The Concorde was not successful. The 747 is.

Concord was successful, it met its design goals.

No, it didn't. It didn't have the range originally intended. I believe
it
was supposed to super-cruise, too, and it didn't.

You don't know much about it do you?
It did super cruise.
It wouldn't have got halfway across the Atlantic if it had to use the after
burners.
There wasn't any in flight refuelling for it.

However it failed commercially as the goal was moved.

...and the SST was cancelled when the goal was moved. The Concorde was
continued for ego reasons.

The Concorde was well down the development path when the problems started.
The SST wasn't even started until it looked like Concorde was going to take
the passengers away.

We had several political changes and an oil crisis that made it too
expensive.

It was too expensive when it was DESIGNED.

Pretty much the same as the 747 should feel when the A380 takes all its
passengers.

In your dreams.

Which it won't as the USoA doesn't allow a level playing field and will
prevent it from getting landing slots when its a threat.

Lies.

You might have a military plane faster but you haven't got a passenger
airliner faster.

They have the space shuttle, the only thing faster than that was Apollo
but
that's old technology borrowed from the Germans.

More bullshit.

Are you claiming the shuttle is faster than Apollo then?
Apollo was doing about 25,000 mph on re-entry, the shuttle doesn't.

Fast it was, but poor design NO.

They spent wads of money to

very fuel inefficient.

As is any super fast jet. I should know, I spent many years working in
that environment.

That forced the fares so high that they weren't
able to compete with better planes from multiple countries.

Lots of passengers enjoyed the fact they could spend the day shopping in

Oh, come on. Anything designed in England in the 1960s has to leak oil.


Even their lightbulbs.

Many years ago in a previous life, radio host Don Imus brought me his
Triumph Motorcycle to look at because the headlight as in fact,
leaking oil!

Long story short: Bad oil pressure sending unit had it's wire lead
encased in a plastic spaghetti tube that ran up along the frame to the
headlight housing. Oil was running up through the spaghetti tubing and
collecting in the headlight housing. When he parked, it would drip
out.


One look at Imus, and you knew it wasn't hair oil. ;-)

He was very well lubricated, himself, back when I knew him.


Teflon in his beer?

He didn't drink beer.

Orange juice in his Vodka.

I was trying to be polite.

Who was to know in the sixties that oil was going to rise to the price
it
is today?

It didn't. Your taxes did.

There is no tax on aviation fuel, its some silly international agreement.

Sans taxes, fuel is almost the same price now as it was in the '60s. Look
it
up, instead of looking like the dumbass you are.

You need to take a remedial reading course.

If you are familiar with faston connectors, you can trim the
terminals with scissors or wire cutters so a connector will
slip on to them. The connectors are available in many sizes
with the 1/4" being the most common. I believe The Shack,
formally Radio Shack carries several sizes. Here's a link
to a manufacturer that produces many types so you can see
what I'm referring to:

Where do you get this?

Well one of the problems with the big engines NASA was using was getting the
fuel in fast enough.
They did this by fitting big pumps.
Apparently the Russians used a turbine powered by the rocket to achieve it,
something NASA said wasn't possible.
It saved weight and gave more thrust.
What the Russians couldn't do was make stuff well.

Sigh. Why do you think NASA wouldn't use that turbine powered pump?
The US space program was a lot more safety conscious than Russia's.

The Saturn was unusual, possibly unique, in that it was (apparently) the
only rocket that never failed.

It wasn't used much though, other rockets don't have a much worse failure
rate, not even the shuttle.
They cancelled the last few Apollo missions, partly to avoid an accident,
they knew they were pushing their luck.

I don't know where in the US they would say 'amearkin'. Not that some

suspect the southern US or inner cities where a lot of the alphabet is
ignored or elided over.

They were both more or less the same.
However the Russians did have significantly more advanced rocket

They built bigger engines, typical of Russian designs. Scale up
something, then everthing else needed the same.

You don't know much do you?


Do you know anything? Have you ever seen their tools, or how about

They actually made smaller engines, it was NASA that scaled them up.
The Russians redesigned them to get more thrust from the same size.

They did build a bigger rocket, they could do this as they had more
thrust
available from their better engines.


Really? Do you always state the ovbvious? Their first rockets were
smaller than the US rockets so they didn't need the additional thrust.

Not obvious enough for you to understand it appears.

Oh yea, thanks for your service. Both my parents, my older brother
and paternal great uncle were regular army. I was in college during
The Vietnam War and joined up and was turned down even though I was
in the greatest shape of my life. I didn't know that I had stumbled
upon the secret of avoiding being drafted into the military until
30 years later when I befriended a former Army recruiter. It was my
allergies, I had told the military doctor about my allergies causing
me breathing problems. All of these guys were shooting off a toe,
claiming to be queer or running off to Canada to avoid the draft
when all they had to do was tell the doctor they had allergies. I was
trying to join up! My recruiter friend told me that turning down a
potential recruit for allergies was one of the biggest secrets of the
war. That's been my luck, I find it by accident.

Oh yea, thanks for your service. Both my parents, my older brother
and paternal great uncle were regular army. I was in college during
The Vietnam War and joined up and was turned down even though I was
in the greatest shape of my life. I didn't know that I had stumbled
upon the secret of avoiding being drafted into the military until
30 years later when I befriended a former Army recruiter. It was my
allergies, I had told the military doctor about my allergies causing
me breathing problems. All of these guys were shooting off a toe,
claiming to be queer or running off to Canada to avoid the draft
when all they had to do was tell the doctor they had allergies. I was
trying to join up! My recruiter friend told me that turning down a
potential recruit for allergies was one of the biggest secrets of the
war. That's been my luck, I find it by accident.

I was given five medical 4F ratings and told I could never enlist.
So, I started an industrial electronics repair business. Two years
later they drafted me. I had to shut the doors when I left for basic.
Then they tried to tell me I didn't know any electronics, but I tested
out of the three year Broadcast Engineer course.

Not obvious enough for you to understand it appears.

Who was to know in the sixties that oil was going to rise to the price
it
is today?

It didn't. Your taxes did.

There is no tax on aviation fuel, its some silly international agreement.

Sans taxes, fuel is almost the same price now as it was in the '60s. Look
it
up, instead of looking like the dumbass you are.

You need to take a remedial reading course.

Another idiot Europeon.
