Concorde flew at the cruising speed of Mach 2, twice the speed of sound, where even small increases in drag would have had a significant impact on fuel burn and range. A wider cross-section would have ...

Flight engineers were crucial to the operation. And on top of that, Concorde was a “dynamic” aircraft, as Hazelby puts it, operating unlike any other commercial plane.

In May 2024, I toured a Concorde jet at the Intrepid Museum in New York City. The sea, air, and space museum is housed on a 900-foot-long aircraft carrier. Take a look inside.
