Question:
Concordes only disaster that marked the beginning of the end in 2000 was investigated by BEA the french investigation organistion. British authorities had limited access to the investigation, nobody in the french airport was allowed to say anything. Also eye witness accounts from three firemen on the ground (the closest to the aircraft) reported flames from the plane near the start of the runway, hundreds of metres before the infamous 'strip of metal' that was supposed to cause the crash. Also the runway was quickly resurfaced, as it was in poor shape and believed, by some, to be the cause of the accident.

Why doesn't Cessna bring back the 150 & 152?
I don't know where you're getting your conspiracy theories from, but let me set some of your false accusations straight.What are the required documents and endorsements for solo -cross country?
Firstly, the French BEA called in the British AAIB and BAe aswell as Airbus in the investigation of the crash. Why? Well, because they needed as much information on the Concorde's record as possible and used statistics from BA's fleet also to try and elimate possible causes for the accident.
types of aircrafts used after the second world war?
There was never a blanket ban on staff at the airport. Air France asked their staff not to say anything about the crash until the families of the deceased were informed. That is a usual protocol at all major airlines in the event of an airplane crash. But controllers and firefighters alike where all interviewed in the aftermath of the accident, both in the press and by the investigative team.
hi everybody..where i can find free 747-400 & Airbus 320 3d model?
And if the surface was in bad condition, then what do you suppose caused the engine fire? Let me guess....some tarmac got sucked up into the compressors? Highly unlikely.
documents checked by ground staff and cabin crew of unaccompanied minor?
One question for you.....what do you think caused the accident, and who was to gain from a cover-up?
Who was on board the Spruce Goose the one time it flew?
Has it taken you seven years to think this one up?At what height from Earth do Aeroplanes generally fly?
Well considering it was an engine fire, and the mains were directly under the fuselage, behind the intakes, that's some interesting physics you describe. For a piece of tire/wheel to fly off move forward, then just happen to be in the intake envelope of the engine. A nose wheel failure could be possibly be sucked in, but only on rotation/climb out.Finally, if resurfacing was the issue, why did Airbus 340's/747's/767's all heavier or at least the same GW as Concorde not rip up the runway beforehand?
When does an aircraft use more fuel, during take-off or during landing?
Hey Wave.....whats that bollocks about nearly hitting the Jumbo....piss offI thought they had already stated it was either FOD or a part of the tire that punctured a fuel tank, which caused the fire? I don't think this crash had the direct effect of grounding the Concorde. OH for a short time, but the writing was on the wall before the crash.........
What is the website that shows all current airplanes in the sky.?
I don't know the details, but I did see a documentary on the Concorde crash that showed a "different" cause, and it was very interesting. It talked about about all sorts of problems with the flight even before the supposed FOD on the runway (including veering to the left side of the runway). It was fascinating, but I'm not sure where the data for the show came from. Does anyone else recall seeing that program?i need help in flying questions?
I remember seeing a documentary in which they talked specifically about the problem that concorde has always had with its tires. Most passenger jets have a take off speed around 140 knots (kts.) And so, that is the range for which their tires are designed. The concorde, on the other hand, has a take off speed of aroung 240 kts. According to this documentary, allthough the concorde's TOS was about 100 kts greater, they never used any special tires. Apperantly, they just used the 140 kts rated tires and were suppossed to have them changed more often! If this is the case, it seems to me that the airlines were just inviting catastrophe, metal strip or no!is a ultralight glider classified as a glider or a plane (license or no license)?
Here is a pointer for all of you who answered this question as well as the (un)learned person who asked it: put tupolev tu144 into your search engine - interesting tale involving the Russian 'Concordski' & the Air France disaster.N.B. This does not involve irradiated Russian spies, or Zillionaire Russian Football club owners who have more money than sense! Oops, silly me, now the wrong category! Over to the Soapbox questions....
WHAT RUNWAY IS THE SHORTEST IN THE WORLD ?!i!?
STOP PRESS: as mentioned, check out tsr2 on search engine - fantastic aircraft - 2 airframes survive - Supersonic on just ONE engine, on test left lightning chase aircraft for dust! Now thats RESPECT!
Top Marks for Da Professor!
if 2 aircraft, flying together, break the sound barrier, would they each hear the others sonic boom?
Many of the conspiracy theories about the Concorde crash revolve around the maintenance that was carried out on one of the ill fated planes thrust reversers shortly before it crashed.
Any one know about beechcraft v-tailed bonanza?
The pilot had reported that a TR was sticking and asked for it to be replaced. Initial reports following the crash blamed a closed thrust reverser for causing an explosion but were quickly silenced.
Name of fictional aircrafts used in movie "stealth"?
As for the French authorities ability to cover up - read and learn from the Tu-144 concordski crash as Da Professor says.
I need help to look up ofr schedule for moncton codicatransit?
P.S. For 'Stu Kate'... interestingly enough the Rolls Royce Olympus engines that powered Concorde originated on the Avro Vulcan V Bomber and evolved through the TSR-2 (man what if that baby hadn't been scrapped) to the version flown on the Concorde. The naval version still operates as well on ships like the QE2!
what is the best airline when going to the US?
The Concorde's engines where afterburning supercruise engines developed for the British TSR-2 before it got canned. Most afterburning engines have a visible flame from the exhaust as extra fuel is burnt directly in the exhaust duct.Was the "Hawaii Clipper" ever found? Was it ever discovered why it vanished?
Why not try to get a copy of the official report of the investigations and its conclusions as to why the concorde crash. Then try to study it , find loopholes in the investigations then make necessary recommendation. The problem is where you gonna submit your comments to address your concerns. Maybe it will be helpful to disscuss it in class that takes forensic science, criminology,aeronautics since it is educational.I doubt cover ups as they usually grasp at the thinnest of straws for evidence like this proposed cover up. The Concorde was on it's way out when the accident occurred. the accident only sped up the inevitable. The planes never made any money and that is after all the point of a business to make money that which doesn't make money gets the Axe.
