Concorde is the world's only supersonic passenger aircraft, cruising at more than twice the speed of sound at around 1350 mph, and at an altitude of up to 60,000 feet (over 11 miles high).

Restricted view: Concorde's windows were much smaller than those on a normal passenger airplane. They needed to withstand temperatures of up to 117 C when the Concorde flew supersonic.

Concorde's aerodynamic, narrow body restricted space for passengers. British Airways planes seated only 100, while Air France planes, with a slightly roomier cabin layout, sat just 92.
