British Airways Concorde Rolls Royce 58 Hiduminium skin section

British Airways Concorde Rolls Royce 58 Hiduminium skin section

One of the most incredible releases we have ever had- Concorde Rolls Royce 58 Hiduminium skin ❤️✈️

This metal, previously owned by British Airways and sourced from the very last interior designers of Concorde for BA, was used as additional stock of skin to replace any sections that became corroded or damaged in flight due to the speed the aircraft flew at and how often they had to be replaced/repaired.

The nominal percentage composition of RR58 is 2.5 copper, 1.5 magnesium, 1.0 iron, 1.2 nickel, 0.2 silicon, 0.1 titanium and the remainder aluminium. The sheet is clad with aluminium in which there is 1.0 per cent zirconium. The general distribution of materials in the airframe is shown in the photo attached. Hiduminium-RR58 is used for the majority of the structure, steel for sections subjected to higher temperatures and the highest loads and resin bonded glass fibre for the extreme nose section, where the skin temperature is highest.

The panel these cuts are from is labelled E/13/A/14 which can be traced as exclusively for Concorde use and had the aircraft continued to fly this panel would no doubt have ended up forming a replacement part of one of the BA fleet. To be clear- these sections are unflown.

Approx 9.5cm square, they are very limited in quantity and come with an exclusively designed certificate of authenticity.

Photos are examples and show these photographed onboard, outside and on some of the tyres and landing gear of G-BOAC. Price is for one.

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to own a piece of this incredible material used to construct these stunning aircraft.
