I still say Concorde would be impractical for freighter use… because of the position of the wings, you couldn’t install a side door, so any cargo carried in the cabin (as opposed to the luggage compartment) would have to be loaded through the pax doors, one item at a time, and by hand. You’d surely lose any time gained in flight by having to load the aircraft this way. Plus the Additional cost of fuel, and I really think the whole FedEx idea wasn’t thought through and was totally stillborn.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.
