    I wish them luck. Even if it enters production, like the Concorde, few
    would be able to afford a ticket:

    We've been hearing talk about supersonic bizjets for years:

    Maybe the Russkies will try a shortcut to the next "Concordeski".
    "Tupolev Deputy CEO for Design and R&D, Valery Solozobov, told TASS
    that his company has received requests from wealthy individuals to
    convert the firm’s supersonic bombers into private business jets.":

    I'm sure Oleg Smirnoff will be cheering them on...




    Like manned space flight, another field where
    America has ceded leadership to Russia........

    Thank the free market.

    NASA has figured out how to make supersonic aircraft and just about every way to
    blow up a rocket on the launchpad. The research is available to the public; if there is market for these things, why not let private capital and entrepreneurs take up the challenge?

    Russkies tend to sweep their explosions under the rug:
