If you add up all the costs involved with Concorde and all the revenues
the
costs exceed revenue. If you wish, you can ignore certain costs and claim
a
profit.

Yes, but that goes for a lot of the aerospace industry. In fact,
something I saw recently, if you take the whole airline industry
over the years, the costs exceed the revenue. Air travel as a
whole has been non-profitable (if taken as an entity) since it
began. Of course profits have been made, but so have losses.
Doesn't mean air travel should be scrapped.

On an operating basis, Concorde was profitable until the decline
brought upon by 11th of September.
