RE: Photo Story: Onboard the Concorde in Scotland

in #photography7 years ago

That is awesome. What an amazing experience that would have been. I have read that the plane heats up due to the speed and that one of the main engineering problems they had to overcome was the metal fatigue on the plane caused by the frequent heating up and cooling down of the planes outer shell.
The Concorde would cruise at 60,000ft so you flew twice as high as conventional airliners as well :) I envy you.

Sort:  

I didn't remember about the altitude but 60,000 is way up there. I have also been on a Gulfstream G5 and I know they fly higher around 50,000 and the ride is smoother up there.

Wow! Concorde and a Gulfstream? nice.
