In answer to [Steve]'s question

I believe a "Near Zero Fuel" landing was successful....by a certain Chief Pilot

There were several appropriate cartoons at the time.

No disrespect was meant for Captain Brian Walpole .

A quick Google search will reveal many interesting articles about him and his involvement with Concorde.

I cannot imagine any requirement for more than one engine (with or without reheat) to be run at full power when parked in the detuners. Thus there would be very little chance of exceeding the brake torque limits.

I know we seem to be straying a little off topic, but having two engines at high power against brakes set to park and all wheels chocked is going to produce a lot less torque than say a sudden stop from 30 knots at RTOW.
