You really have to admire Trevor’s commitment to this series… going out and actually researching facts about the aircraft he’s showcasing for the episode. It’s commendable.

One of the coolest things about the Concorde flying from Europe to North America was that it would "arrive" before it left time-wise. The plane flew faster than the Earth rotates.

Actually, Concorde is the safest planes in the world. 31 years of service and only one fatal crash, literally not caused by the plane itself. What got it decommissioned was noise complaints and the amount of fuel it burnt at subsonic speeds. At supersonic speeds it was extremely efficient. It was just too expensive to taxi and fly over terrain after noise restrictions were put in effect.

Amazing video. So my uncle used to work for Air France for the longest time. He was one of the designers of the Concorde. Used to work joint with the UK and frequently fly back and forth. My dad got to go on it with my uncle and said leg room was non existent. Amazing plane.

I remember flying the Concorde to England in the 1990s. First taking off I felt immense pressure but 15 minutes through the skies I felt better afterwards. This is a cool video.

Trevor ignoring the overspeed alarm like a pro!

You gotta do a spitfire dude. Spitfire, flying through big cities, under bridges, landing at St. Mart’s - all of it❤️‍🔥

The wingspan and design always has reminded me of the space shuttle.

This is definitely one of the most iconic aircraft of the 20th century. It's delta wing took over 6 months of wind tunnel testing to perfect. An ingenious triangular shape that allows Concorde to fly beyond Mach 2, but also slow enough to fly into existing airports. Afterburning turbojets were sourced from a Cold War Era bomber, but there were re-engineered with an innovative intake system that allows for cruise at supersonic speed for longer than any other aircraft in history. With a streamlined airframe, Concorde's sleek nose obscured the pilot's view. The solution was a nose cone that lowered to provide better visibility during taxiing, takeoff, and landing. Even though Concorde was an economical failure, it was a engineering success. Such a beautiful plane.

can we appreciate how hard trev grinds these flight sim vids. I bought the f22 in flight sim today and it is soo sick

i love how tmartn gives you all the facts about the airplanes and places he flys by, keep it up tmart, we love u.

I was lucky enough to fly on the concord when I was a kid! Super lucky that my dad was a big aviation buff so every year growing up he took us to the Oshkosh Air Show in Wisconsin which at the time was one of the biggest in the world. Loved it so much! The concord made an appearance a few years if I remember right, but one year my Dad wanted to splurge so for $500 a person we got to take a 45 min ride (ok full transparency, I was young so I don’t remember exactly but it was either 30 45 or 60min round trip ride). We took off from the air show and did a circle up into Canada and break the sound barrier over the Great Lakes! You don’t notice anything while onboard other than the tvs in the cabin display the airspeed and the captain came over the speaker informing us that we were faster the the speed of sound. Pretty awesome!

Trevor:*leaves cockpit for 1 second* Concorde: so you have chosen death

I remember seeing a Concorde behind our Singapore Airlines flight through New York in 1998. I still remember how excited everyone was during the pilot's announcements,. I really miss seeing the Concorde.

At 20:58, they are working on a Supersonic Overture currently at the moment. It can reach up to Mach 1.7, a little under the speed of the Concorde. They hope to conduct their first flight by 2026, and go into service in 2029.

First commercial flight for Concorde was on January 21, 1976. Having said that: F-WTSA (102) first flew on *10 January 1973* from Toulouse. It was the fourth aircraft and the first to have the features and the shape of the future production aircraft. It was the first to fly to the United States (on 20 September 1973 to Dallas, Texas).

2nd - Can we just appreciate Trevor’s jacket 😂

the piece of "schrapnel" was in fact a small engine part in titanium which fell off of an airliner taxiing a few minutes ahead of concorde. this explains why nobody could pick it up.

Me and my grandma watched this video. My grandpa which is now deceased flew on the Concorde in the early 90s from New York to London. Trevor another amazing job on this series!

A Concorde video will always get loads of views. That tech from the 60s/70s was unreal that ran till the 2000s. What a beautiful aircraft. When it went over London people would look up at this machine. Cool vid!

Trevor's becoming a plane dude :) aircraft are absolutely magnificent pieces of machinery.

I was fortunate enough to see one Concorde undergoing maintenance in the British Airways hanger at Heathrow Airport back in October 1999. Have also been inside the test Concorde at RAF Duxford, which was very cool. Plymouth is my home town too, so nice shoutout there. Really impressed by your knowledge Trev. Well done sir.

As a frenchman this plane really talks to me even if i never saw it fly and seeing CDG in one of your episode actually made me really happy because of the number of Times i got there so thank you 👍

I actually flew on the 5th to last flight of the plane. It was insane what the earth and space looked like from our cruising altitude of 57,000 ft mach 2! It truly was a sight!

There's a Concorde aircraft in Heathrow airport in England that's fully intact. Brilliant video I first saw Concorde landing it was either Heathrow or Gatwick airport :)

Well done for making it across the Atlantic, for researching the cool facts about Concorde, and landing her first time! We're working on some updates for Concorde for release soon - the alarms you had were overspeed ( against altitude ) and fuselage temperature exceeding 127 degrees centigrade. Thanks for sharing Concorde with your followers! :)

One of my relatives actually was a pilot on the concorde, he was a pilot for BA, he’s retired now but his son has taken over from him as a pilot too!

Dulles airport 1970 would frequently visit to watch it land (lived locally) -spectacular design that seemed so futuristic in the day-fun to watch both live and reinacted, thanks Trevor

Mentor pilot is one of my favorite KZfaqrs

London- New York isn’t 4 hours😂 it’s about 6-7:30hr

I love this series that you've put together !! its fun light hearted, it's rather informative. Might I suggest making a national parks aviation series !?!

Grew up on Long Island watching the concord fly overhead to land at JFK during the 90s. It was my favorite plane to spot when I was little!

This man has really spent almost $200 in the past 3 videos thanks trev love these videos

Supersonic flight has been in the works again the past couple of years. Look up Boom Supersonic. Supposed to be able to go most places in the world in under 4 hours for 100 dollars a ticket. At least that's what they were marketing when they first revealed it a couple of years ago. Not sure how far along they've come, but it's fascinating nonetheless.

13:08 That moment when you hear the alarms go off and pure terror sets in and you do NOT want history to repeat itself, so you scramble to try and figure out what went wrong... That was excellent!!

They have one on exhibition at Manchester Airport in the UK, I went on a school trip, one of the best experiences ever, the design is even more special close up, and the interior was incredible

I actually think the supersonic boom sound is cool. I wish they would get rid of that regulation. Would be able to travel coast to coast in 2 hours

This was so awesome! And learning the history of that plane made it even better!

that alarm at around 14:00 was the overspeed alarm lol. Have to climb if you want to go faster. less dense air is less stress on the airframe

I love the research and commentary you do for these vids, I get to learn things in a cool way thanks brother

Saw these over sandy hook nj in the late afternoon on the beach. Sounded and looked amazing.

Love the way Trev is researching. Been in a concorde, such an iconic jet

From what I know, Concorde was only just breaking even until it became 'full concorde class' at those premium prices it was making money. it was only after that crash and they all got grounded; it was costing the companies a few million a week to keep them grounded, after a few weeks/months they were just taken out of service due to the high cost of keeping them around.

Loved this and the whole series of these. You flew over my house - and as a Brit I can confirm I bloody love crumpets!

These videos are amazing! Thank you for the commitment

the engines remind me of the darkstar, or the super mach jet from top gun 2, im sure they took inspiration from this plane for those engines! super informative vid today Trev!

Twenty Concorde aircraft were built, six for development and 14 for commercial service. All of these, except two of the production aircraft, are preserved. One aircraft was scrapped in 1994, and another was destroyed in the Air France Flight 4590 crash in 2000.

wow you researched every nook and cranny about the concorde's history. That's very strong commitment

Amazing video, keep them coming

To think it was actually faster than a bullet....

Awesome series and great work Trev on putting a lot of effort into each vid especially for Microsoft Flight Simulator!!!.

I remember when it was a spectical so large here in Las Vegas, that traffic was gridlock around McCarren when she landed and taxied on the tarmac

Bro these videos are actually so entertaining. Keep up the great work

Trev should go for his PPL. After watching this series my feed has been flooded with aviation videos😂

Definitely when you visit UK, visit Stoke On Trent specially during a rainy cold day. It’s amazing.

New York to London takes 7 hours not 5. So even more impressive that the Concorde did it in sub 3.

My grandpa flew on that plane once back in the day. He said it was one of the most uncomfortable flights he’s ever been on😂 he said it was really crammed in the window seat. You had to kind of sit at an angle because it was rounded off. But he said it was worth it because it was paid for by his business partner😂

$40 for this plane? Cmon!! I love this game but these plane prices are absolutely ridiculous and over the top. I'm an idiot and bought a package of P51s for $60 and they weren't even functional right after buying. It took a few weeks of updates before they actually even worked.

You can see and visit the interior here in France at Toulouse and other cities... At Toulouse they have installed also the Airbus A380, you can visit both floors it's really amazing to have that opportunity.

I was born in 1998, my dad who always travel a lot always tells me about The Concorde and its awesomeness, brought a few toys, books, videos about it for me. I remembered being so sad with he told me The Concorde had stopped flying forever. One of the coolest passenger plane ever.

56,000 feet? Whoa no plane had ever reach that high

$41 wtf that's pricy

This guys due diligence is incredible, great video mate.

my grandad got to fly in the concorde a few times... used to love hearing stories about it.

the nose might have been the most iconic part of the plane -- but it certainly was the most conic part of it.

Concorde actually took about 3 hours from London to New York and today takes around 8 hours, double the time you stated

These videos make me so sleepy idk why

Great video! Just a hint... afaik you can turn off the afterburners at Mach 1.7. The Concorde is able to reach Mach 2 and reaching top altitude without them.

Lovely video Trev. Fun and sad in such an iconic aircraft. Seen one at Heathrow airport when I flew to Sydney but this was well after it was decommissioned. Made at Filton, Bristol, UK and such a shame it’s not in service today. Just like the 747, two iconic planes will just now be remembered only

Trev you're a really good story teller, you should do a series where you just tell interesting stories.

It only flew into ny and washington cause of noise problems and for a year in texas. I used to go watch it fly into and out of dulles when I lived in fairfax va, it was pretty awesome.

I was lucky enough to go inside one of these, such an amazing aircraft

Rip to everyone on that concord flight and rip to all the 9/11 victims and rip to the four people that were in the hotel that the concord flew into

28:59 Trev: This is captain Martin requesting the taxi way with red box Flight control: they all have red boxes

When I lived in London I used to see Concorde from our balcony on its approach to Heathrow 5 pm every evening

Would love to see an episode with the Avrow Arrow, A Canadian Delta Wing fighter designed in the 1950's. Way ahead of it's time it was sadly scrapped by the Government before entering service. Lots of history on this and very interesting similarities with the space shuttle.

These used to fly over my house in the 90s in London. They were very loud. You instantly knew it was a Concorde before looking up.

Concorde is such an iconic plane. And i believe i've heard a story that Supersonic Transport was coming back.

Usually when I hear a video will be full of facts I'm like- eh. But this was actually really interesting and I loved it. 🤣

brilliant content! fun fact, back in 2002 i received sloppy head from a french girl while i was in the cockpit driving this beautiful beast.. ahh you got me reminiscing about the good ol days.

“this is captain martin speaking can i get the taxiway the uhhh with the red boxes” all of them had red boxes 😂

Love the little history lesson with this one!

I love these vids. I would like to see the fastest jet or plane of all time! I would love to hear some interesting facts about it

It was alleged that in theory it could make London to New York in just over 90mins. However it would arrive almost completely out of fuel.

LMAO at 13:08 when Trevor comes back into the cockpit, what a wake up call LOL just pure confusion!

Really appreciate these videos. Universally enjoyable

The reason that you're not go over cities and over people in land is the reason is because the sonic boom is so loud. It can break a glass it can break literal glass. That's why it can only travel over water

When I was a kid (40 now) we used to go outside and listen for the sonic boom going over head.. amazing plane. We still have a couple of them in museums in the uk…

i live right next to heathrow airport in london, i do remember the concorde being bloody loud, it was a rocket taking off every couple of hours lol

I remember seeing concord flying over my house when I was young had a very specific sound you just knew when it was over :)

I got to see the Concorde in NYC. It looks fast just sitting still. But the thing was so loud, any houses near its flight-path might need some window replacements.

That’s a really cool touch that you can’t hear the wind or engine when you move the camera in front! Flight sims are too cool now!

There are multiple companies working on next gen concords. Some are really close to flying too. Probably within the next 5-7 years

When the alarms started blaring, the panic set in LOL

insane vid bro, terrible about the disaster but amazing plane and a great vid. this is my fav series on youtube rn

the Concorde is the greatest machine ever made, it flew 100 people at 60k feet at Mach 2, paying customers, not military men/women, it is a beautful, fast, sexy machine, and people sipped champagne going supersonic at the edge of space

i went and sat in the concords cockpit and the amount of buttons and switches where overwhelming it was a great experience

I think this is my favorite series of yours Trev.

I live in the UK i remember seeing concord on its last flight fly above my school when i was in primary school.

I love this Microsoft flight sim series
