9.3. Réacteurs / engines ou power plants
Par moteur 17 tonnes - 38,050 lbs Engine thrust - Poussée moteur
With afterburner reheat (postcombustion)
Engines - Moteurs : 4 Rolls-Royce-Snecma, Olympus 593 Mark 610
La propulsion est assurée par quatre turboréacteurs double corps montés par paires, chacun équipé d'une réchauffe, d'une entrée d'air à section variable et de tuyères primaire et secondaire utilisées pour optimiser les performances. La tuyère secondaire permet également de fournir une poussée inversée.
*******************************************************************
Power is supplied by four twin spool turbojets installed in pairs, each being equipped with a reheat, a variable area air intake and variable primary and secondary exhaust nozzle used to optimise performance. The secondary exhaust nozzle also incorporates the thrust reverser.
The engines are Rolls-Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593 Mark 610 turbojets. Turbojets -- not high-bypass fans. High-bypass fans offer good fuel flows in the lower atmosphere but they tucker out at high altitude/high speed. Worse yet, they are heavier than turbojets. Turbojets may seem to be relics of the past but at 2.0 Mach, the turbojet is the right engine. With afterburner, or reheat to use the British term, each of four engines produces 38,050 pounds of thrust on takeoff. In 2.0 Mach cruise, it is another story -- but more about that later.
Maximum thrust produced during supersonic cruse, per engine 10,000 lbs
Reheat contribution to performance 27% at full thurust during take-off

but the special ' high-reflectivity' white paint helps reflect and radiate heat. Its reflectivity is 80 out of 100, compared to the rating of normal white paint of 45-50 out of 100, Concorde is re-painted every three years.

The Concorde cruises at Mach 2, or twice the speed of sound*. That means you can get to places in a Concorde faster than in a regular airplane. In fact, you can "arrive before you leave!" How? Well, it's a matter of timing. For example, if you flew from London to New York, it would take you 3.5 hours. You could leave London at 5 PM and arrive in New York at 3:30 PM -- 1.5 hours before time of take-off! Why? Because you crossed 5 time zones (setting the clock back 5 hours) in just 3.5 hours.
