Concorde itself could have been much more efficient, there were plans for a "Concorde B" with high-bypass engines that would have carried a larger payload with additional range at higher efficiency.

The Mk622 engine was still a turbojet, albeit improved. Primarily its gains came from a more efficient compressor, providing more oxygen to the combustion chamber.

Running this in the browser console worked for me:

  $('video').remove()
(There aren't any other video elements.)

The Concorde B was a bandaid on a massive gaping wound.
