Features worthy of note ore the drooping nose, the main- undercarriage door bulges and the pronounced conical-camber washout, all of which are visible in the front view As outlined in this journal last week, the powerplant installation for the Concorde is the most challenging yet undertaken for any aeroplane. The engine is the Olympus 593/3 two-spool turbojet, rated at 29,3001b for take off. Intake and nacelle are chiefly a BAG responsibility, with advice from the engine manufacturers; the engine is by Bristol Siddeley, back to the turbine flange; the reheat jetpipe, variable nozzle and reverser are by SNECMA I, Boundary-layer bleed; 2, variable intake ramp; 3, cooling and venting air; 4, supple mentary intake; 5, quick-acting bleed door; 6, powerplant access and installation doors; 7, supplementary cooling intakes; 8, reverser doors; 9, reverser clamshell door; 10, clamshell in reverse-thrust position; 11, clamshell actuator; 12, variable nozzle actuators; 13, silencer mixers; 14, reheat manifolds; 15, eyelid door V7> 87 "Flight International" drawing =e^£ Simple illustrations of the voriotion in Concorde f>owerf>/ant geometry first appeared in our September 13, 1962, issue.
