A few technical details

Concorde (204 ft) is almost as long as regular long-haul aircraft (the B747 is 220 ft) but not nearly as wide (82ft).

One of the different particularities of Concorde is its delta wing which is the most appropriate form for supersonic passenger, as it combines high camber with a relatively thin and low elongation (we can see on the plan that wing is also used to stock fuel).

Another particularity of this airplane is its nose: when taking off and landing, the Concorde flies at a step angle which makes the pilot difficult to see. To increase visibility during taking off and landing, the pilot tilts the whole nose down by 12.5 degrees. On top of it, to Mach 2.02 (1,330 mph) and 59,000 ft of altitude at the time of the crossing of the Atlantic, the friction of the air heats the point of the nose with 266°F. Concorde stretches in length by up to 9.44 inch max (see the document to know the others functions of the nose).

Finally, much of Concorde's success lies in the excellence of the four Rolls-Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593 MK (sorry for this complex name) engines which power it.
