Thanks Feathers, glad you enjoyed the thread. The 'black art' of Concorde always was a fascinating subject. I always found ithe idea numbing that this more or less 'set it and forget it' system could achieve so much and contribute so much to the performance of Concorde. Never in the world both before or since could a variable intake give such a large amount of stability and efficiency, time after time. A tribute to the twelve British and two French designers; well done lads and lass. (The two Aerospatiale guys were responsible for the intake/wing aerodynamic interface, true masters of their craft).
