So you're saying the Concorde could surrender to itself? Thats schizoid even 
for Europe.

NASA has recently tried the "flying without wings" trick. They
were no more 
successful at it than was Harry Houdini...and that is an ugly story involving 
a galvanized bucket, two industrial bungee cords, a leather sofa, a box of 
toothpicks, 2 female assistants, 36 turkeys, a sequined shirt from Madam 
Sophie's, and - according to some rumors - a significant amount of Scotch.
