The Concorde (Concord by the British spelling) is certificated to fly at a maximum altitude of 60,000 feet. It normally cruises at between 55,000 and 60,000 feet.
British Air also used the French spelling Concorde.
The Concorde's maximum cruise altitude was 18,300 metres (60,000 feet), and its speed was an average cruise speed of Mach 2.02 (about 2,140 km/h or 1,330 mph).
High and fast
The Concorde no longer flies because it needs lots of fuel to fly
can passenger planes fly at 59000 feet high? A: While MOST do not fly that high, at least one could- the Concorde- a supersonic passenger jet, had a maximum cruise ceiling of 60,039 ft.
No
Yes, the Concorde did fly in the stratosphere. Its cruising altitude typically ranged between 50,000 and 60,000 feet, which is well above the troposphere and into the lower stratosphere. This high altitude allowed the Concorde to achieve its supersonic speeds while minimizing air resistance and maximizing fuel efficiency.
The last Concorde flight was on November 26, 2003.
This depends on the jet. Most modern jet fighters are supersonic, however the high altitudes capable by Concorde mean it can fly generally faster due to the thinner air.
