Mach-9 12-passenger jet will fly from New York to Tokyo in one hour
Without clicking through, I suspect the source (a wealth-worshiping publication) totally elides the economic aspects here. We <i>had</i> commercial supersonic flight in the Concorde, but it just wasn&#x27;t economically feasible at scale.<p>Turns out, going faster than about 500MPH isn&#x27;t something most people are willing to pay for. OTOH, (rich) people WILL pay for being more comfortable while it happens, which is the direction commercial aviation has gone for a couple decades now.
