Re the autotrim, tell us some more?
I wasn't directly involved with the control laws themselves, more with trying to assure those control laws were respected to well below 1%.

There are some (I am not among them) who would say that the Concorde project was a good way to learn how NOT to run a major international collaboration
I know what you're saying.....
Still, I think you'll agree that lessons
were learnt, rather than totally ignored.
I would say Airbus
can trace its history back to the lessons learned from Concorde.
