Answer 2

16 built, 1 crashed, the rest are on display as historical artifacts all over the world.

*700mph

Answer 3

There are none in service anymore, they were far too expensive to maintain...

Answer 4

20 Concorde aircraft were manufactured, none remain in airworthy condition.

001 & 002 were prototypes: 001 is at a museum at Le Bourget, 002 is in a museum at Yeovilton

01 & 02 the pre-production prototypes are at Orly airport and Duxford museum

Answer 5

There were 14 left when taken out of service, only two airlines ever used them British Airways and Air France. The Concorde remains the safest commercial airliner ever built, up until the Air France crash it still had the near perfect record in safe flight. I rode in the Concorde at EAA in 1994 and it was quite the treat. Some facts about the Concorde: It burned 186,000 lbs of jet fuel from New York to London at Mach 2.04 on the average. There are 2200 items on the check list, the seats are mounted on rollers, and as fuel is burned off and the fuselage stretches in flight, the seats remain in the same place. What killed the Concorde was 9/11 and fuel cost, not to mention the limited seating capacity (100) on average. Sir Richard Branson wanted to keep one flying for charter with Virgin Atlantic. The Concorde was the first jet to go supersonic without afterburner (super cruise engines) Rolls Royce Olympus. The airplane weighed about 408,000 lbs. at take-off. Maintenence was far less than some might think given the technology, what really did the old gal in was lack of overseas travel and prohibitive ticket prices....

Answer 6

I know where a few of them are.  One is mounted on a stick at the Paris CDG airport.  One is on a barge in New York City, next to the Intrepid aircraft carrier/museum.  One is in the National Air and Space Museum facility near Dulles Airport in Virginia.  I think it's too bad that Richard Branson was not allowed to keep at least one of them flying.

Answer 7

20 were built.

concorde was taken out of service November 2003. I only know of 1 concorde crash in Paris, so presumably the other 19 are around the world somewhere.

the flagship of the fleet (G-BOAC) is currently residing at Manchester Airport where it is now exhibition. You can go and see where the Queen and other famous people sat, and see the cockpit.

Answer 8

There is one At filton airfield, Bristol. Can be seen from the A38.

This is where a lot of design and build work was done.

Answer 11

There is a cocncorde at brooklands museum in surrey the others are distributed allover the country and the world, and Contrary to opinions comcorde was not taken out of service as it was too expensive, it was taken out of service because Airbus industries withdrew technical suppport  from  Air France and British Airways without a supply of spares and technical back up the aircraft's certificate of airworthiness was withdrawn, forcing BA and Air France to retire the plane
