In MACH 2.3 Supersonic flight, Concorde heated (air friction) so the fuselage extended by 6 inches. Engineers allowed for this by designing this expansion into the space between the Navigator/Radio Operator and the Cockpit/Passenger Bulkhead. If you visit one of the Museums where Concorde is housed, on entering the Flight Deck/Cockpit, the six inch space is on your starboard( right) side. (at MACH 2.3 that 6 inches was reduced to zero).
@letsseeif the facts are mostl, correct, but it's exactly the opposite: The 6 inch gap was there when she was at Mach2+, but on the ground the gap was closed. Some of the flight engineers stuck their hat in that gap on the fi al supersonic flight, where it became clamped when the aircraft was grounded forever.
What good quality
