I set Autoland so I could grab this image as she lands. There will be a 64-bit version. Timing unknown but hopefully this year. The landing speed was 160kts, quite a bit faster than a 747.

Around 139kts. But for the New York run from Heathrow Vr was 190kts and by the time the gear left the ground you're probably looking at 220kts. Remember, Concorde had no flaps so it was sheer speed that got her airborne. Hence the reheats. The aircraft had to be pitched up quite a bit to keep below 250kts until reheats were cancelled after around 1m 20s. Then pitch down to maintain 250kts until ATC gave you "no speed restriction". Usually before CPT was reached on the SID. Fun eh? Ray (Cheshire, England).
