Concorde flew at 60,000 ft. I qoute " Although the Tornado could match Concordes cruising speed, it could only do so for a matter of minutes due to the enormous rate of fuel consumption. Several attempts were made to get the shot , eventually Concorde slowed down from Mach2 to Mach1.5-1.6 so the Tornado crew could take the shot.The Tornado had been completely stripped of everything non essential to enable it to get up to speed for as long as possible."

.357shooter 1,376 Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 the title says mach2 as 1350 mph so i am a little confused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greb147 6,810 Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Mach is not a set speed, it changes depending on the conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,864 Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 A mate went in the cock pit of concord and the pilots hat was stuck in a rack at the side. Apparently when flying in cabin changes size and it had trapped the hat forever. Sorry my comment wasn't as clever as discussions on speeds 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 11,397 Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 My old man was a leading MOD fire chief and blagged his way on the first flight Concorde took where other people other than the test pilots and crew were on it, used to go to loads of Air shows with him and every time we saw Concorde he'd tell us all about his flight on it... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
