The Concorde jet operated at supersonic speeds, which made it capable of flying above the speed of sound. However, flying at lower altitudes would have resulted in increased drag and fuel consumption, diminishing its efficiency and performance. Additionally, regulatory restrictions and noise concerns, particularly over land, limited its operational altitude and routes. Therefore, maintaining higher altitudes was essential for optimizing its speed and fuel efficiency.
What else can I help you with?
Is the Concorde a jet?
The Concorde was a jet. It is no longer being made or used.
What was the last service date for the Concorde jet?
Concorde jet's last flight was November 26, 2003. It is also considered and known as the Concorde Jets retirement flight and was not flown anymore since then.
Is their a passenger jet in service that is as fast as the Concorde?
no. And there never will be again Im sure. As a matter of fact EADS are developing a faster supersonic commercial jet that can travel up to 1.6 mach or more
Which is faster a jet or Concorde?
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.
What does a Concorde jet not have that a regular jet does have?
Overdrive afterburners, and supersonic flight capability- It is, alas, obsolete.
What two countries agreed to develop the Concorde jet in 1962?
France and Great Britain jointly developed the Concorde.
Into which layer of the atmosphere are jet airplane able to travel?
The stratosphere
What is the name of the french supersonic jet?
The British/French Concorde
How many people can a French Concorde jet hold?
The French Concorde jet typically had a seating capacity of around 100 to 120 passengers, depending on the specific configuration chosen by the airline. Most configurations featured a layout that included both first-class and business-class seating, as the Concorde was primarily used for premium travel. Its design focused on providing a luxurious experience rather than maximizing passenger numbers.
The Concorde began its regular service in 1936 or 1956 or 1976?
You listed this is the Chrysler Concorde category but I suspect you are referring to the Concorde Jet airplane. The jet was not even invented in 1936, and was a very new technology in 1953. The first Concorde prototype was produced in 1966. The first Concorde put into service began in 1976. The First Chrysler Concorde vehicle was sold as a 1993 model in 1992..
What has the author C A Sharp written?
C. A. Sharp has written: 'Concorde' -- subject(s): Bibliography, Concorde (Jet transports)
Will there be a concord 2?
The Concorde is an obsolete jet due to many design flaws, however. There is a project called the Aroura, a design in the works of making a passenger jet at estimated double the speed of a Concorde.
