Hi guys, here is a schedule showing CG against Mach number (It's very old just like the author here). I hope that it now completes our collection of flight envelope diagrams. (Bellerophon, by the way, your diagram is precisely the one that I was scouring around for). Great explanations by everybody on the Mach/TAS/IAS etc issue, mostly all clear and concise ( a couple of minor goofs that were subsequently corrected, otherwise very good) .
If I were in the LEAST bit pedantic (and any here that know me would say that the b****d certainly IS pedantic), I would merely add that Concorde (like virtually all complex aircraft) relied on CALIBRATED airspeed (Vc) and not IAS, taking into acount plate and probe errors. Just as well I'm not pedantic .

Dude
