ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
Concorde or concord is a great airplane and majestic in the golden age of passenger aircraft services for a wide range of advantages on this aircraft. This aircraft greatness cannot be denied that there is more to the advantage of the whole country and not able to compete with the greatness of this aircraft. Cooperation between the two countries to make a profit when the invention of the airplane, and the country is able to improve the quality of their country in the eyes of the world. Technology that the country is quite encouraging because it transcends progress in other countries, as well as their talent wise and clever enough to be able to create this Concorde aircraft. Concorde has its own advantages that we can ascertain.
Great designers and manufacturing experience
advantage that we can see is the great aspects of designers and manufacturing experience which can in the great job classification. This fabulous creation is seen in the design of the engine, as well as materials used to prepare the aircraft that can travel at the speed of a supersonic. there has never been another creation of a supersonic aircraft to carry passengers to a destination for a supersonic aircraft are just used to carry bombs and fighter jets.
A in November 1962, the British and French governments agreed to develop and build a supersonic aircraft. Each design presents an aerodynamic supersonic aircraft with a range of difficult problems, including two that have the highest interest powerplant installation and design of subsonic aircraft. supersonic speed because it is there are many configuration changes have been introduced, particularly in the areas of the nose and visor, rear wing and fuselage. the head of...

...rançois Mitterrand regularly used the Concorde as French flagman aircraft in foreign visits. British Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Ministers Edward Heath, Jim Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair took the Concorde in some charter flights such as Queen's trips to Barbados on her Silver Jubilee in 1977, in 1987 and in 2003, to Middle East in 1984, to the United States in 1991, etc.
The Concorde sometimes made special flights for its demonstration, for exhibit on airshows (Farnborough, Paris-LeBourget, MAKS, etc.) and other expositions, for taking part in parades and celebrations (as ex., of Zürich airport anniversary in 1998), for private charters (as ex., many times by President of Zaire Mobutu Sese Seko), for promo-advertising of companies (OKI, etc.), for Olympic torch relays (1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville), for observing of solar eclipse, etc.
Major Ted Tolman’s F-105 Thud fighter/bomber streaked through the air at just under the speed of sound. His aircraft performed modestly at best, struggling to maintain its speed and altitude under the heavy load of ordinance and fuel it carried under its wings (Patrick).
Before going deep into the problem, it is important to have an overview at the history of supersonic flight. Supersonic transport or SST came into development soon after World War II. During the 50s’, there were four nations competing in this new industry: France, Britain, American, and the Soviet Union. However, there were only 3 sides in this competition as Britain and France agreed on a joint development program (Drake & Purvis, 2001, p.3). The France and Britain collaboration resulted in the legendary Concorde, the name that everyone always mention when talking about supersonic transport. In the far-east, the Soviet Union worked on a similar design to the Concorde, called TU-144. In 1968, the TU-144 had its first flight on 31 December, one year earlier than the Concorde. Meanwhile in the United Stat...
Following World War II and the jet engine technology that emerged largely toward its end, aerospace engineers knew well that the technology had great potential for use in the commercial aviation industry. The Comet was the first aircraft to utilize jet propulsion; however, its designers failed to consider the metallurgy of the aircraft’s materials under flight conditions or the consequences of their atypical window design. The aircraft was designed by Britain’s De Havilland Aircraft Company and entered service in May 1952. After a year of service, however, the design issues mentioned above resulted in the failure of several Comet aircraft. Extensive evaluations revealed that repeated pressurization stress on the aircraft’s main cabin had caused its structure to fail.
Many people are amazed with the flight of an object, especially one the size of an airplane, but they do not realize how much physics plays a role in this amazing incident. There are many different ways in which physics aids the flight of an aircraft. In the following few paragraphs some of the many ways will be described so that you, the reader, will realize physics at work in the world of flight.
...ries, it was mainly used for luxury, goods, and relatives from the United States. Since our world has advanced in the past 100 years, we could accommodate more vacation areas, receive and ship a greater number of imports and exports, and see relatives from different countries. It has made our world an easier and more efficient place, one airplane at a time.
The invention of the airplane was the most exciting and important invention for the transportation industry during the Industrial Revolution. The satisfaction of finally being able to fly with the birds and visit new places while careening around through the air made people all over the world ecstatic about this new, revolutionary creation. The airplane would also later on provide for faster imports and exports of goods which will in turn get more money because of this innovative way to transport goods that does not take as long to make transactions. Airplanes increasingly become larger and are higher in quality which eventually made them capable of being used in wars. Also, the president and other American representatives are now able to fly to other countries to maintain peace and keeping foreign connections strong. These could not be possible without the relentless pursuit of the desire to attain flight.
By 1914 aviation technology was sophisticated enough to make airplanes valuable wartime tools. In 1918, the U.S. government found an important peacetime role for aviation: delivering mail. Entrepreneur Walter T. Varney launched his U.S. "air mail" operation April 6, 1926, marking the birth of commercial aviation in the United States. Because Varney was a predecessor of United, it also marked the birth of the airline.
The Airplane was first invented in 1903; it amazed everyone but never really took off because of how dangerous it still was. They used planes in WWI but they threw them aside. After WWI (around mid 1920’s) the Federal Government had the idea of airmail. This was readily accepted; instead of receiving mail in two weeks it would only take a couple of days. Soon after this, transporting people quickly caught on although only the upper-class people could afford it, it soon became accessible to almost everyone. (Inventions: Airplane)
Travelling at a speed twice that of sound might seem to be something futuristic; however, this feat has already been achieved almost 40 years ago by the world’s only supersonic passenger aircraft-The Concorde. Concorde brought a revolution in the aviation industry by operating transatlantic flights in less than four hours. The slick and elegant aircraft with one of the most sophisticated engineering was one of the most coveted aircrafts of its time. However, this was all destined to end when Air France Flight 4590 was involved in a tragic disaster just outside the city of Paris on July 25, 2000. The crash killed 113 people, but more disastrous was its impact. The belief and confidence people had with Concorde gradually started to fade, and finally Concorde was grounded after two and a half years of the crash. Official reports state that the main cause of the crash was a piece of metal dropped by a Continental aircraft that flew moments before Concorde, but, over the last decade, the report has met a lot of criticism, and many alternative hypotheses have thus been proposed.
jet services started with the Comet 4 and the Boeing 707. In the mid 1960's all

Ever since I was little I was amazed at the ability for a machine to fly. I have always wanted to explore ideas of flight and be able to actually fly. I think I may have found my childhood fantasy in the world of aeronautical engineering. The object of my paper is to give me more insight on my future career as an aeronautical engineer. This paper was also to give me ideas of the physics of flight and be to apply those physics of flight to compete in a high school competition.

Boeing is hitting its target markets of the public sector, private sector, and government. Not only does Boeing sell within the United States, but is also a global supplier. In September 2016 alone, Boeing delivered to 42 different customers worldwide (Boeing, 2016). Boeing’s greatest strength, however, is their track record of being an industry leading technology produce for years. Boeing is constantly winning government contracts for defense and NASA, clearly indicating how much the US government values their technological advances in aerospace. While these are not all of Boeing’s strengths, they are some of the key points in showing what a strong company Boeing is currently.
