posted the : 2025-05-07

The Concorde Supersonic Airplaner is a four-sound supersonic passenger aircraft jointly developed in the 1960s by the former British Aircraft Company (now merged into the British Aerospace) and the French Aerospace Corporation.
In 1969, the first Concorde Supersonic passenger plane was born and put into commercial flight on January 21, 1976. The Concord Supersonic Airliner is the only supersonic commercial airliner operated on the route at the stop. Only 20 Concorda aircraft were produced in total.
British Airways and Air France use Concorde supersonic airliners to operate routes across the Atlantic Ocean. By 2003, there were still 12 Concorda supersonic airliners in commercial flights. On October 24, 2003, the Concorde Supersonic airliners carried out their last flight and were all decommissioned.
There are four turbojet engines in the Concord Supersonic aircraft. The engine is developed by the British company Rolls-Royce and the French State Aviation Engine Company (Rolls-Royce / SNECMA). The engine model is "Olympus" 593Mk610 turbojet engine (Olympus 593). Single thrust 169.32 kN (38,000 1bs). The engine is equipped with a fuel combustion chamber (burner) generally used in supersonic fighters. The flight speed of the Concorde can exceed twice the speed of sound, with a maximum flight speed of Mach 2.04, a cruising altitude of 18,000 meters, and a cruising speed of 2.150 kilometers per hour.
The Concord supersonic airliner was a product of the 1970s, but its electronic equipment was still relatively advanced. In particular, in terms of automatic flight, the Concorde can achieve automatic descent and take-off at the mountain level, that is, the Concorde can take off and land automatically in full accordance with procedures and instructions without pilot control.
