Do the Russians not have anything else to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) Considering how badly their last one worked (which could remain supersonic only by continual use of the afterburner) im not holding my breath. The American one lost one of the major launch customers, I think it was Virgin Atlantic. There were deep questions whether they could continue without them IIRC. Besides, I think the time of SST's has come and gone. In an area of team calls, businessmen have no pressing need to be on the other side of the planet yesterday. And actors and the glitterati, whom were Concordes staple in its existence, would these days probably prefer Emirates style comfort than sitting in a small tube, no matter how fast it is. I question whom this is aimed at. Edited August 2 by Stuart Galbraith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
