Between courses I looked up and saw that we had reached Mach 2—1,350 mph, faster than Earth rotates. Our altitude varied between 52,000 and 59,000 feet, far above the rest of the air traffic.

“Realistically, Mach 2.0 at 60 000 feet is well within the operational envelope of an SR-71, but it’s more the logistics of a double refueling that would have been a problem.

I believe for a NY-London traverse an SR-71 had to refuel once in the middle, but for the rest it sustained close to Mach 3.2. So a parallel flight with Concorde was not out of question, but ...

The Concorde was a technological marvel that defined the golden age of supersonic travel. A joint venture between Britain and ...

Concorde didn’t offer tiered seating divided up by first, business, or economy classes. A $10,000 round-trip ticket bought a seat in the only class available: supersonic. The interior was cramped.

Alice Lloyd George is an early stage investor based in New York and the host of Flux, a series of podcast conversations with leaders in frontier technology. For 27 years, supersonic travel was a ...

For comparison, the famous Concorde hit speeds of Mach 2.04 or 1,354mph. But the X-59 has the upper hand in this race because its cutting-edge design is designed to emit a sonic boom no louder ...

The Lego Concorde hasn’t been officially revealed yet, but has apparently leaked through toy news outlet 9to5Toys. Set number 10318 consists of 2,083 pieces, and pays tribute to the west’s ...

Supersonic jet backed by Branson aims to be next Concorde, offering ‘affordable’ flights at Mach 2.2. ... The Concorde was also a gas-guzzler and a money-loser for Airbus.

Boom expects the Overture – with an eventual top speed of Mach 2.2 – to fly in the mid-2020s and sell for $200 million (£158 million) each. Customers all reportedly be set back $5,000 (£ ...

We had Concorde — a Mach 2 passenger airplane — flew it for 30 years and never took it mainstream. Now it’s in museums. A visualization of the Boom plane.
