The Concorde was a supersonic plane, the plane took off 220 knots (250 MPH). Cruises at around 1350mph. A typical London to New York crossing would take a little less than three and a half hours as opposed to about eight hours for a subsonic flight.

The top speed of Concorde was approximately 1,354 mph (2,180 km/h) or Mach 2, twice the speed of sound.
The Concorde had a cruising speed of around Mach 2, which is roughly 1,354 miles per hour or 2,180 kilometers per hour. It was known for being one of the fastest commercial aircraft in operation.
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, this does not mean that the 747 travels at the speed of sound. The 747's travel time is simply longer due to its slower speed compared to Concorde. Concorde's speed is faster than the speed of sound, allowing it to reach New York in half the time of a 747.
The Concorde's record in terms of speed was Mach 2.04, which is approximately 1,354 miles per hour or 2,180 kilometers per hour. This supersonic passenger jet was known for its ability to travel faster than the speed of sound.
Concorde was able to break the sound barrier by using powerful engines and a sleek design that minimized aerodynamic drag. By generating sufficient thrust and overcoming drag, Concorde was able to reach speeds beyond the speed of sound, allowing it to break the sound barrier.
