The Concorde, What If?
What if renovations and modern considerations could be made to make a three-hour flight from New York, to London feasible?
In a four-month design thinking project, my team reevaluated the system and identified potential improvements that could revitalize the Concorde.
The BAC Concorde was a pioneer of high speed and optimization of flight reaching speeds above Mach 2.04 at over 60,000. Only 14 of the 20 planes built were commercially used when the Concorde was retired in 2003. The decision to fly passengers sub-sonically, the lack of maintenance support, and concerns from 9/11 grounded a flying luxury deemed "ahead of its time.”
