What about radiation levels?

One of the case studies I did when at University was the radiation
levels experienced by Concorde crews (because it cruised at 60,000ft),
so it is something they've been taking into account for a very long

Lead perhaps, not something one often sees structurally on planes.

I'm not suggesting it would block it completely, but a sheet of aluminium
