The Concorde suffered only one "hull loss" in its 27 years of commercial passenger service which is three decades of service with no deaths.
However there were only 14 built and so after one crash it had an 11.36% fatal crash per million departures rate, the worst rate of any aircraft in the modern air industry.
When taking off and then when jumping to supersonic speeds, the Concorde used afterburners to give it a kick. In this cool video a concorde was filmed departing late and the afterburners are visible in the twilight.
Lego Concorde is finally finished. That was so much fun. It is hard to take it a photograph, it so large. It is so well designed and the instructions are pretty straight forward. If you have ever wondered about getting a #Lego set then go for it. You will have a lot of fun.
The #Lego#Concorde is making great progress. I am done for the day now. I will save up the finish for next weekend. I think I will leave it with the seats on view.
Wirtschaftlich war die Concorde kein Erfolg, und noch immer sitzt der Schock nach der Katastrophe im Jahr 2000 tief. Die Faszination am Überschall aber ist geblieben. Die NASA will ihr neues Projekt vorstellen.

This sounds really cool, but I fear it will be inaccessible to everyone but the wealthy, just like the #Concorde was. And even with a #plane full of high-rollers, the Concorde wasn't economically feasible, which is a big part of the reason why it ultimately failed. ✈️
