How many gallons of fuel does the Concorde jet guzzle per takeoff?

The Concorde did not guzzle fuel; on the contrary, as a supersonic passenger airliner, it was designed for efficiency and thus had lower fuel consumption compared to traditional subsonic aircraft. The Concorde's fuel consumption varied depending on several factors, including the flight distance and weight. However, on average, it consumed approximately 11,500 gallons (43,500 liters) of fuel during takeoff and climb to cruising altitude.
