Concorde
Tim Walters wrote:
Hello, I've just read in one of the French ngs that the French consider Concorde to have been the product of Gallic genius, with a small contribution from the Brits. Does anyone here happen to know how much (in terms of ideas, inventions, and engineering) each nation contributed? 50/50 Without (British) Olympus Concorde can not fly ...

BAE tend to say "They did the styling, we did the engineering."

RAF issued Operational Requirement 330 in 1954 for a supersonic recon platform which could also be a supersonic V bomber. Most of the British aircraft manufacturers made submissions but the project was cancelled in 1957. Do a search for the Avro 730, Vickers SP4 (which had 16 engines!), Handley Page HP.100 and English Electric P.10. Shorts also did a design but I can't remember what it was called. Cheers David |

Does anyone here happen to know how much (in terms of ideas, inventions, and engineering) each nation contributed? Easy. The UK contributed the design, and the French the spelling of the name.
