HC Deb 10 April 1968 vol 762 c258W
63. Mr. Rankin

asked the President of the Board of Trade what effect modifying the engines of Concorde, in order to reduce noise, will have on the certification of the aircraft.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Concorde will be required to meet the standards of airworthiness and performance deemed necessary for modern aircraft and any modifications to the engines, in order to reduce noise, will not affect the minimum standards required for certification purposes.
