If you think that using a foot pump when inflating car tyres is hard work, be grateful that rather more sophisticated kit was deployed when a Concorde main landing gear tyre needed a little more pressure. Because they typically ran at 232psi.
Speaking of pressure, if you're under any at all to deliver a better machine design or provide a factory automation performance boost, come to MachineBuilding.North on April 10th and marvel at the latest advances in technology on show. You can also inspect BA Concorde G-BOAC at first hand too.
As well as taking in all the latest developments in machinery safety and advances in machine building and factory automation innovation, you can take a free of charge guided tour of Concorde. And if you can tear yourself away from the interesting factory automation and machine building components being shown and demonstrated by almost 120 of the UK's top suppliers at MachineBuilding.North, you can also test your piloting skills in the adjacent flight simulator, courtesy of sponsors Euchner.
