Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Really? ANOTHER cool
proposal for a supersonic airliner?
The faster the better?
How much extra would you pay on top of the standard air fare, not the low fares
you are accustomed to purchase, to shorten say, a ten-hour transoceanic flight
to three hours?
Do you remember the fact
that such supersonic flight was regularly operated between New York and London
and Paris decades ago? Does “Concord” ring a bell?
The exotic supersonic jet
flew twice faster at almost 50% higher altitude than B747s. The aircraft’s narrow
body accommodated only about 100 economy-size seats at the price of first
class. It sounds like a super sports car like Ferrari or something, doesn’t it?
Slower but roomier and cheaper,
or faster but smaller and costlier?
Enjoy reading and
thinking what would make you take a supersonic flight.
