Product Details
Exterior model:
All three variants of the Concorde have been modelled, from the port-hole visor prototypes, the pre-production aircraft with clear visors and vastly improved specifications, right through to the final production models used for promotional purposes and offered to airlines. Due to the incredibly long development period, there was a huge difference between the prototype and production models.
Production Aircraft & General Features:
- GMax Models - Accurately modelled down to the smallest detail complete with high resolution textures
- Three variants for each model - Available in:
- Exterior model only
- Virtual cockpit with virtual cabin
- Detailed virtual cockpit and forward galley
- Animations - Each model features hundreds of moving parts. All of these are controlled by the aircrafts systems and mimic their real-world counterparts. Click the thumbnail images below to view more details...
- Spectacular Effects - The model is brought to life with a complete range of condensation, reheat, smoke, spray and lighting effects
- Aircraft Liveries - All our models come in a variety of liveries comprising of extremely detailed textures:
- Both Air France and British Airways fleets included, so you can fly your favourite aircraft
- Each texture is available as 32Bit or DXT3; an optimised bitmap to improve system performance
- A whole library of additional repaints are available for download. Visit our Repaints section
Pre-Production Aircraft:
The gestation period of the aircraft was so long that almost inevitably its design and indeed its specification changed after the Prototype design had become frozen. Hence the Pre-Production aircraft had a different wing plan form, more fuel, a higher engine standard, a "glass" visor rather than metal and a different intake system.

Prototype Aircraft:
The early aim during the test flights with the prototypes was expand the flight envelope as quickly as possible to prove that the supersonic sums and predictions were somewhere near correct. Clearly there would have been little point in progressing if the performance was not correct as this was of crucial significance to the success of the aircraft, even more than is usually so on an airliner, because of the very high fuel consumption involved when flying both supersonic and at slow speed subsonic.
