i will like to know whether concord aircraft is still operating and what is it speed per hour?

Question

jst want to know about concord air craft

Answer 1

No : 760mph

Answer 2

Concorde is no longer flying. The cost of operating Concorde was insane due to the amount of fuel burned. It was never a profitable airplane for British Airways or Air France, despite the ultra-expensive ticket price. It was noisy, small inside and had no room for cargo (which many international carriers rely on for profit)

It will always be an impressive machine and I wish I had a chance to fly on it. Usual cruise speed was around Mach 1.5 (1250 mph) to Mach 2 (1700 mph) at 60,000 ft. Your average airliner travels at .80 Mach at 35000 ft.

Only one Concorde crashed in nearly 30 years.

Answer 3

Concorde was designed by a French-British consortium in the late 1960s. The US also had Supersonic Transports (SST) in the mockup stages, primarily Boeing, but a cost-benefit analysis convinced American manufacturers to end the program(s). For prestige reasons primarily, the Europeans went ahead with theirs. When it started flying, many countries worldwide refused to let them fly supersonic over their territory (fear of environmental impacts of sonic booms). Eventually, only British Airways, and Air France flew them. Operating costs were huge, and the aircraft could never carry enough passengers to be profitable. The escalating costs (they were flying basically NY/Paris, NY/London by the early 90s) and the crash of one, essentially killed them.
In retrospect the Concorde was built for a time in travel that had passed by 1975 or so. This was travel for the elite "Jet Set" who had cash, and wanted the prestige of flying by SST. However, the future in air travel, was mass travel, exemplified by the 747 series. As others have mentioned in this context, the lack of a cargo capability also reduced their usefulness.
A typical mission profile was, takeoff and reach cruise altitude subsonic,say .8 Mach or so. Once at altitude, and overwater, the aircraft would slowly accelerate to 1.5/2.0 Mach at 40,000 ft. Then approaching land again, slowing down to subsonic and starting descent.
Typical enroute times were 3 hours from NY to London.

Answer 4

Concorde has been decommissioned, Concorde used to fly at twice the speed of sound. besides Heathrow, there is also one at Filton Air field in Bristol where parts of of the plane were made, a museum will be opening shortly there. It was only designed to fly for 10years but flew for approx 30.

Answer 5

No longer in operation due to huge expenses that were never really recovered.

Extremely cool aircraft, no other commercial aircraft cruised at such a high speed. A true gem of British engineering. Probably very few Lucas components on it ; )

I have no hard data, but if you checked, it probably had a better safety record than many other commercial aircraft that are still in service.

Answer 6

Concorde is no longer flying unfortunately, it flew at Mach 2 I think (speed in metres per second or miles per hour or indeed any unit will depend on the altitude and conditions when it was flying).

Answer 7

maximum nautical charts are in levels, minutes and seconds. A nautical mile is exactly comparable to one minute of variety. ----- traditionally while accuracy replaced into no longer that significant a nuatical mile replaced into seen abou 6000 ft. That made a 2d equivalent to 10' . Such approximations weren't significant by using fact such small distances have been of little result for ships and airplane. a international nautical miles is understand 6076'. ========= while the metric equipment replaced into prepare interior the 18th century if that they had defined a meter as one area in 10,800,000 of the area from the equator to the north pole, then there could be an trouble-free correlation between metric equipment and the nautical equipment (2 km = a million nautical mile). something of the metric relationships could be unchanged. regrettably, the French had to maintain the ability of 10 to this very final length, and that they lost of venture to make an trouble-free correlation to the dominant international equipment.

Answer 8

No. it is no longer in service.

As to the speed, well at present it is doing 'Zero' mph (that is of course, Earth relative speed). And, when it was flying, that speed was totally dependant on just how fast it was going when it was flying!

ps: Do not take any notice of the 'poor safety record' comment as given by ''Assasin.'' He's just doing his job.

Answer 9

There is also a decommissioned Concorde at Manchester airport, you can book a tour on it from £12 or even get married on it! - see http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/web.nsf/Content/concorde

Answer 10

it may have only been designerd to last 10 years but as it didnt do as many hours in the sky as youre average 747 it was able to stay in service for muuch longer. its top speed was mach 2 which is twice the speed of sound or arount 1200 mph at its cruising altitude as far as i know

Answer 11

Concord no longer flies.

It travelled at around 1200mph
