You never know, years from now you might end up on a supersonic flight and look back at your savings as a fond memory. @lordmanilastone, I hope that you are able to reach your goal sooner rather than later.

It made no sense for something so functional to go backwards on the time line. I guess the question of demand always comes into play, but you would think that disruptive innovations in the field would push the price down over time? I'm not too sure about Hollywood, but I know that businessmen are taking a keep interest to it. Time is money and all that jazz. @Zath, so do I!

I hate it when technology seems to go backwards as was the case with air travel a few years ago with the end of Concorde. I can see lots of the mega-rich wanting one, perhaps hollywood stars, what's the betting John Travolta will want one to add to his fleet of aircraft? This is great news!

The other projects that have tried to rival it was the Soviet Tu-144, which was in place before the Concorde but was unstable and retired in 1978. American companies Lockheed, North American Aviation and Boeing created all the way up to the mock-up stage on the Boeing 2707, but it never caught on. It would have sat up to 300 people but the sonic booms that it created meant the aircraft was under too much scrutiny and was scrapped. @Butch, like I said, I really think it was a shame that there was so much development for supersonic flight and no follow through.

I've often wondered why the Concorde was never improved and taken to the next level. Maybe this will be a successful test bed and usher in the Age of Supersonic Flight 2.0! This is quite impressive.
