In earlier posts we were talking about the complex shape of the wing.

Looking through my 'archive', I've finally found this photo again... been looking for it for ages.



Kinky .... !!


Found on the net a few years ago. It's either 002 (G-BSST) or 01 (G-AXDN) at Fairford.

All Concordes have this 'kink', but the interesting thing is, that it's only visible from one very precise spot in line with with the wing leading edge. A few metres to the left or right, or forward or back, and the 'kink' disappears.
Many people are not even aware it exists.

Happy 2011 to all !
