Конкорд
В википедии интересная статья про Конкорд. Просторные ли были места, куда клали ручную кладь, что происходило в момент преодоления звукового барьера, как все пассажиры весили на 1.6% меньше, чем на земле, и почему солнце всходило на западе.
Приводятся интересные сведения по экономике и обществоведению:
- After doing a market survey and discovering that their target customers thought that Concorde was more expensive than it actually was, British Airways progressively raised prices to match these perceptions.
- It has been suggested that Concorde was not cancelled for the reasons usually given, and that the airlines discovered during the [post crash] grounding that Concorde's first class passengers were loyal to the airlines and carrying them on subsonic aircraft gave greater revenue.
Ну и, разумеется, the plane's costly development phase represented a substantial economic loss for the French and British governments, although it made large operating profits for British Airways for much of its service life. Поэтому, it is a symbol of great national pride to many in Britain and France; in France it was thought of as a French aircraft, in Britain as British. As a symbol of national pride, a plane from the British Airways fleet made occasional flypasts at selected Royal events, major airshows and other special occasions.

Ощущение было странное. Вылетел из Нью-Йорка где-то около часа дня, а в Париж прилетел уже около одиннадцати вечера, пока паспортный контроль, багаж, такси, то да се - в гостинице уже почти за полночь. А для тебя самый день.
Еще помню, что и туда, и обратно рядом со мной сидели очень интересные пассажиры, только я уже не помню, кто. Один вроде крупный бизнесмен, другой раз это была пожилая тетка, забыл кто, но что-то из общественной жизни. Много нового от них узнал.

Аналогично рассказывалось про некоторых производителей высококлассной аудиотехники - по себестоимости не очень дорогой, но, если продавать близко к ней, то никто не станет это рассматривать как "хай-энд", "высокий" рынок будет потерян, а на "низком" они не смогут конкурировать с массовыми людьми, типа Сони, Панасоника и проч.
