Why did they stop running the concorde, and did it really fly to the edge of space?

Question

Really want to fly on one.

Answer 1

Well the mean reason it was stopped was because the environmentalist said it was ruining the environment and messing with the air but i think the real reason was that it was really loud and that it was disrupting people. But yes it could get you to europe in half the time.

Answer 2

Although it has a high service ceiling (altitude), it could not get to the edge of space.  There were several reasons it stopped flying: Noise level - it was very loud inside and outside; the engines burned more fuel than other jets (not fuel efficient); many, many maintenance problems, both mechanical and electrical; environmental groups claimed damage to the environment (no proof); flight stability was poor;  not enough passenger space to offset the operating costs; and although it was supersonic (flew at over 600 mph), it didn't always do do.

Answer 3

The reason why is because it wasnt economical. It was fast and it could get you to Europe in half the time. The problem was is that it couldnt hold as many as the big Jumbo Jets. So they had to charge 3 times for a ticket to make up the difference. Most people wouldnt mind taking a few more hours for less money. Only the rich could afford it. No it couldnt fly to the edge of space.

Answer 4

they stop it temporarily due some personnel reason

Answer 5

Rite, they stoped it because of all the accidents. If anyone listens to the news an airline was sued for making a Concord Crash and kill all on board. It was not taken out of service for a short periord, It probaly wont be back... theres one in NYC on Intrepid, if you want to see one
