The British Airways Concorde was famous for crossing the Atlantic faster than the speed of sound. Passengers could fly from London to New York in under 3 hours, land at a local time earlier than when they took off, and watch the curvature of the Earth at 60,000 feet.
Friction at Mach 2 got so hot that the plane actually stretched up to 10 inches longer in mid-air.
Only 20 were ever built, making flying it so exclusive that there were officially fewer Concorde pilots in history than NASA astronauts. It had military-style afterburners and a nose that pointed downward during landing just so the pilots could see the runway.
Proof that no matter how fast you travel, you’re never too far away from a DJ.
