Dozydo - Jim dandy to the rescue?

The lovely lady on the Hudson was in sad shape the last time I visited her. Shameful considering her lineage.

I'm betting low altitude limits for Concorde are less about hull temps and possibly more about Vmo (airframe) limitations. (...and surely not thrust!)

Meanwhile, I await the truth as you do Octane, from our resident experts, to whom I offer warm thanks and have the greatest admiration!

Thanks EXWOK and CliveL!

Not to hijack Octane's question further, but are these speeds attainable with dry thrust?

Braniff that the subsonic Concorde flights, IAD to Texas with British Airways or Air France crews handling the subsequent supersonic overseas flights to Europe and the UK.

I understand the observer positions taken up by British crew was mainly due to insurance concerns. I have no knowledge of the Air France arrangement regarding observers, but hopefully one of our good contributors will clear that one up.
