| Description |
Unique to Concorde, the tail bumper wheel prevented damage to the aircraft in case the tail made contact with the runway. The variable geometry exhaust nozzle consisted of two "eyelids" which varied their position in the exhaust flow dependent on the flight regime. Also, when fully closed (into the exhaust flow) they acted as thrust reversers, aiding deceleration from landing to taxi speed. |
