Airflow through the (Concorde) power plant

Demonstration of airflow throughout Concorde power plant in different stages of flight. As the Concorde's engine could only use air flowing at about 300 miles per hour at the fastest, the power plant includes adjustable ramps to slow down airflow from Concorde's top speed of ~1300 mph to a usable range. Also include reverse thrust demonstrations.
