Anyone seen the proposed concorde on ideas? this thing looks pretty sweet and would be a good complement to the "10177 boeing 787" set but better, since the plane itself was rare/awesome, had a huge impact on aviation history and is now retired. the piece count looks reasonable and may actually be feasible for lego to make one. SUPPORT!

Looks pretty nice, although I would have expected a studless design for a supersonic airplane.

Yeah it's going to tear itself apart beyond mach 1

it will melt into a seamless TRU display come xmas 2015

Love it.

This is a great Ideas MOC. I really like the engine on the cart and the ability to switch the livery on the plane. I supported this when it popped up the other day, I thought the Concorde was awesome when I was a kid.

I'm not a huge fan of its lego design, but I love the idea of a Concorde from lego... ideas.

The guy thought about the nose droop, its great.

No need to mention that it could be a massive winner in my country.

Supported. Seems like they are due to do a larger Ideas set eventually.

I guess with enough plates this could be overcome.

I like it, it looks great. I don't mind the studs either.

But does it have swooshability?

 

I think this would be a great set. This past spring I went to the Intrepid Air & Space museum in NYC and checking out the Concorde on the deck was a highlight for sure.

 

*Edit.. Concorde's nothing... just the plane.*

There should be a series of videos asking the question "but can it swoosh?" that is if there isn't already.

Yeah, I was seriously disappointing by the swooshability of 10181.  Every time I try flying it around the living room I end up with a pile of gray bricks on the floor.  I guess that's what happens when a Frenchman designs a rocket.
