Inside the Concorde
There were 20 planes,in service 27 years with only one accident.
The supersonic jet offered a luxurious and speedy trip across the Atlantic at a speed of 2 times the speed of sound. Flying at 660 to 750 miles per hour.
The Concorde could fly from London to New York and then return in the time it took for a conventional aircraft to go one way. In about 2hours 52 minutes and 59 seconds.
With four Rolls Royce engines and a cruise speed of 1354 miles per hour, you were flying at 60, 000 feet. That is about 5 miles above the other plane traffic.
