This reduces drag and improves fuel efficiency. That means you can get to places in a Concorde faster than in a regular airplane. Well, it's a matter of timing. For example, if you flew from London to New York,it would take you 3.5 hours. The Concorde's wings are thin and swept back at an angle.
Thin wings reduce drag and help delay the formation of shock waves.
But wings can be made only so thin. The angling back of the wings, which further reduces drag, makes them act as if they are thinner in the airstream. At our August meeting the club will be accepting nominations for new BOG members. A total of 11 new BOG members will be elected at the October general meeting. I would like to see more of our younger club members involved in making club policy.
