Concorde is a tailless aircraft design with a narrow fuselage permitting 4-abreast seating for 92 to 128 passengers, an ogival delta wing and a droop nose for landing visibility. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojets with variable engine intake ramps , and reheat for take-off and acceleration to supersonic speed.
These factors together meant that the empty weight per seat of Concorde is more than three times that of a Boeing 747. Concorde and the Tu-144 were both constructed of conventional aluminum: Concorde of Hiduminium and Tu-144 of duralumin. Modern, advanced materials were not to come out of development for a few decades.
Passenger capacity was roughly double that of Concorde, seating 200 passengers; it was speculated that up to 250 could be accommodated on a shorter range ATSF variant. [3] The basic configuration of the ATSF was broadly similar to Concorde, even to the point of intentionally mimicking design features such as its nose and cockpit. [3]
