Initials sales were down on projected estimates because some city's denied landing rights including some in the states -main reason because the USA was green with envy because they were beaten to the worlds fastest commercial supersonic airliner by the good old UK !

can sombody tell me the past of LOW COST AIRLINES?

If I remember correctly, the concord was prohibited from traveling at supersonic speeds over residential areas. I think they were limited to landing at Washington DC and New York. It has been quite a while ago. The Concord was much too costly to operate. It never made a profit, even at the exorbitant cost of tickets. The U.S. developed a similar plane called the SST. They abandoned it because of the high cost of operations. It was felt that it wasn't economically viable for commercial use. Apparently, they were correct.

Airplane Takeoff?

Yes it was banned because they were producing sound waves that harmed the ears of people on the ground .

if two pilots flying in the same aircraft approched the speed of sound then passed could they hear each other

The Concorde was severeley ristricted in the routes it could fly. For example in the US, no East/West Coast flights because of Sonic Booms. BA and Air France could only cross Atlantic to NY and Washington, no further inland. Flights into/out of Washington had to be complete before 10pm- noise restriction. European routs were similarly restricted because of Sonic Booms. Many overflight rights were denied out right or limited by hours and these restrictions were in the early days of Concorde and kept the high-speed of the plane from becoming a practical advantage in actual operations. Notice only the national airlines of the 2 countires that built Concorde ever bought it.

Concordes are not banned.Still some airlines such as British Airways use them. But know the airlines doesn't use them because there was an explosion in concorde before many years and many people died. And also it makes lot of sound.
