An Idea Whose Time Has Come? Supersonic Bizjets

There weren't enough people with that attitude to keep the Concorde
flying, but it was a bigger AC.

I thought it was not going to be supported because it was too old to keep
being repaired, and the makers did not want to make that much effort. Was
it not still being used close to capacity? I thought it was.

Plus the fact that it was not being used for continental use. A fast US
cross country use would be an entirely new service. To be able to go from
many cities in the US, to many other cities would be a valuable service for
the big wigs of the country.

You are correct. We shall see! :-)

The Concorde was an economic losser for a bunch of reasons, but mostly
because it used too much fuel, nobody would let it fly supersonic over
their country, and it couldn't cross the Pacific.

About the only thing that kept it flying as long as it did was the
national prides of England and France.

Lots of "ifs" in that and the US isn't the only potential market, so...
