TAKING OFF
Concorde
A Cessna can take-off at a speed that a Morris Eight can reach, a 747 lifts at 184mph, but Concorde, history's most insanely brilliant piece of Anglo-French engineering, needed to do 250mph to get airborne. Never mind the fact that only 100 people at a time could experience the 38,000lb of thrust from the four Rolls-Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593s, or that they could bring only 2.5 tonnes of luggage between them: this was the greatest passenger aircraft of all.
