	Concorde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Concorde had a cruise speed of Mach 2.02 (around 2,170 km/h or 1,350 mph) and a maximum cruise altitude of 60,000 feet (18 300 metres) with a delta wing configuration and a reheat-equipped evolution of the engines originally developed for the Avro Vulcan strategic bomber.
		Concorde's primary legacy is the experience gained in its design and manufacture which later became the basis of the Airbus consortium.
		Concorde led directly to a general reduction of noise of aircraft flying out of JFK; it was found that Concorde was actually quieter than the other aircraft (due to the pilots temporarily throttling back their engines to reduce noise during overflight of residential areas).

		Concorde reached a speed of Mach 2.04 and a cruise altitude of 60,000 feet (18,000 meters) with a delta wing configuration and an evolution of the afterburner-equipped engines originally developed for the Avro Vulcan strategic bomber.
		Concorde was considered to be the safest airliner in the world, as measured by passenger-deaths per passenger-mile, until Air France's F-BTSC (ironically, the aircraft featured in the film "Airport'79 : The Concorde") crashed during take-off from Paris on July 25, 2000.

	Concorde - Salon
		The Port Authority of New York, wary of Concorde's sonic booming and generally bad (i.e., loud) temperament, refused to grant it landing rights at John F. Kennedy International Airport, a ban that lasted until the U.S. Supreme Court struck it down in 1977.
		Such egalitarian deployment was something Concorde would never see, despite its designers' dreams of a fleet of 400-plus planes in the hands of most of the world's biggest airlines.
		Concorde would find its place as an anachronistic holdout -- an Orient Express of the skies, a White Star Liner in a Carnival Cruise world of crowded terminals and overbooked charter flights -- and would stay there.

		Both were largely funded by their respective governments as a way of gaining some foothold in the aircraft market that was until then dominated by the United States.
		The governments continued to take a cut of any profits made, in the case of BA 80% of the profit was kept by the government, whilst the cost of buying the aircraft was covered by a loan offered by the government.
		Finally, in late 1977, the noise concerns of New York residents gave way to the advantages of Concorde traffic, and scheduled service from Paris and London to New York's John F. Flights operated by BA were coded 'BA001' through 'BA004'.
