RE: Part of Concorde tail ‘fell off’
BBC have reported “live” that the Rudder is hardly ever used and all the pilots they spoke to said it was hardly ever needed. Mind you these were concorde pilots.
Also CAA and BA aparently now saying honeycombe structed probably collpsed under some form of external pressure.
RE: erm i think u erm can use or they use a erm thingy to do that erm
Lol some of us are (pointing at post above)
RE: Part of Concorde tail ‘fell off’
What i meant was isnt the rudder used for making small adjustments compared to the ailerons as i would guess there is more wind going over the wing area than past the tail?
But hey i am only 16 and i dont study Aeronautical Engineering (yet!!) so I am just guessing!
RE: Part of Concorde tail ‘fell off’
Yep when u got ailerons to turn is rudder nessecary. I thought the only time it is really used is to line up with runway on decent and when u go over X speed on takeoff roll they control ur nosewheel

RE: Easyjet
As a big easyJet traveller from Belfast on my experience on all easyJet flights they would only say things like “Please don’t leave valuables behind or they will be divded among the crew” when your flight is delayed or there is for some reason high tension on the flight.
Was your delayed Skog?
RE: Scottish Airports receive £6 million boost
When I was up last August there seemed to be millions and millions of British Airways BAe 146’s!! Every 1 in 3/4 aircraft landign was a Bae146 and then a 737 of BA was never short behind. Mind you Go and easyJet also had a hell of alot of traffic with Go seeming to have the most.
