".
@@christianjforbesNot only the F-BTSC’s demise, but also other factors like the effects after 9/11, Airbus’ discontinue to support the Concorde’s maintenance, & aging.
Wrong, that is a myth. Noise clearly was not why it failed. The Concord cost way to much to operate and inefficient rightful use with low weight carry capabilities. That is why it failed. It was a complex, expensive to maintain. The nose that hinged down added a lot of weight and complexity, while innovative for the time is a major flaw adding lots of wasteful weight and complexity. I have been on one, it fusalage is a tiny tight barely usable tube that can barely carry any liggage. So noise clearly is not who it failed. It never made money, that's why it failed. It didn't make money because of it's economically poor design.
It DID make money at least for BA but after 9/11 it didn't make money that's why airbus pulled the plug due to double the maintaining cost Nd fall in pax for both airlines
Absolutely not. the concorde program was canned by BAC Aerospatiale because of the high running costs and bans which occurred as a result of the sonic boom. BOOM Aero and Lockheed Martin are researching means of reducing the sonic boom, however. If they are successful and can operate these jets in passenger service sustainably, then we may see a resurgence in supersonic passenger travel. But only if those problems can be resolved.
Though the Concorde is capable to fly at mach 2, that is almost three times speed of normal jet planes, they can maintain supersonic speeds only over oceans and after leaving lands far behind. Again at destination, they need to decelerate before they come over land. So real time saving in flying is far less for the ton of money on tickets. Next as on date, at any major airport anywhere in the world we waste a lot of time at the airport, from checkin, baggage checkin, emigration, security check and wait at gates, boarding time and and at destination deboarding, to immigration, baggage collect, customs checks and reach your destination. You won't really feel any time saved or gained at all by flying supersonic. So for a (say) seven hours flight across Atlantic, you may save only three hours by Concorde for the ton of extra money. But, add total travel time other than actually being in the sky is anywhere between five to eight hours from home to destination. So what did you save?
we used to aim for the sky & shoot rockets to the moon…now we quarrel about who can go to which bathroom & who can swim on which team. we’ve slid backwards enough times that we’ve lost our way forward. get it together, people (myself well included) of the world.
No they didn't , they could have flown for another 15 years , it became uneconomical to fly after 9/11 . They had a 27 year span and had😊 Enough flying hours to fly for over a decade

The Lockheed “quessst” got me tripping
The British/french legend may not come back into service but will still live on in museums
The concord only went super sonic over the ocean
your just a kid, in the 60's we loved loud sonic booms.
Concorde will never come back for retirement because of how polluting this jet is, the maintenance cost and how expensive the tickets are gonna be.
The comcorde is impressive
What with military planes which are supersonic and flaying all the time!
It's done. The plane couldn't make money consistently. The only reason it worked was direct government subsidies.
Does he wield a lightsaber
I thought the main reason was the ticket was expensive
but what about the B747?
唉！繳盡腦漬，卻變成了這樣，，，，
Can you even make you death
how about just back it down to just under the speed of sound
Probably not gonna happen as its not as economical and the tickets are gonna cost a fortune
Yet united just ordered 28 supersonic jets. N if the Americans can't afford it, it's fine by me. No idiots on my flight.
Supersonic planes will reduce flight time by more than half, I'm sure some people would pay more than double to endure less than half of flying time.

if you could buy a concorde you wouldn't have enough money for a taxi because it use 2 tonnes of fuel
It's biggest issue was most definitely fuel consumption
No carbon footprint here.🤣 All joking aside, this is exciting!
Concorde has the highest thermal efficiency and compressor ratio of any jet ever
Even when subsonic I doubt the Concorde could operate out of many domestic airports due to noise regulations favoring the high-bypass fans everything is using today.

Aside from the development dollars, it made a profit on every flight. It was expensive, but it was profitable.

it's concorde with an e and sorry to be a 🤓☝️
Concord did not fail, yanks couldnt build better back then and certainly wont get permission to fly over land😂
It wasn’t the sound, it was the two massive crashes you dolt.
My mum use to live in felstead and watch the concord blast of
Not a chance. Airbus pulled the plug, they wouldn’t support engineering for it. Most of them are museum pieces with concrete in their fuel tanks…🙁
There are new supersonic sowing out that fix the sound issues many are private tho but some air lines are buying from a company called boom! So not Concorde but new supersonics
airbus didint exist at the time. concorde flew before man landed on the moon. the airframes were ancient by the 2000s.
@@nick4506 airbus was the legacy maintainer and they pulled out of providing engineering support.
They are designing a new plane that looks almost identical to the Concorde I heard
I wish it could come back 😢.
The Concord banned because of the Sound Barrier? Yet nobody ask why the Government get to flys their Jets inland.
Concorde was retired because of running costs and safety issues, regarding the Air France crash.

a slight noise reduction and flying at 75k feet instead if 60k could bring the Concorde back from retirement
A number of good reasons? How about a very public loss of aircraft.
No. They will never fly again. It isn’t illegal to have the engines in the wing.
