1404 - OZONE

WhEn the Concorde aircraft took off it made a very loud noise. As a young man watching an early take off, my whole chest shook. The aircraft flew much faster and higher than conventional jet / turbo fan aircraft. It went up into the stratosphere and would occasionally pass through parts of the ozone layer. Whilst Concorde was a great success, ultimately its poor fuel consumption and unpopularity with those affected by the sonic boom caused it to be retired and used as museums.
