It's possible that Concorde was given a mission, for political reasons, that made no sense. Cut the flight time NYC > London in half. Big deal: it's only seven hours. Three or seven the day is pretty much spent in travel. Where they - my opinion - should have aimed Concorde was the Pacific. LA to Sydney is a 14 and 1/2 hour flight. Cut that to seven? Put another shrimp on the barbie. Granted, the actual Concorde we got did not have the range. I wonder if the designers could have done something about that.
