Concorde now has a very outdated cockpit with gauge displays


Great tool for businessmen who could commute from London to New York in a record 2hrs 53mins. Records include the official FAI " Westbound Around the World" and " Eastbound Around the World" world air speed records.

Concorde flights are particularly comfortable since there is no atmospheric turbulence at the very high altitudes.

Another problem with the plane was noise pollution. The shock wave of the plane forcing the air apart w

Concorde’s pollution wasn’t as harmful as the media stated
We are a richer world and hence flying on Concorde is more applicable
Tickets can cost thousands of pounds resulting in a small clientele

The plane itself would climb to an altitude of 60,000 feet, nearly 20,000 feet higher than normal airplanes, putting the plane very close to the ozone layer. The engine structure f
