The magic of.. stairs?

  The HackerNews guidelines are quite clear regarding snark. The stairs aren't easy to make out from that photo. Here's another photo that shows the metal staircase: https://old.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/btze9j/my_picture_of_the_great_concorde_at_sinsheim/ https://old.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/btze9j/my_picture...

    Unfortunately your initial comment comes off as a snark. On top of that you took your time to actually find a photo supporting your argument but didn’t bother searching for a photo of the entrance to the planes?

  Ok wow. That’s some amazing effort to find room for not just the exhibit but to make it accessible to the visitors! These two German museums just jumped out of no where into the top ten of my science/engineering museum bucket list.

I always love the extra landing gear added to the Concorde to avoid tail strikes on rotation - sometimes "patches" are the correct solution to infrequent problems!

  I don’t think they’re a patch - they were part of the original design.
