Book excerpt: "The visionary concept of an aircraft that could carry one hundred passengers at twice the speed of sound across the Atlantic emerged about halfway through the first century of powered flight. How this dream became an aeronautical reality and a success in airline service is covered in this conference to coincide with the 40th anniversary of that first take-off. Based on their personal experience, invited speakers will look at a range of subjects including, amongst others, the role of the Supersonic Transport Aircraft Committee, design concepts, airworthiness and flight test as well as the politics and economics of airline operations and describe in-service engineering and cabin service as well as what it was like to fly this iconic aircraft in commercial service. The day will end with an evening lecture by David MacDonald, former Flight Engineer Superintendent and Capt Dave Leney, former Concorde Pilot and Flight Manager who were closely involved with Concorde's entry into service. The lecture will cover some of the in-service technical milestones. As we entered the second century of powered flight, Concorde had been and gone from our skies. There is still no other aircraft in the world that can do what Concorde did. If you were part of the Concorde adventure, flew as a passenger on the aircraft or just delighted in seeing her fly, this conference will be of interest to you."--Welcome screen.

Book excerpt: This is the story of one of the most distinctive aircraft of its time, known simply as Concorde. This iconic supersonic airliner made its mark in the field of commercial air transport and was the result of a remarkable collaboration between the governments and aviation industries of Britain and France. It charts how the aircraft was taken from the early drawing board ideas after World War II to the prototype versions built at the production lines of Filton and Toulouse. Concorde went on to have its maiden flight in British prototype 002 in April 1969 which was followed by the French prototype 001 in October 1969 reaching Mach 1.5 speeds. Concorde had all the makings of a game-changing new way of flying but noise pollution and expensive running costs made airlines tear-up their cheque books with a stream of cancelled orders. It was left up to Britain (British Airways) and the French (Air France) to pick up the pieces and try to make Mach 2 air travel a success. After a tough period during the seventies, the fuel crisis being one, Concorde eventually started to make a profit in the eighties for BA. Air France was not quite as successful but still had plenty of people willing to fly above the clouds. Things carried on into the nineties with the rich and famous being welcomed on board sipping champagne at 60,000ft. Tragedy was unfortunately around the corner however, when in July 2000 a Concorde bound for New York crashed at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France. This accident grounded the whole fleet for 18-months and was a precursor of what was to come – the retirement of supersonic flights in 2003.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gripping true tale of a devastating plane crash, the investigation into its causes, and the race to prevent similar disasters in the future. On July 25, 2000, a Concorde, the world's fastest passenger plane, was taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris when it suddenly burst into flames. An airliner capable of flying at more than twice the speed of sound, the Concorde had completed 25 years of successful flights, whisking wealthy passengers--from diplomats to rock stars to corporate titans--between continents on brief and glamorous flights. Yet on this fateful day, the chartered Concorde jet, en route to America, crashed and killed all 109 passengers and crew onboard and four people on the ground. Urgent questions immediately arose as investigators scrambled to discover what had gone wrong. What caused the fire? Could it have been prevented? And, most urgently, was the Concorde safe to fly? Last Days of the Concorde addresses these issues and many more, offering a fascinating insider's look at the dramatic disaster, the hunt for clues, and the systemic overhauls that followed the crash.

Download or read book Concorde written by Jonathan Glancey and published by Atlantic Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Concorde, Jonathan Glancey tells the story of this magnificent and hugely popular aircraft anew, taking the reader from the moment Captain Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier in 1947 through to the last commercial flight of the supersonic airliner in 2003. It is a tale of national rivalries, technological leaps, daring prototypes, tightrope politics, and a dream of a Dan Dare future never quite realized. Jonathan Glancey traces the development of Concorde not just through existing material and archives, but through interviews with those who lived with the supersonic project from its inception. The result is a compelling mix of overt technological optimism, a belief that Britain and France were major players in the world of civil as well as military aviation, and faith in an ever faster, ever more sophisticated future. This is a celebration, as well as a thoroughly researched history, of a truly brilliant machine that became a sky god of its era.

Culture evangelist, Daniel Strode, with the help of some of the world's historically most inspiring and innovative businesses like The Walt Disney Company and The LEGO Group, as well as newer companies like Art Blocks from the Web 3.0 and blockchain space, breaks down the innovation puzzle. Through evaluating your business model; daring to chip away at it; empowering your people through technologies; psychological safety and leadership; putting constraints onto their creative efforts; and hiring and collaborating with the right types of innovators, you'll discover how to enhance your adaptability and futureproof your business.
