The Concorde flew in the stratosphere primarily to reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency, as the thinner air at higher altitudes allowed for faster speeds without encountering significant resistance. Additionally, flying in the stratosphere enabled the aircraft to avoid much of the weather-related turbulence found in the lower atmosphere and to achieve supersonic speeds, which contributed to its iconic ability to travel faster than sound. This altitude also helped minimize the impact of noise pollution on populated areas during takeoff and landing.
