it was over noise pollution

and really it wasn't that the US government cockblocked it, it was because the US government allowed nimbys to cockblock it

usually NIMBYs have no power in federal affairs, yet it did with the concorde

What you're describing is the design of Mirabel Airport which failed spectacularly and is now closed to passengers.
Don't be stupid, that type of airport design doesn't work.

- Believing there's something about the existence of aircraft that prevents you from venturing outside. Buying a house next to something that existed before you were even born, and then complaining about it, makes you a douchebag....same holds true if we're talking about a church, strip-joint, bar, railroad, school or firing range. It has a purpose, and you knew it was there before you chose to live next to it.

Fucking angry nerds... Probably most of you have never lived closed enough to the flight paths of a big international airport to hear constant plane traffic overhead.

Fuck your stupid Concorde, it failed with much bigger industry and government support. Useless plane nerds will never get that Albatross flying again. Just stfu.

Yeah because I never lived in a house next to an airport.

I realize this twit is just some ebin trell but seriously why the hell do NIMBYs get away with sound regulations when airports were typically built before housing developments grew around them?

I live under the approach path to Bristol International and I lived under the approach path of Filton. I miss the sound of Concorde taking off from Filton, and when Eyjafjallajökull erupted it was actually weird not hearing planes overhead.

Unlike you I'm not an autist who has to clasp their hands over their ears and scream when they hear a loud noise.

Fuck off, you dull cunt. If you don't get a fucking shiver of excitement when you think about this, then you are obviously dead to the pleasures of the world and derive whatever joy you can from arguing with the same people you constantly belittle. Besides, if XM558 did it then so can Concorde.

Oh look, bullshit fed to you by glorious Boeing and American media in general. The unfortunate truth is that Concorde did turn a profit with BA. Concorde revenue was reported as £1.75 Billion, making back its operating cost by nearly double.

There were absolutely more profitable aircraft operating during Concorde's lifespan but to say Concorde was entirely unprofitable is just pointless dribble.

Je suis français, maudit connard. The Concorde service on Air France never made back a single cent. BA made a profit because they sold the service as a flying limo service.

The plane was a drain on our air carrier's finances. Good riddance.

I think the main point is that in an era of private jets even the wealthy would rather not put up with the discomfort and noise of flying in a Concorde.

I get the impression you've never actually flown in one tbh. I've talked to people who have and they've said it was a neat experience but not one they miss.

No. What I'm saying is that the Concorde only made money because it was a luxury service.

The Concorde was supposed to be a people carrier but ended up only being profitable when marketed to rich business people.

Face it, you would have never flown on a BA Concorde when they were in service simply due to the ticket price. You would have been on the slow plane just like the rest of us plebs.

And the original intention doesn't matter if a company was able to adapt a new strategy to be profitable
Whether or not you or I could fly on it is also moot

Not him but if it were flying now I would totally be all over that. $4000 to New York and then non-Concorde on the return? Yeah I can do that.

The trick is I hate flying with such a passion that the price is worth it (and yes, I can afford it) just to get it over with as quickly as possible.

Well it obviously wasn't good enough now was it? If it truly was worth it then BA would have maintained Concorde service. It failed both as a people carrier and a luxury liner.

So you would have preferred riding on a bare bones plane for premium price (the inside of the Concorde was very Spartan) over paying a premium for luxury accommodations on a traditional plane? I mean I get the speed argument but the flight would probably be a lot more pleasant if you spent the money for first class service on a normal transcon flight.

This guy's got it. Also, it won't be under the same stress as it was when in airline service.
A one of a kind unique charter experience will appeal to the ultra rich, they will pay to have the plane to themselves, and the airframe will only be doing a fraction of the cycles it was before. The pilot's, stewards, and mechanics time will likely all be donated, and noise restrictions will not be a concern because it won't be a regularly scheduled flight.
