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.
QE2's average speed (service speed) is 28.5 knots. A more interesting fact - however - is that the average speed over her entire 39 year service life - including time spent stationary in ports or when being refitted - was around 24 knots. This speed is actually faster than most cruise ships can achieve at maximum speed. The reason for QE2 having such a high speed is in order to be capable of maintaining a 5 night transatlantic crossing schedule - she needed 28 knots for that - but she needed more to 'catch up' if delayed, or caught in a storm etc.
Alaska, North Dakota, and Nevada were the only three states in the United States where the female population grew at a faster rate than the male population.
increasing performance of motor vehicles, increasing traffic, and increasing non-motorized vehicle (bicycles, pedestrians) traffic. For the last twenty years you can pretty much point to the increased revenue that tickets generate when the speed limits are set less than the roads can safely support and less than the speed at which most people are comfortable driving. For the last twenty years it has all been about generating revenue. increasing performance of motor vehicles, increasing traffic, and increasing non-motorized vehicle (bicycles, pedestrians) traffic.

The average speed of a curveball in baseball is typically around 75-85 miles per hour, but it can vary depending on the pitcher and level of play. The speed of a curveball is slower than a fast ball but the movement of the pitch can make it harder for batters to hit.
The opposite may be true, as we lefties are "pushing" over the writing, whereas right handed writing is "pulling away" from it. At the very least, right handed writing usually looks neater, any lefty who's ever used a pencil or slow-drying pen would probably agree. (Now for someone else's answer- a lefty) There is only one left handed person in my class-me. It was changed to that after my friend moved away because she was the only other person left handed. The teacher told us that my friend and i actually had the neatest handwriting in the class. She would be first place for neatest, my other friend ( a righty) would maybe be second, and me third out of seventeen. :)
Because Concorde travelled faster than the speed of sound!
The passenger airplane that flies faster than the speed of sound is called the Concorde.
No, the Tupolev Tu-144 was the only other commercial plane to date to fly faster then the speed of sound.
Concorde is a commercial supersonic aircraft that can travel at speeds over twice the speed of sound, but it cannot fly faster than the speed of light. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, nothing with mass can reach or exceed the speed of light in a vacuum.
Concorde, which is now retired, was the only commercial airliner that flew faster than the speed of sound.
In current use - no one. But the Concorde and its Russian counterpart were faster than the speed of sound.
The Concorde's cruising speed was over twice the speed of sound, around Mach 2 (more than 1,300 mph). The speed of sound at sea level is approximately 761 mph, so the Concorde flew significantly faster than the speed of sound.
Concorde was a passenger aircraft. It was developed by five different countries. It is the only passenger plane to fly faster than the speed of sound.
Anyone who wanted to and could pay for the ticket. People chose to travel by Concorde partly because it cut hours of the travel time, partly because of the novelty value of flying faster than the speed of sound.
its simple the sound barrier is broken :D
The Concorde was a commercial supersonic jet that traveled faster than the speed of sound. It had a top speed of around Mach 2, which is about 1,354 miles per hour.
No, but the CONCORDE flies faster than sound
