concorde supersonic test flights
Have just watched sky news, concerning taxy trials of alpha fox.
A so called aviation expert was asked "what tests will be carried out during a supersonic test flight?".
Said expert replies "fuel system test and hydraulics and of course the tyres!".
I have worked on concorde and i work for BA, but can anyone explain the supersonic airtest of the tyres?????????.

Just seen another "aviation expert" (quote) called Chris Yates on Sky news explaining that they were just testing it in the "terminal manouvering area" today and that they would shortly be flight testing it,,,"probabaly subsonic first then supersonic!"
What exactly is an aviation expert? who is this guy?

I saw that guy alright, aeronautically challenged or what?
Sky usually use Paul Beaver as their 'aviation expert' except when theres a war on when he appears as a 'defense expert'
together with Francis Tusa, who are these guys, does anybody know anything about them?
