What nobody is talking about is that Concord was unsafe from day one. A naked flame has no place near a passenger/civil aircraft why because any fuel leak will immidiately catch fire and that kind of fire cannot to extingushed. A fuel leak no matter how massive on Airbus 320-380 or B737-387 will be no bid deal.but not on the concord. Afterburner was the cause of the Paris Concord crash. It is simply put a naked flame. it may be ok on a fighter jet because a pilot on a fighter jet can always bale out. Without the afterburner the Concord could have managed the fuel leak. but the afterburner set fire to the air/fuel mix that could not be put out.( did Boeing come to the same conclusion and is that why after spending massive amount of moneey it calcelled the boeing supersonic project? remember no afterburner no supersonic plane)
That's one of the stupidest, misinformed posts on here ever, and that takes some doing.

So you cannot have an engine fire if you do not have reheat ?

A very interesting hypothesis.

Idiot.
