The Concorde primarily traveled in the stratosphere, at altitudes around 60,000 feet (approximately 18,300 meters). This layer is situated above the troposphere and below the mesosphere, allowing the aircraft to achieve supersonic speeds while minimizing atmospheric drag. Operating in the stratosphere also helped the Concorde avoid most weather disturbances typically found in the lower atmosphere.
