Is killing the boom the key to supersonic air travel?
I would like to see supersonic travel come back.<p>But I would LOVE it if we could find a way to speed up the time spent at the airport. The amount of time I spend traveling to the airport, dropping off bags, queuing for security, getting pulled aside because I forgot I was wearing a belt that day, waiting for the gate to open, getting on a train to the gate, queuing to board the gate, getting on a BUS to the plane, queuing to get on the plane, waiting to put my overhead bags in the bins, waiting on the tarmac for the plan to find a free slot on the runway.<p>In the future I still have to do all this before we finally take off and travel at supersonic speed (yay), but then I land and basically have to do it all again.<p>Most of the time spent traveling by air is spent on the ground.
