Concorde in service

Abstract

In the two and a half years that Concorde has been in service with British Airways and Air France, the nine aircraft in service have carried 250,000 passengers, travelled 16 million miles and accumulated 15,310 flying hours. These numbers, though still small by airliner standards, are sufficient for effective comparison of service experience with predictions made and objectives set during the design process. This provides the central theme of our paper.
