In the last 6 months of Concorde people knew it was the last 6 months of Concorde, there wasn't ever going to be a problem filling those seats because people just wanted to be able to say they had flown Concorde. It was effectively an amusment park ride at that point.

One thing to consider is that the reason why they turned a profit after it was announced they were retiring was because people wanted to try to fly on the concord before it was retired

It’s been 2 months since an airline video, I’m surprised he made it this long tbh

The only reason Concorde failed is they didn’t use skillshare

I’m glad you talked about passenger productivity. Amtrak in the US did a similar study. They were focused on speed and reducing commute time between DC and NYC. What they discovered was that most people didn’t care about shaving time off the trip, they cared more about being able to use their time on the train. So Amtrak solved their problem by just including outlets to recharge laptops and free Wi-Fi.

Two weeks later: Aerion Supersonic goes bust. This aged well.

Concorde used to fly over my house when I was a kid. We lived right at the coast of the Bristol Channel, which was the point at which Concorde was allowed to go supersonic. Sometimes they'd go supersonic a bit early. The boom was real. I used to love hearing it because I was amazed by Concorde, but it was loud and sometimes the windows used to shake.

Of all the names they could’ve gone with, they went with “Boom.” That’s like if I named a construction company “Collapse.”

And just like that Aerion is shut down two weeks after you talk about them.

9:40 for anyone who wants examples of this, there are occasions where fighters are cleared for supersonic travel over the continental united states for emergency response and they leave a string of videos of people hearing BANG and flinching, dogs bark, kids cry, mass confusion to be had; all because a Cessna was flying in a restricted airspace around the president

As a pilot who grew up with a concorde poster above his bed, i can't wait for the chance to fly one of these one day!

Today - June 3, 2021 - United Airlines announced that they ordered 15 new supersonic jets to be built by American start-up Boom Supersonic, to be completed by the year 2029, pending U.S. government approval. The model is the "Overture", and is expected to be the Concorde's direct successor. Testing will begin in 2025-2026.

We all know that the Magic Schoolbus is a more efficient Transportation System than any super sonic plane

I grew up as a TWA brat and got to fly on the Concorde once, in 1983, from London to New York. The passenger experience on the plane was actually very similar to subsonic transatlantic first class. The coolest part of the flight was watching the cabin speedometer approach and then surpass Mach 1. Though landing in New York "earlier" than you left London was a little weird.

My sister's boss used to fly Concorde from London to New York all the time. He loved that he could fly from London, land in New York, do what he needed to do there, then fly back to London the same day. I suppose he also had the benefit of flying before security measures tagged a few extra hours onto door-to-door airline travel.

Concord operated for about 4 decades. That's longer than most commercial aircraft. The video repeated refers Concord failing, it didn't fail, it operated well beyond it's expected life time and retired of old age. Concord most definitely was an absolute success.
