Concorde could stretch by about 10 inches (25 centimeters) during flight due to the heat generated by air friction at high speeds. The aircraft was designed with a flexible structure to accommodate this expansion, which allowed it to maintain structural integrity and stability while cruising at supersonic speeds. This phenomenon is a common characteristic in many high-speed aircraft due to thermal expansion.
