    Concorde's pressurisation was set to an altitude at the lower end of this range, 6,000 feet (1,800 m). [130] Concorde's maximum cruising altitude was 60,000 feet (18,000 m); subsonic airliners typically cruise below 44,000 feet (13,000 m).

    Supersonic aircraft have poor lift/drag ratios at subsonic speeds as compared to subsonic aircraft (unless technologies such as variable-sweep wings are employed), and hence burn more fuel, which results in their use being economically disadvantageous on such flight paths. Concorde had an overpressure of 1.94 lb/sq ft (93 Pa) (133 dBA SPL ...
