The Concorde was built for the specific purpose to fly across the
Atlantic.  Boeing on the other hand built the 747 SP for a long
haul passenger aircraft, and claims that it is the fastest plane
available for flights over 8,000 miles (non-stop from New York to
Hong Kong).  Of course that's still a 13+ hour flight : )
