The prototype lifted off, hovered and flew at a speed of 40 knots before landing. The pilot then increased acceleration with a target of seven knots ground speed. But as it passed through 2 to 4 knots, there was a loud POP. This caused a loss of thrust from motors 4 and 7. A propeller blade flew off of EPU3.

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift.

Almost eight times as much fuel is needed to propel an airplane at 400 knots as at 200. Approaching and passing through Mach 1, however, an airplane acquires, in addition to the drag it already has, a new kind of drag, called wave drag. Being limited to subsonic speed over land was a fatal disadvantage for Concorde.

Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. Horizontal wind speeds near the surface can be as fast as 45 knots, resulting in a 90-knot wind shear from headwind to tailwind across the microburst.
