A glimpse into activities aboard a Concorde during an around the world tour.
This Model Aircraft flies at twice the speed of sound (Mach 2), which is around 1350 mph (depending on the temperature of the surrounding air). Take-off and landing speeds are considerably higher than for traditional subsonic aircraft.
The range of the aircraft, with 100 passengers and 9 crew, under the correct conditions is about 4,500 miles. The maximum height Concorde can fly to is 60,000 ft (over 11 miles high). With some restrictions on load, the aircraft easily flies the 4250 mile trip to Barbados.
The outside temperature on the tip of Concorde's nose can reach 127 degrees Celcius (260 degrees Fahrenheit) due to the friction of the air at high speed.
