  1. I don't think they will, it's simply not profitable, and there are very few regions where one is allowed to fly supersonic.


  2. I think you jest.

    Concorde is not being replaced and that is the end of the matter.

  3. A few years ago there was announcements of a French aircraft company getting together with a Russian company to build a supersonic business jet.  While they claim that there is a market for such an aircraft apparently the market is not large enough for the concept to have come to fruition.  

    .

    Various articles have appeared in print claiming that they are close to designing supersonic aircraft that have little or or no sonic boom.  

    .

    This weekends announcement from the U.K. about a new mach 5 transport design that will no doubt be forgotten before long.  

    .

    In the 90s NASA did research with a Russian SST the TU144.  The conclusion?  Excess fuel burn is an insurmountable obstacle to the economic viability of supersonic aircraft. In plain talk "they are by nature, gas guzzlers".

    .

  4. the concord has been taken out of servise but i dont know why

  5. That odd pain that you feel in your nether regions is the result of having your leg pulled--really hard.

    There will be no more supersonic flight other than by the military.  Sorry.
