Concorde Cockpit

The Concorde cockpit featured analog instrumentation with over 100 individual gauges and switches, including specialized supersonic flight instruments like a Mach meter and center-of-gravity indicator. The flight engineer's panel occupied the right side with engine and systems controls. At the same time, the two pilots had traditional flight controls augmented by an artificial feel system due to the aircraft's fly-by-wire flight controls. Key features included the droop nose control for visibility during taxi and approach, afterburner controls for the Olympus engines, and a flight management computer system essential for precise supersonic flight path management.
