Concorde speeds vary widely depending on temperature,

pressure altitude, wind, takeoff weight, runway length,

runway slope, and runway conditions.

Pilots calculate speeds using complicated charts and tables.

The speeds below are approximations.

Maximum authorized takeoff weight is 185,070 kg. (407,154 lbs.).

When flying the Concorde in Flight Simulator (406,003 lbs.),

use speeds toward the higher

end of the ranges provided.
