Having been able to park my ample but firm rear end on the sumptuous Soft grey leather seats just rear of the port side wing on Concord, I marveled at the feel of acceleration to reach the ability to throttle back so as not to blast eardrums of mere earthling looking like ants below us, but once high enough to pass over 2x Mount Everests I read that the air intakes at supercruise presented air to the engines as though it was only doing 300knts, all done with baffles and trapdoors..
I am sure somebody will be able to jump on me to correct this, for like my Winkle Brown book I cannot put my hand onto that Concord publication.
But to the rest of the World.."Eat ya heart out Baby", the Brits and the Froggys developed an aircraft that broke all records
