A very stringent effort to merge Concorde with existing technologies and geographies was undertaken, and for the most part quite successful. The Convair B-58 had weenie tyres and quite high launch v's. It experienced, as a military a/c, all that was forties and fifties about aviation.
I am surprised some one takes this trial as an affront to Concorde. I must have been asleep, but how so? She did everything asked, in elegant fashion. Duff tyres, Fred Sanford's aerodrome (s), slop maintenance are not in her quiver, she is the victim of such things, not the accomplice, imo.
