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 ...
