A description of how oxygen pressure vessels for the prototype B.A.C./Sud Concorde are manufactured from seamless steel tubing produced by the Weldless works of Tubes Limited and an outline of the salient features of the Concorde's oxygen system for crew and passengers. On February 28, 1968—just fourteen months hence—the first prototype Concorde supersonic airliner (FIG. 1) will make its maiden flight from the Toulouse-Blagnac airfield in France. Six months later the second prototype will make its first flight from British Aircraft Corporation's airfield at Filton, Bristol. In September 1969, and November 1969, respectively, two pre-production aircraft will fly for the first time—these having a longer fuselage, higher gross weight, additional fuel capacity and higher payload capacity than the prototype aircraft. Apart from the fact that the pre-production types will carry full flight test instrumentation, they will be fully representative of production Concordes—60 of which have already been ordered for service with thirteen leading world airlines.
