Concorde from Wikipedia -
Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde is a retired turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner or supersonic transport (SST). It is one of only two SSTs to have entered commercial service; the other was the Tupolev Tu-144. Concorde was jointly developed and produced by Aérospatiale and the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) under an Anglo-French treaty. First flown in 1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and continued commercial flights for 27 years.
Among other destinations, Concorde flew regular transatlantic flights from London Heathrow and Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport to New York JFK and Washington Dulles; it profitably flew these routes in less than half the time of other airliners. With only 20 aircraft built, the development of Concorde was a substantial economic loss; Air France and British Airways also received considerable government subsidies to purchase them. Concorde was retired in 2003 due to a general downturn in the aviation industry after the type's only crash in 2000, the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001 and a decision by Airbus, the successor firm of Aerospatiale and BAC, to discontinue maintenance support.
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.
This plane was very special - so special that even in flight simulation pilots have to plan and fly very different to other non supersonic flights. For those of you who are interested in operating this plane Pierre Chassang, who is a member of Air-Child from the beginning, designed a flight bag with special documents and small applications which will help you to plan and operate a supersonic flight.
With Pierre´s Concorde Performance System for FlightSimLabs Concorde X. You have to build a route with any flight planner and add it to this software to calculate all what is needed to fly the Concorde. Download: password: Unicef
If you want to know more about the Concorde Performance System please see This blog is in french and english language. If you still have questions please contact Pierre or ask in the forum. Pierre will help you with his knowledge about operating the Concorde in transatlantic supersonic flights.
