- Taken at Paris Orly Airport, France, in September 2002
The air intakes of the right hand (n° 3 and 4) engines
The n° 4 engine air intake and ramp. The intake ramps on 02 appear to be replica replacement items. (although I could be wrong!)
The right hand engine nacelle
This is the rear of the engine housing which includes the exhaust system
Concorde 02 was the first to be fitted with the production standard TRT secondary nozzle system
The "buckets" rotate through 90 degrees to produce reverse thrust
The buckets also change position during different flight profiles for optimum engine performance.
Concorde's complex exhaust system delivers up to 29% of the aircraft's thrust at Mach 2
The engines were removed from the aircraft before she was put on show
The left hand (n° 1 and 2) engine nacelle
Another view of the n° 1 and 2 engine nacelle, this time showing the intakes and ramps
