But why so much blah blah about the eventual overweight of the concorde at take off? Want you to say than would the concorde have been ten tons under MTOW, it would have made it to Le Bourget with 2 engines?
It's not. The speed mini to fly the concorde with 2 engines is about 280 Kts (Concorde specifications), far away from the speed they could have made althought they have been lighter, without speaking of making a landing far overweight at hot speed, with the huge fire and with a tyre bursted...
