Estimate from the variant's published specs, 0-5; scores are only comparable within one criteria year. Variant: production Concorde 100/102 (Olympus 593 Mk.610, MTOW 185,066 kg), British Airways/Air France 100-seat layout. Range: 3,900 nm (This Day in Aviation) -> 2.5. Capacity: 100 seats (AP, 2001) -> 1. Efficiency: AFP/The Citizen 14-17 L per passenger per 100 km at ~20 t fuel/h; cross-check 20,000 kg/h / 0.8 kg/L = 25,000 L/h at ~2,120 km/h = 11.8 L/km = 11.8 L/seat/100 km (100 seats) -> 0 either way. Speed: cruise Mach 2.02 (5 on the same anchor; a supersonic is off the subsonic scale). Runway: 3,600 m (11,800 ft) at max load from the Wikipedia infobox (not an airport-planning chart) -> 1. Comfort: 2.62 m internal width; reviews split (tiny windows, noise vs smooth, roomy feel) -> 3.[2]
In the tiny cockpit for the two pilots and a flight engineer who sat sideways behind them, facing his instrument panels on the right, the noise level was low enough to permit conversation with only a slight voice rise.
The feeling of speed during acceleration phases was just tremendous. The plane performed like no subsonic plane could perform.
The cabin was really like a tube, pretty narrow and the windows are tiny. Interestingly enough, it does not give you the feeling of being too cramped. After I sat down it actually felt quite roomy.
It was noisy, extremely noisy, but I challenge anybody not to have a smile from ear to ear when they got on it.
The aircraft's narrow cabin, limited seat recline, and small windows would seem outdated by modern standards.

La prima voce è sempre la fonte del pin. L’affidabilità complessiva è una media ponderata di quanto ogni fonte conferma gli orari di inizio e fine indicati sopra; una fonte conta la metà per ogni 180 giorni in più rispetto alla più recente.
Wikipedia[2][3][4]: «Il Concorde ha iniziato i voli di linea con British Airways e Air France il 21 gennaio 1976», sulle rotte Londra-Bahrein e Parigi-Rio.
Entered service 21 January 1976; DC, JFK start dates; cost overruns.[1]

Manca qualcosa o c’è un errore? Dillo con parole tue: un link che conferma questo pin, una data di inizio o fine diversa e perché, o un fatto che manca o è sbagliato. L’IA lo confronta con le fonti del pin, ne cerca di migliori e aggiunge qualsiasi pagina ti dia ragione. Le fonti del pin contano comunque di più. Anche un’immagine che mostra altro, o lo mostra male, viene esaminata e spostata in basso o sostituita.
