then why did Concorde never earn out? Simple: because it was much more
difficult to operate than the initial projections (sound familiar?), and
thus the airfare was so outrageously high that very few people found it
useful.

I would have at least liked to see Boeing follow through with its
"Sonic Cruiser" concept. It would have been a small step in the right
direction. If Cessna can design the Citation X business jet to fly at
Mach 0.95 economically, surely the technology exists to design a
commercial airliner that can do the same!
