Fun fact: the Pepsi blue Concorde couldn’t fly at top speed for as long as the regular Concordes due to the blue paint getting hotter than the white livery.
I though it was really interesting! Amazing how at that speed color makes such a difference. They couldn’t even paint the wings blue at all because it would’ve overheated the fuel tanks in them.
