- PhantomGremlin 11y agoIt has to be true. I saw it in a cheezy B movie, surely it wasn't special effects? Or maybe it was just a roll, not a barrel roll. I can't remember, it's been 35+ years and I don't want to see the movie again. Anyway, we were expected to believe that the Concorde is maneuverable enough to evade both a SAM and missiles from a fighter. My "suspension of disbelief" unfortunately didn't kick in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Concorde_..._Airport_%2779 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Concorde_..._Airport_%2779 Hmmm ... reading the Wiki entry makes me think about wanting to see that movie again. So many bad disaster films were made in the '70s.
- Gravityloss 11y agoIf you watch the video Sosuke posted, the Concorde seems surprisingly maneuverable. Probably since it has a short span so it can roll quickly and a large amount of thrust. Actually, the movie used models, you can see the loop scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny_JslCCPxk&feature=youtu.be&t=46m40s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny_JslCCPxk&feature=youtu.be...
