The Concorde's maximum speed was at Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph). It's cruising speed was at Mach 2.02 (1,340 mph).
The Concorde holds the record for the fastest flight from London to New York. The flight of February 7, 1996 took a record 2 hours and 53 minutes, with the aircraft traveling at Mach 2 speed – about 2,125 km/h.
Yes. The Concorde jet is the only passenger jet that has exceeded the Sound Barrier. The speed of the flight must exceed atleast 720 miles per hour and the Concorde can almost double that. Since there is a booming noise that is loud enough to shake houses, the Concorde is only allowed to fly over the ocean. It travels from New York to Europe, or vice versa.
No. The Concorde flew faster than the speed of sound. Nothing can move faster than the speed of light.
The Concorde was a supersonic plane, the plane took off 220 knots (250 MPH). Cruises at around 1350mph. A typical London to New York crossing would take a little less than three and a half hours as opposed to about eight hours for a subsonic flight.
Currently there are no regular vehicles that are faster than the speed of sound, although both the Concorde, and its Russian copy were faster than the speed of sound. There are plenty of military aircraft that are faster than the speed of sound. All spacecraft capable of reaching orbit are faster than the speed of sound. There have been two or three experimental vehicles, "cars", that have gone faster than the speed of sound as well.
220 Kts is the take off speed of the Concorde.
The average crusing speed of Concorde was more than twice the speed of sound - Mach2.2 (After Earnest Mach).or 1330 mph
The Concorde flew at Mach 2. This means it flew two times more than the speed of sound. It was the fastest passenger aircraft ever built.
The Concorde was .
The maximum operational cruising speed of the Concorde was about 2170 km/h (1350 mph), more than twice the speed of sound at the Cocorde's normal altitude of around 60,000 feet.
The Concorde was the first and only supersonic passenger airliner. Many other airplanes -- mainly military -- before and after it far exceeded its speed.
It did, the Concorde travelled at 60,000 feet and it's cruising speed was 1,350 MPH. It went higher because of its higher cruising speed.
Because Concorde travelled faster than the speed of sound!
If you mean what was so special about Concorde then, Concorde went mach 2 that's twice the speed of sound, it carried people that fast. Really I think its amazing! :)
The Concorde flew faster than the speed of sound, the only commercial airliner (other than the Soviet Tu-144) that could. The Concorde's cruising speed was 2170 kilometres per hour (1,350 mph), which is Mach 2.04 at a cruising altitude of 56000 feet.
Twice the speed of sound. Mach 2 :)
Cconcorde top speed is 2.03 mach.
