When you learn about a job opportunity in the defense sector, such as a position that comes open with your company, you send me the title, organization, location, and a brief description; link; or contact information, and I’ll share. This is a cooperative network. That means everyone’s participation is required to provide job opportunities to share.

*** Landing a Concorde
Very interesting video, with full technical explanation by the Captain,
of how to slow a Concorde from Mach 2, begin descent (they turn OFF the
autothrottles because monitoring the engine instruments is critical
during throttle reduction, and do it manually), slowing and descending
and finally, the traffic pattern at JFK. Note how long they maintained 350 KIAS, from
beginning the descent at 57,000' until well after leveling off at
9,000'. Also note how they increased the rate of descent while at flight
idle.
Interesting to me was how LATE in the process they finally get around to
lowering the 'visor' as he calls it (the entire nose of the Concorde
drops to allow visibility thru the forward windscreen downward to see
the runway). They don't lower it until the same time they lower the
landing gear!
