(How much unpaid ambition...... How many things have parted between ancient and modern people...... )
The Concorde first flew in 1969 and entered service in 1976, mainly for operations from London Heathrow (British Airways) and Paris Shire; Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Air France) is a regular transatlantic route to and from New York JFK International Airport. The aircraft can cruise at 2.02 times the speed of sound at an altitude of 15,000 meters, and it only takes about 3 hours and 20 minutes to fly from Paris to New York, which is more than half the time of ordinary civil airliners, so although the ticket price is expensive, it is still popular with business travelers. On 7 February 1996, the Concorde flew from London to New York in just 2 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds, setting a record for the fastest flight.
On July 25, 2000, the Concorde airliner aF4590 ran over another American aircraft on the runway during takeoff. Continental Airlines' Dc-10 detached small iron bars, causing a puncture, while tire fragments hit the fuel tanks in the wing at a high speed exceeding the speed of sound. A fire then broke out, causing the plane to explode and crash into a hotel near the airport just minutes after takeoff. This was the only wreck of the Concorde during its service. It was also the first-ever supersonic jet crash, a tragedy that killed 113 people.
The crash prompted aircraft manufacturers to redesign their airframe designs and patch up many of the deficiencies. Kevlar (often used in body armor) materials were even used to protect the fuel tank from being punctured by high-velocity foreign objects later. But despite this, because the entire crash process was filmed by the people with household video equipment, the social ... It will be a serious psychological shock to the public, no matter how prestigious this plane has been in the past, but just one crash has caused the Concorde to collapse from then on...... Although the Concorde relaunched in November 2001, it has been severely under-carried. Due to heavy losses to airlines, the Concorde was finally retired in 2003.
By April 2003, 12 were on commercial flight. On 24 October 2003, Concorde made its final flight.
……
But now, this history has changed dramatically.
Due to Liu Fei's Liu's strong involvement in the aviation industry, the retirement time of Concord has been greatly advanced, because now there are more cost-effective aircraft anyway, who doesn't need such an aircraft but it is really bad. Pen up.
The last flight of the Concorde was on March 8, 2003, International Women's Day, and the two Concorde aircraft carried a group of 100 women who are very valued by the European Union on their final voyage, senior captain Hans; Feng; Einzberen and senior captain Henry; Feng; Einzbellen was appointed pilot for Air France and British Airways respectively.
At 10 a.m. in England, the Concorde started its jet engine, and when the first engine began to run slowly, every crew member felt a deep sadness. Because this is the plane they used to work on for several years, but today this plane is being decommissioned, so they are very sad. Although the plane is very old, it is a pride for all of Europe, because it has supersonic speed, can barely cross the Atlantic, and can fly to an altitude of 15,000 meters. Even they only need to climb to more than 12,000 meters to completely get out of the air traffic control, because no civil aircraft will fly at such a high altitude.
The crash in 2000 is still fresh in the memory of two captains from the same family, because on that very day, they thought their best friend had crashed into a hotel because a small iron bar that had fallen off the top of the Dailycrash-10 hit the fuel tank at supersonic speed, and since this incident, the full capacity of the Concorde has dropped dramatically. Once upon a time, it was a privilege to fly the Concorde in Europe and the United States, as the airfare alone cost $9,000. Even the fact that they "have arrived" "before departure" is something to show off is a lot to show off.
……
On this very day, the British air traffic control system has changed dramatically, because today there are greatly fewer planes in the sky, and it can even be said that there are no planes flying.
Captain Henry pushed a row of throttle valves to the end, and four turbo sprays. The launch engine quickly accelerated to take-off speed, and the plane glided faster and faster on the runway, and soon approached V1.
At the same time, the BBc broadcast: "This is the last flight of the Concorde, which represents the end of an era!" This tone was only used at this time when the comet appeared, which can be said to be a very big compliment to the Concorde. But now Henry could not be happy, for he had been born in England, and having lived in England for a long time, he could have long since been assimilated into the Anglo-Saxons, and it was very sad for him that one of the pride of England had disappeared.
The Concorde was propelled high into the air by four Rolls-Royce engines, and the Concorde was no longer visible.
……
At the same time, in the French city of Toulouse, where the Concorde made its first flight, Air France's Concorde was also making its last flight.
Hans started the engine and disconnected it from the powered car on the ground and opened the cockpit door. Because it was the last flight, he was willing to do it even if it was against the rules. After the 911 incident, all civil airliners were ordered to close the cockpit door, but this will undoubtedly make passengers gradually lose trust in the crew, which is more likely to lead to air crashes.
The flight attendants began to serve the last champagne, and the crew began to go on a final supersonic cruise......
……
When both planes landed at the same time in Paris, France, journalists from all over the world began to take pictures.
At the same time, Liu Fei and others held a press conference, to be precise, Liu Fei first held a press conference, saying that Liu's Aviation Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will follow up the development of a new supersonic passenger aircraft suitable for the current world environment.
Boeing was naturally not far behind, and hurriedly jumped out to fight with Liu's Aviation, compared with Liu's Aviation, Boeing's foundation is thicker. Because before that, Boeing also carried out the 2707 project, but for various reasons, this project was abandoned.
The Tupolev Design Bureau faintly said in a sour tone that it would follow up and observe the development trend of civil airliners. Sue.. The United Nations carried out the Tu-144 project, but at the Paris Air Show, the Tu-144 fell on its first flight, which directly led to the decline of the world's perception of this aircraft. As a result, there is now only a supersonic aircraft in the Concorde.
In the end, Airbus President Blier came forward and said that the latest generation of jet supersonic airliners would be developed, but vaguely expressed the hope that Rolls-Royce could develop the latest generation of jet engines.
※※※ Blier looked at the Concorde that was slowly being dragged to the museum display space, and said very sadly to Liu Fei who was standing beside him: "I really feel very sad to see her retire. But she's also a product of the 1965s, maybe it's time for her to retire......"
Liu Fei smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Lao Bu, we will soon create a supersonic aircraft that is more advanced than the Concorde." Although we may not build the same aircraft, but in the final analysis, we make supersonic civil airliners, right? ”
Briet finally smiled a little.
Henry and Hans looked at their hats caught in the gap, silently stepped off the plane, and finally took a picture with their own plane, and then prepared to leave in the gloom.
But Liu Fei stopped them, Liu Fei said with a smile: "In the future civil aviation market, supersonic passenger aircraft are also very important, if you are interested in our Liu Airlines, you can serve as the chief pilot of the western distribution of supersonic passenger aircraft and the chief pilot of the Eastern Branch." Liu's Aviation Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is developing the latest supersonic aircraft, which will definitely not be much worse than the Concorde. ”
……
For a period of time, the Concorde aircraft carried ordinary passengers on this ordinary day, carried out an ordinary flight, entered an ordinary museum, completed ordinary retirement, and officially became one of the retired civil airliners.
