36、could fly at 2,180 km/h. The Concorde was the worlds fastest passenger plane between 1976 and 2003. But the Concorde was very noisy and its nose got dangerously hot when it flew. A Concorde crashed in 2000, killing 114 people. _18_19_ It stops the plane from overheating and having the same problems
