This specific airframe played a pivotal role in the flight test programme, proving the viability of sustained Mach 2 flight and testing the revolutionary digital air intake controls. She remains the fastest of all Concordes, having reached a record speed of Mach 2.23 in 1974, which is approximately 1,450 miles per hour.
