Concorde to be Grounded

Posted by michael on from the you-couldn't-afford-it-anyway dept.

Goonie writes "This BBC article reports that Concorde flights are to come to an end in October. It may be a noisy and costly anachronism, but it's sad to see the end of perhaps the coolest commercial plane ever to fly." The financial wires carried a story the other day showing how much jet fuel demand has dropped recently.

    soooo... 2,2/0,95~=1 ? Sonny boy, if you're from the US, then the state of the educational system there is as bad as my american friends tell me.

    btw; 2,2/0,95=2,31 - ie; the concord is 2,31 times faster than a still unbuilt arcraft.
