A little more perspective
British Airways lists Concorde at 11.3 meters tall and 62.1 meters long. This historical service-era reference uses the landing gear extended and a level runway plane. The selected tail height is separate from the movable nose’s position and from the thermal expansion of the fuselage in flight.
British Airways’ length and height listings describe two different axes of the parked aircraft. The 62.1-meter fuselage stays horizontal here, with the landing gear extended and the nose raised. Its 11.3-meter top marker is the vertical tail, rather than the tip of the movable nose.
Interpretive parked Concorde illustration in British Airways G-BOAG livery, with landing gear extended and the streamlined nose raised. Only the published ground-to-tail height is calibrated. The complete length-to-height silhouette ratio was checked against British Airways’s 62.1-meter length and 11.3-meter height; small airframe details, gear overlap and surface markings remain illustrative. This is not an engineering drawing or authentic photograph.
