@martin Now with the addition of “urgent” passengers, I think the concorde now makes a lot more sense

Do you think this idea is worth revisiting?

I keep getting side tracked and I meant to answer this previously.

I looked into the available data for the Concorde when you asked previously. The short answer is there isnt enough data to get to the 1.5 performance standard. The highly variable fuel burn rate based on when the aircraft goes supersonic makes it a bit difficult to calculate range values.

Based on what I’ve learned so far during my research for the 1.5 and 2.0 performance systems, the Concorde would definitely be a type that might work with the 2.0 system, but even then might require special tweaks, as aircraft performance changes considerably once supersonic.
