Sorry mate, I dispute that 'fact' :)

Whilst at supersonic speeds (+1,238 kmh) Concorde would actually get longer, as much as .3m (just under 12 inches).

This was due to the heat that was generated though, so there may be some truth in what you say but only until you get to supersonic speeds (maybe?)...

hmmm, anybody qualified enough to clarify this?

:scratch2:

The SR-71 also had this issue.

Due to Heating from the compression of the air and friction heating.

Most of the leading edges and such were made of titanium and composite material.

Now my useless fact.

Most of the titanium for the SR-71 came from Russia, and after the plane was built, many of it's missions were over Russia.
