The Concorde … Airport ’79
Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde · 1979
You colored this airplane in the book – here you can find it as a model kit, model or movie. In the book on page 69.
A slender delta wing with no horizontal tail. Because Concorde had to fly nose-high at low speed, the pilots could not see the runway when landing – so the nose can be lowered. The afterburners ran only on take-off and when breaking the sound barrier.
