Anyone have information on the following aircraft regs: VP--BGN, VP-BKZ, VP-CBX and VP-BDJ?
On takeoff roll a piece of metal pierced one of Concordes tires resulting in instant shredding of the tire. An unfortunate piece of tire created a whole in the aircrafts left wing fuel tank causing fuel to spew everywhere, including around and into the engine. By the time Concorde had taken off the left engine was useless and continued to burn, as Concorde has a very high climb speed she was not able to maintain V2 ( the minimum climb speed) and stalled out of the sky.Do Fighter Jets ( like F-18/F-16) have A/C in their cokpit?
saw a video of it. a large piece of metal was on the runway and hell broke loose. all the news media carried it. you can find the video if you look a little.should i be an aeronautical engineer or a pilot?
It hit a piece of debris on the runway,the debris hit the fanblades in the engine. It tore up the engine so bad it lost thrust and fell out of the sky.info on maxim Gorky air plane?
There was a piece of debris on the runway, and when the planes' tire ran over it, the tire shot it up thru the wing, puncturing the fuel tank inside, and exploding.Who believes that concorde should be brought back?
A piece of metal got kicked into the engine and things went badThe lord of flying decided that the Concorde had been accident free long enough and since it never made a profit, made sure they would cancel the project by having one crash and burn in front of the CNN cameras.
has co pilot james polehinke made a sttement regarding the crash?

As far as I know, a part that was made from the wrong material spec from a previous plane that had taken off, was left on the runway, and then rest is history with a loss of people's lives. ;o(
The aircraft ran over a metal strip which had broken off another aircraft, this caused the tire to blow out. The disintegrating tire threw pieces through the bottom of the wing tank. The fuel poured out through the very large hole and was lit by the afterburners on the engines. The resulting fire destroyed the wing structure which resulted in loss of control and the aircraft crashed just short of the old Paris airport.
How tall are the Wheels on a 747 Jumbo Jet?
After earlier incidents of tire failure BA had stopped using retreads, Air France still were. That may or may not have contributed to the loss.
