This British Man went on a retired Concorde airplane in Manchester, England, and was ‘shocked’ to find out something he never knew before.

The YouTuber, The MacMaster discovered that the iconic plane used to fly at twice the normal height of an airplane, and so it was subjected to far more radiation than a regular flight.

His discoveries explain why the Concorde’s pointed noise is so long and drooped, because it is travelling at high speed and a high height, but the point is to try to reduce the noise of the sonic boom because people complained.

Have a look inside Concorde and discover it’s secrets in the video above.
