Default Concorde - join the campaign

Depends on how you get there. Back of the envelope, 1/2 G of thrust would get
the plane up to cruise speed in about 10 minutes. Cabin gravity would be at
about 1.12 Gs total. Mind you, it'd be a pretty steep "slope". :-)


That would be no worse than a bit uncomfortable for most people. The more
interesting scenario is at the other end. Negative 0.5G horizontal would
probably require flipping the seats around so you face aft. The
alternative would be to truss up all the pax like chickens on a spit to
keep their limbs from flopping around.
