how fast does the concord fly?

Question

what is the speed of sound

Answer 1

Concorde flys mostly at mach 2 but can do mach 3 but it was never tested to full as it was found to be unstable and left it there, then they had the air france distaster and that stopped it dead in its track and also stopped concordes reputation.

Answer 2

I am afraid that these days the Concord doesn't fly very fast at all. It has been taken out of service with the final flights taking place Oct 24 2003. While in service the Concorde would normally cruise at speeds of around Mach 2, or twice the speed of sound.

The speed of sound depends on many conditions, & it's difficult to find a specific answer.
This site explains it fairly well.

Answer 3

The concorde flies at Mach 2.0 during its cruise. A normal aircraft would cruise around 0.85mach depending on their type. Mach is usually used during cruise so all aircrafts flying around have the same unit of measure and to avoid confusion. Mach 1 is the speed of sound. The concorde uses alot of thrust and after burners to fly at Mach2.0 thats twice the speed of sound while its cruising thus making the journey half way. They used to fly across the atlantic making trips from London's Heathrow to NewYork's JFK and return back.

Answer 4

The speed question has been answered, but the afterburner thing isn't true. Anyway, it's British so the Rolls-ROyce Olympus engines my dad built have reheat, not afterburner. Concorde cruised on dry power, no reheat, that's called Supercruise. More recently the Americans have tried to redefine supercruise as accelerating to and maintaining cruise speed without afterburner so that they could claim something special for the ATF, but they are too late by 30 years.

Answer 5

well currently the concorde's speed is 0 ph but before it was 1430 mph for cruising, and the take off is 584mph and landing is 178, the speed of sound is 755 mph

Answer 6

Take-off Speed:250 mph (402 kph)
Cruising Speed 1,336 mph (2,150 kph)Mach 2
Altitude55,000 feet

The speed varies depending on atmospheric conditions; the most important factor is the temperature. Humidity has little effect on the speed of sound, nor does air pressure per se.

The speed of sound in dry air is given approximately by

where TC is the celsius temperature,
so that at temperature __C = __F,
the speed of sound is __m/s = __ft/s = __mi/hr.

This calculation is usually accurate enough, but for great precision one must examine the more general relationship for sound speed in gases. This sound speed does not apply to gases other than air, for example the helium from a balloon.

It is important to note that the sound speed in air is determined by the air itself. It is not dependent upon the sound amplitude, frequency or wavelength.

History:
The Concorde was a Franco-British project and the first
commercial supersonic jet. It was designed for transatlantic flights,
in particular for linking New York and major European cities.
an undeniable technological success, the Concord is one of a kind.
The Concorde, the flagship of the British Airways and Air France fleet,
is the world's only supersonic passenger aircraft.
This delta-wing jet holds many world records,including fastest crossing
of the Atlantic from New York to London in 2 hours 54 minutes and 45 seconds.
Air France Concorde :
March 1969 : - Concorde 001 first flight, in Toulouse France.
Pilot: Andre' Turcat.
October 1969 : - First Flight at Mach 1
November 1970 : - First flight at Mach 2
January 1976 : - First Commercial Flight Paris/Dakar/Rio route
November 1977 : - Daily service Paris/New York.
October 24, 2003 : - Last flight JFK to London

The Concorde carries its own weight in fuel (105 tons)
The Concorde stretches 6 to 10 inches in flight due to the heating of the airframe.
The skin temperature reaches 260 degrees Fahrenheit at Mach 2
BA's Concorde have carried 2.5 million passengers.
Travelling westward, the Concorde lands at a local time earlier than the local time where it took off.
British Airways predecessor BOAC accepted its first supersonic passenger reservation in 1960;
service was inaugurated in 1976 (to Bahrain).
If at Mach 2, you putted a golf ball from the back of the cabin to the front,
it would be a very long putt indeed - the plane would have traveled five miles as the ball rolled.

Answer 7

Doesn't fly no more. All the Concords were grounded because the airlines had trouble making money off them.

Answer 8

At cruising speed, concord flies at about 2330km/hour or Mach 2.2.

Answer 9

Concorde has been ground after the disaster happen!!

Answer 10

Zero...

all concords have been out of service for that last couple of year.
