Concorde, amazing aircraft. Pilots described it as being the passenger aircraft equivalent of a ferrari. The whole airframe was designed to compress at supersonic speeds, not sure on the exact figure but the length of the plane actually stretches a little over mach 1.
Very small and cramped, but who cares when it only takes a couple of hours to get there as opposed to 8!
