New York
The Concorde flew fast enough that passengers on westbound flights from London or Paris to New York could see the sun rise again after takeoff, as it moved faster than Earth's rotation at that latitude.
Infact verdict: True (91/100).
The claims about the Concorde's speed and its effects on the perception of the sun are supported by reliable sources. The Concorde flew at speeds exceeding Mach 2, which allowed it to travel faster than the Earth's rotation at certain latitudes. This speed enabled passengers to experience phenomena such as seeing the sun rise again during westbound flights. The evidence from high-quality sources like Wikipedia and British Airways confirms these claims.
