- Concorde was one of the most iconic aircraft to ever grace the sky. But for two weeks, Pepsi took over one of the most famous Concorde’s as part of their massive ‘Project Blue’ campaign. This transformation from white to blue caused some problems for the supersonic airliner.
Thanks to Simeon Pines for his awesome footage:

My family works in the film and tv industry (mainly lighting and gaffering) and has done so in some capacity since the early 1960s. My uncle was involved in this press event, to what degree I don’t know but there’s a picture of him posing in front of the “Pepsi Concorde” with one hand on his hip and the other up in the air gesturing to the nose of the aircraft, topped off with a dopey smile, in fairness it’s acutally a pretty good picture. It’s taken from about the aircrafts 10 o clock. He also everdently got to go in a BA Concorde while he was there too as there’s another picture of him leaning out of the cockpit window of one them.

I guess Pepsi blue it.
😃

pepsi painted themselves into a corner over that one. Coke was still more pop-ular.
🤣🤣🤣 (_insert palpatine dew it meme_
I guess Korean Air blue it
Imagine spending $5 million on an ad and it was never aired
Monster12255 to be fair 5 million wouldn’t be a lot of money for such a huge company
It happens more often than you'd think.
Kit Vitae they should start giving me 5 million
@@harleymurphy9025 tru
Give me 5 million and I’ll paint myself blue and run outside naked for Pepsi
Imagine dropping 10mil to show that you changed your can from red to blue.
Especially as it still tasted like crap.

that was the smoothest transition into a sponsor thingy i’ve ever seen lmao
Smooth, but not as seamless as Ed @vinwiki
Yeah but just watch LazyPurple's "Extras from What it feels like to play Pyro in TF2"
I thought of Nordvpn on the 1st word
I was thinking of the same thing that was incredibly smooth 😂
Even Linus Tech Tips isn't that smooth with the transitions
So they turned the fastest version of Concorde into the slowest just by painting it blue 😂
Red goez fasta!
So Pepsi is run by orkz
@Bri Ba damn shawty ok
And there was me thinking British Airways had slowed theirs down enough by pushing ticket prices up beyond the altitude of the space shuttle and then applying that frankly _ridiculous_ interpretation of the UK flag on the tailplane... 🐌🇬🇧😉
Version of Concorde
There was only one type and if was the slowest would be stationary
It could never go supersonic as heat buildup would prevent safe flight
Concorde looked pretty cool in blue actually. That bird is timeless, it still looks modern today 50 plus years after it was first designed.
"There was too much red on their (Pepsi) cans."

@@eeeesyywuwiz2836 that's subjective
Pepsi was actually very popular in the Soviet Union. And they made a lot of money there.
"tin can"
*that's a masterpiece of engineering* ...
Lmao
Tin cans ARE a masterpiece of engineering.
The raduis is perfect to be held in the hand.
The length and raduis is to optimize aluminum efficiency.
The strength is strong enough to withstand carbonation.
The tab opens can without a can opener.
The tab doubles as a straw holder.
The can is lined to prevent rust.
The can is recyclable.
@@Mrkevi123 Still less of a marvel than one of the two supersonic airliners to ever fly.
Can be said for any plane
Kevin Hinojosa cool where can I buy a can
I will forever love the droop snoot
LOL allways hated the drop nose, bandaid fix huge unnessary huge weight gain and adds unnecessary complexity and, unrealiability.
Its called the droop snoot so the snoot will droop
alan connelly it was necessary for the nose to be long and pointed for aerodynamics. You can’t see the taxiway when taxiing with it in the way, so Concorde and it’s Soviet rival the Tupolev 144 both worked around the problem by allowing the nose to drop down so the taxiway can be seen easily.
MrSupercar55 I thought it was also a rudder.
It’s also used when landing because the Concorde has a high angle of attack at low speeds
Plot twist: this whole video was created to advertise expressVPN
Yup. What a bunch of slimy f#*ckers !
Oh - ad got me, Sharon
not a plot twist. I would say -typical.
Fucking clickbait shit. Why exactly did the blue paint cause a problem for Concord? Sounds to me like it caused a problem for Pepsi
@@MrIronhorse1 He says quite clearly, the Concord already heated up alot during flight due to friction, and to combat this a special paint was needed to dissapate heat enough for the plane to reach and maintain it's high speeds. With this blue paint job, the plane was limited to a max speed of Mach 2, and there only for 20 minutes, to avoid major problems with the fuselage heating up.
The Concord is easily the most beautiful aircraft ever built. She looked like a swan when cruising and those lines are just stunning. I was obsessed with this plane when I was a kid and bought just about every model of her that came out. My cousin became a captain for Britannia airlines and he told me Concord was the most beautiful plane he had ever seen. He also told me Concord was so advanced because it was designed from scratch and was unconventional and engineered beautifully.

“Safer than flying at Mach 2 in a tin can.” This is referring to an airplane with 27 years in the air and a perfect safety record.
There was one accident and it was caused by the grossly negligent maintenance of a foreign airline’s plane.
That is not the full truth Rory, for the whole sorry story and the facts watch this. th-cam.com/video/fqOcYhzWUZY/w-d-xo.html The strip of metal from the Continental DC10 was just one factor in a whole series of events comprising of maintainance and aircrew errors which went to make up the accident chain. The Air France Concorde was over weight, with too much fuel and baggage on board, it was aft of c of g limits, it took off down wind, over a lip on a pievce of runway wich was being resurfaced and officially closed, there was a pacer missing from the left main undercarriage bogey, the flight engineer shut down a perfectly servicable engine immediatey after the aircraft got airborne, with out consulting the Captain.
@@markdesmond4947 Still not a design error. It was pilot error then.
Did the Bree from UTC time the dc10 debree riped the tire and since he filled the plane With full fuel it was to heavy lost an engine from the tire being in the engine as stalled
Mark Desmond you are completely correct about all of those things. However, none of them were intrinsic design flaws in the Concorde that would make it true to say that she was a dangerous airplane.
You can shoot a guy with a shotgun and make him run a mile. When he collapses does that mean that there is something wrong with him?
Mark Desmond In fact all of the mistakes and miscalculations that you mention would have been absorbed into the robustness of the Concorde’s design were it not for that stupid friggin strip of metal.
The plane probably flew a thousand times with the CG wrong, overloaded, took off in a dead calm that people on the internet 30 years later will call a tailwind. There was NOTHING wrong with that airplane. There was NOTHING wrong with how it was being operated. The pilot was a hero and the conclusions were come to so Air France could call the insurance company. The cause of the accident was the shard of metal off the DC10
"Having a business meeting over the internet is probably safer than flying at mach 2 in a tin can."
Seconds later
"Whenever you're connected to public WiFi it's incredibly easy for hackers to steal your passwords, emails, and credit card information."
Well that doesn't sound safer!
@Entrepreneur needs Team This is the stupidest way to advertise. LOL
I'm not sure who had the more creative advertising idea, Pepsi or ExpressVPN
😂😂😂
The Concorde. What an epic plane!
It is! And always will be, I even have a picture of the Concorde that's in the Smithsonian air museum near Dulles airport when I was on a school trip to Washington DC!
Ok so fast speed and air friction was problem because air frame was expanding and shrinking during the flight.
So how UFOs can fly way way faster than Concorde, some radar data tracked UFOs at incredible speed of 6 miles per second.
How they can do it?
@@oldi184 IDK some sort of incredibly strong and resistant material that isn't from Earth.
@Harrison La time traveler
Yeah, You can be right or some kind of "field", force field of some kind which is generated around the object for protection.
6 miles/s = 21,600 miles/h
These objects can get to any point on the planet in less than 60 minutes. That is truly amazing.
Another thing is what type of propulsion they use to move that fast. None jet engine will push air craft that fast horizontally inside dense atmosphere.
@Donald Clark
I have seen a UFO. A real UFO back in 2006. It was classic UFO not drone or balloon or helicopter.

ohhh I miss our glorious Concorde, she was so beautiful.
It wasn't really glorious was it. For every one hour of flight it needed 20 hours of servicing. That's was never going to last and it didn't.

Hmm that's strange, two other TH-camrs I watched said their VPN's were the fastest & No.1 in the world too.. 🤔

It's almost as if those claims are unregulated and impossible to prove
@@thetman0068 Just unspecific. They can have the fastest server in Germany that allows the EU nations to have the closest and fastest connection to that server, but its slower in say Australia. Still "No. 1 in the world" for fastest VPN in Europe hahaha. The power of marketing.
It's 2019 and I'm sick of hearing that it doesn't make any sense anymore to have a supersonic jet in service. I'd love to fly in one!
Apparently the ticket cost was FRIKKIN hugely insane. You had to be a rock star or bank robber to afford a ride in that thing.
It depends on who you ask. A leftist ecofascist anti-American POS will tell you, you shouldn't fly at all. Instead you should stay home, reduce your "carbon footprint", eat soy and wait to be sterilized. If you ask a normal person on the side of those who want to continue civilization, of course we need fast planes that zip from A to B in record time.
It true it doesn’t! On launch running cost was $6 million a year, 2003 was about $23 million a year and today they predict it be $63 million or over $100 million a year (getting numbers from memory of a video I watched about it)
@@statinskill what the fuck are you on about
@@vurpo7080 He's right... stop watching CNN and wake up!
Actually impressed about how easily it turned out to be an ExpressVPN Ad.
I do really appreciate the effort here
Very interesting. One remark tough. 4:25 white paint does not radiate more heat than other colours, it absorbs less heat from the sun than other colours and thus reduces temperature on the surface. Black colour radiates the most, but also absorbs the most heat. That is why at the refrigerator the heat sink is painted black but it is put in shadow behind the apparatus. This way it can dissipate as much heat as possible. Keep up the good work!
To me, it’s just not a Pepsi commercial unless Michael Jackson’s hair is on fire.
Well, a Concorde did catch on fire in 2000. So you might be on to something. Lol.
@@grahamefreestone5309 Unfortunately, that one crashed and killed all aboard plus four on the ground.
We only laugh because it IS horrible.
Bit of a bad rep really . One crash in all those years , and the cause was a flight before it losing if I remember right a piece of metal engine casing that bust the concords tyre . Other than that it had a perfect flight record . Shame she's grounded .
@@YdnarLah37 laughing at the ad ( Pepsi) ? Surely not the crash ?

It's "segue." Segway is a trade name for a two-wheeled motorized thingy.
My dad worked on Concorde - so proud every time I see this beautiful plane. I saw a Concorde parked by a hangar from one of my flights to Tokyo - seriously brought a tear to my eye. Bravo dad and all of the amazing people who created the most beautiful plane ever!!!!

That was a smooth transition into the Express VPN ad, well done and great video :)
Astronauts: We're out of food!
Pepesi: Hold my Can
Imagine paying to film a can in space for an ad but changing the fucking design before the ad can even be aired
A bit of additional information, the SR-71 was intentionally allowed to leak on the runway, instead of it being accidental. The parts were made so that when heated through atmospheric friction they would come into final dimensions, bypassing the need for seals that would work across a wide range of temperatures and mechanical loads.
The plane when taking off would have a minimum ammount of fuel loaded into it's tanks, relying on in flight refueling to fill it's tanks before operations.
The JP-7 fuel is as well intentionally non flammable, due to a required high flash point and high thermal stability necessitated by the impracticality of completely thermally insulating the tanks.
We discussed this issue only a few days ago, standing next to Alpha Fox', at a Concorde event at Aerospace Bristol.
I also mentioned that Air France had done another colour scheme on one of their Concordes, which didn't actually fly. They painted it pink and called it, 'L'Avion Rose.'
Well done for turning am interesting point into an express VPN advert without even pausing!
Sneaker ! - Great documentary ! -Then - Advert sneaked in at the end - Faster than the speed of light !
They rebranded to a mostly blue can, so they needed a big canpaign . . .
Take my like and get out.
@@dionysusnu3881 ha! I like that
Concorde could supercruise at more than the speed of sound without afterburners. It was more advanced than all military aircraft at the time and most today. No military jet could catch it from the ground. Amazing. Would love to see it updated with today's engines and materials.
I believe the english electric lightning was able to keep pace with it for a short period of time but it was the only one
Thanks for sharing. I wasn't even aware this took place.
Wow, the transition into the add by 6 min was so smooth I didn't even notice we in the add.
The concorde had problems way before this
2:48 "This ad cost Pepsi another 5 million dollars but once the ad was finished, Pepsi had changed the design of their can and the ad was never aired"
Seriously??? So basically a group of highly-paid managers decides to spend 5 million dollars on an ad in space, also decides to change the design of their cans, but fails to see that MAYBE one should be done before the other?

Did they wake up one morning, saw a Dilbert cartoon, and decided to bring it to life as a joke?

Man, there are much easier ways to waste 5 million dollars!
Google "Cola Wars". This was during a period when Pepsi and Coke had broken even in sales and were at each other's throats over market share. They spent a lot more money on ads and merchandise and wacky attention-getting events than they do today.
If it was me I would of still aired it as might help even if can changed
Now that was a nice transition into the ad of the VPN I like that
Imagine a blue sky with a blue plane.
Hey um... So why was blue paint bad?
Watch the video
when u cant reflect heat as fast cos its blue which absorbs heat not white which reflects
I PREFER PEPSI BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A WASTE OF MONEY.
I VEHEMENTLY AGREE, BUT I GREATLY ADMIRE THE EFFORT!! ITS NOT JUST SOME BORING ASS TV COMMERCIAL!!! A SHAME THOUGH THAT THEY NEVER AIRED THEIR SPACE COMMERCIAL!! WHAT A SHAME! BUT THEN AGAIN BETTER THAT SPACE DIDN'T BECOME SOME advertising CIRCUS!!!
Gotta rememeber this was way before there was internet or even cell phones. Everyone watched only a hand full of cable channels. So advertising back then it was a big deal to capture the worlds attention doing something extreme.
I like Dr Pepper..
For advertisement... Absolutely, for corporate travels, completely not.
WHY ARE WE TALKING IN CAPS
I hate advertisements ,but this is a fair concept, you advertise your VPN or whatever and still its interesting to watch

It caused a problem because high speed = high heat hence why they used a special white paint. Kudos for turning a YT short amount of content into a 6 min video.
man it looks beautiful like that, i wish concordes were still flying they are such good looking planes
I think it was a plane well ahead of its time. Unfortunately, as nice as it would be to fly fast, the drawbacks are probably not worth it.
Dude! Is that the Bepis Plane?
At 5:52 the video is pretty much over and he added an ad in the video to sell it lol
No matter what, I think that that paint job was awesome, and the celebration too.
Actually, dark paint dissipates heat better, because it radiates more. BUT it also heats more under the Sun. Which would not make difference while flying at night, though.
I suspect the reason it was overheating was because the paint was not smooth enough.

Also me: DAFUQ

The transition to the paid promotion was smooth ❣️
Smoothest transition to an ad I've ever seen.
I am always amazed when I hear stories like this, showing how much money these two companies (Pepsi and Coca Cola) have. And all they do is sell flavoured sugary drinks. It boggles my mind that doing something so utterly useless and ridiculous can make you a fortune. Also just imagine all those executives at these companies, all the marketing people etc. They are obviously intelligent people and make good money. I just don't get it how they find the motivation to do their job, when it's so ridiculous like selling these products. With their skills they could surely find other companies that are actually interesting, and they could feel good about what they have done at the end of each day.
It's all about the money no one care what you sell as long as it make huge profit
@@jeedoo I get the money part. But I also think people in general like to feel that their work is useful, and in some way adds value to the world. Or maybe it's just me who thinks like that?
Don't let this distract you from the fact that *PEPSI* promotes *Tserie!*
Nobody cares
I don't think I've ever seen a smoother ad plug ever
I knew one of the guys who designed the paint for Concorde. He was someone who could actually make drying paint intresting.
