Yes, the Concorde did experience a phenomenon known as thermal expansion when it flew. As it reached high speeds and altitudes, the temperature of its fuselage increased, causing the materials to expand. This expansion was accounted for in its design, allowing the aircraft to maintain structural integrity during flight.
