Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde

83.1k Annedzsrue  4.9 years ago

The Concorde was a joint French-British supersonic plane project designed in the early 60’s with copetition coming from the Soviet Union and America. Both America and the Soviet Union flopped whilst the Concorde flew for the next 27 years from 1974 to 2003, having the last service terminated from New York to London. Mainly because of the fuel inefficiency, route overland restrictions and disastrous events such as the Air France Crash in 2000 and the 9/11 in 2003 which hampered ridership. This plane features a British Airways livery and a nose droop.

Controls are
(1+vtol for nose droop)
(5 for enhanced pitch control [to be used when landing])
(8+vtol for gears [its inverted so down is retract and level is extend])
