Amazing Photos From the Inside the Cockpit of a Concorde
Concorde was a game-changer, shaking up commercial aviation with its breathtaking supersonic speeds and futuristic design.
Everything about it—from its sleek body to the way it was operated—set it apart from the aircraft of its time. The flight deck, in particular, was unlike anything found in traditional planes, with a level of complexity that demanded immense skill from its crew. Pilots would recognize the familiar basic controls, but Concorde’s cockpit was a world of extra switches and unique panels, packed tightly into its narrow space. Unlike modern airliners that phased out flight engineers, Concorde still required a three-person crew, reinforcing how specialized and demanding it was to fly. Despite its crowded cockpit, every instrument had a purpose, making this legendary aircraft a true masterpiece of precision and engineering.
