The Concorde nose droops for two reasons: it's not possible to see the ground at the normal Vtt attitude of 10.5 degrees with the nose raised, also the nose droops to 12.5 degrees at its full down position, which just happens to be the pitch attitude at which the pilot will scrape the tail on landing.. So (looking down the drooped nose) not only do the pilots have vision of the ground and airfield, but they have an instant visual guide to where they don't want to be in the last second or so before landing.
