Concorde Flight 4590: Final Moments Before Crash The Concorde, loaded with fuel for the trans-Atlantic flight, went down shortly after takeoff, crashing near the town of Gonesse, about 10 miles north of Paris, at 4:44 p.m. local time. All 109 people on board were killed. Three children were among the passengers. Four people in a local hotel on died, with a dozen people on the ground injured. A French judge ordered Continental Airlines and five people to stand trial for manslaughter in connection with the horrific crash of a Concorde jet that killed 113 people eight years ago in France, a prosecutor said July 2008. Two of the people to be tried are employees of Continental, the prosecutor in the Paris suburb of Pontoise said in a statement. Two others were employed by Aerospatiale, the maker of Concorde and the precursor of plane-maker Airbus. The fifth is an employee of the French civilian aviation authority. The No2 main gear wheel tyre is missing after the explosive burst and that un-burnt fuel is flowing from the ruptured tank. A few feet from the tank around the engine area the fuel appears to be being ignited from the fuel that is already burning. The initial cause of the ignition is believed to be from sparks derived from shorted wiring in the landing gear bay area. French investigators blamed a titanium strip on the runway from a Continental Airlines DC-10, which took off just before the luxury jet. John Taylor, a mechanic who allegedly fitted the non-standard strip is to stand trial for manslaughter. The titanium strip caused one of the Concorde's tires to burst, which sent debris flying into its fuel tanks. Continental's chief of maintenance Stanley Ford will also stand trial for manslaughter. The French judicial inquiry also determined the tanks lacked sufficient protection from shock and that Concorde's makers had been aware of the problem since 1979. Former Concorde officials Henri Perrier, 79, and Jacques Herubel, 73, are accused of knowing about problems with the jets and failing to detect and fix them. Claude Frantzen, 71, director of technical services at the civil aviation authority DGAC from 1970 to 1994, was also ordered to stand trial. A special thanks to Youtube channel tgj1992 for this detailed description of events On 25 July 2000. Previous to Concorde taking off that fateful day was a continental dc-10 headed for Washington. It was a metal strip from inside one of its engines that was to trigger the catastrophically unfortunate series of events. As Concorde was reaching take off speed it hit this metal strip puncturing the tyre of wheel number two on the port landing assembly. Pieces of rubber then began to ricochet of the undercarriage, soon piercing fuel tank cover 5. A major leak ensues and it is concluded that the kerosene is ignited due to the extreme heat experienced around the wheel assembly. Engines one and two are severely affected by the hot gases emanating from the burning kerosene which are continually being ingested, and they rapidly lose power. The plane is enveloped in flames and sufficient control is lost. The plane crashes and All 109 people on board are killed. Once a conclusion has been reached as to the cause of the incident, appropriate modifications are added such as stronger tyre's which are able to withstand piercing objects at take off speed and in the unlikely occurrence that one does get punctured kevlar sheilds are added to the lining of the fuel tank covers.

Concorde - a very personal account PLEASE RATE THIS VIDEO IF YOU WATCH IT! On Thursday 23rd October my Wife and I flew on Concorde (She wasn't my wife then, we were engaged the previous day, hence the "ring moment"); this short video tries to capture some of the emotions involved but does a pretty terrible job to be honest! The three hour flight took place the day before Concorde was retired forever and emotions were running high. I was lucky enough to win these seats in a comp, I should say I was incredibly lucky to win these seats in a comp, had they been for sale, they would have been priceless! This short journey remains one of the highlights of my life so far... Be sure to check out - The airport staff waving goodbye The speed at rotation and the time it took to get it there The fear on my wife's face! How Concorde leaves the other plane standing The size of the clouds when you're flying at 60,000 feet The colour of the midday sky, you're right on the edge of space! The cheesy end, I clearly couldn't resist! Tags: Concorde flight airplane plane take off landing supersonic |

CAN AKIN - PARIS - NEW YORK CONCORDE Dünyada sesten hızlı uçakla uçan ilk insan, İkinci Dünya Savaşı pilotlarından Charles Yeager'di. Concorde'un yapımına giden yolda ilk fikir, 1956 yılında ortaya çıktı ve bu amaçla ilk olarak, İngiltere'de Sesten Hızlı Uçak Komitesi adıyla bir komite kuruldu. Fransa da 1962 yılında aynı yönde bir proje üzerinde çalışmaya başladı. Sonuçta iki ülke, Concorde projesinin İngiliz-Fransız ortak yapımı olarak gerçekleştirilmesi konusunda anlaştı. ABD, 1965 yılında Başkan Lyndon B. Johnson'ın ağzından "kendi sesten hızlı yolcu uçağını geliştireceğini" açıkladıysa da Başkan Richard Nixon, 1971 yılında imzaladığı bir kararla bu projeyi tarihe gömdü. Concorde uçağı, ilk uçuş denemesini 2 Mart 1969'da Fransa'nın Toulouse kentinde yaptı. Concorde'un ilk ticari uçuşu ise Londra-Bahreyn arasında gerçekleşti. Fransız Concorde'unun ilk uçuşu da Paris-Dakar arasında yapıldı. Air France, 1977 yılından itibaren Paris-New York arasında sesten hızlı uçaklarla yolcu taşımaya başladı. Concorde uçakları, normal uçuşlarında saatte 2 bin 172 kilometre hıza erişiyor ve yerden 18 bin 200 metre yüksekten uçuyordu. Uçaklar, Atlantik'i normal koşullarda 3 saatte aşabiliyordu. Başlıca amacı hız yapmak olan Concorde uçaklarının dış yüzeyi, çok hafif ve ısıya dayanıklı titanyum maddesinden üretildi. Uçuş sırasında sürtünme nedeniyle uçağın dış cephesindeki ısı 92, burun kısmındaki ısı ise 130 dereceye çıkıyordu. Isınma nedeniyle uçağın boyunun uçuş sırasında 7.5 santim uzadığı saptandı. Dev yolcu uçakları 200 yolcuyu rahatlıkla taşırken, dar gövdeli Concorde'un yolcu kapasitesi 125 kişiydi. Yolcuların büyük çoğunluğunu zengin ve ünlüler oluşturuyordu, çünkü Concorde'un New York-Paris arasında tek gidiş için bilet fiyatı 12 bin doları buluyordu. 30 yıllık macerası boyunca toplam 16 Concorde uçağı üretildi. Bunların tanesinin maliyeti 42 milyon dolardı. Concorde Uçağı Sesüstü olarak tasarlanmıştır. 25 Temmuz 2000 tarihinde Paris Charles de Gaulle Havaalanı'ndan kalkışından 1,5 dk sonra geçirdiği kaza ile uçuşları durdurulmuştur. Güvenilirliği, yüksek maliyeti ve sınırlı yolcu kapasitesi olduğu için üretimden kaldırılmıştır.Concorde uçaklarının son ticari seferi, 24 Ekim 2003'te Londra-NewYork arasında yapıldı.
