The SST did not happen because of not being able to, there was a lot of
public
opposition for environmental reasons.

I was always a bit sceptical whether those public objections would have
been
allowed to hold sway if it had been a Boeing SST though! Especially as
they
were later rescinded anyway..

But the American SST program was Boeing...

Uh-huh. But it was already cancelled by that time IIRC
