Concorde’s carpet
(N.Z. Press Association > WELLINGTON. Special wool carpeting for the British-French Concorde must have 1 per cent of “give” to retain its appearance because the supersonic airliner stretches in flight. This was one of the requirements of a light-weight 80/20 carpet accepted by the British Aircraft Corporation for the Concorde, according to a statement from the Wool Board. The contract was awarded to Crossley Carpets in Great Britain.
