That's just averages though isn't it?
Look at the relative miles flown by each design. There must be 10,000 boeings flying every day, and only 6 Concordes in total.

in a way yes
but how many boeings were engineered to deal with the stresses of supersonic flight?
excluding jet fighters

Well,
being as they don't fly at supersonic speeds, not very many I shouldn't think. My Skoda isn't engineered to do 200mph.
