On: The Revival of Concorde

[idlewords]

For anyone with a few hours to spare geeking out about Concorde, I recommend this thread:

http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/423988-concorde-question.html

It starts off slow with a technical question, but gradually pulls in some of the plane's designers (and even a flight attendant) discussing every aspect of the plane's design and operation. One of the most amazing aviation threads on the Internet.

It was fascinating to see the prototype drawings on the wing designs on this thread, plus many other design aspects of the Concorde. Thanks for sharing.

This is totally fascinating. This is one of those pure examples of how great the internet can be. Thanks for sharing.

I just "lost" a few hours reading that thread. Thanks!
