When Condorde was in service, wasn't it expensive to fly on? Do they think they can get people to pay that much? Then again, people are paying over $10K for first class on some flights.

I saw their Tupolev SST - a copy of the Concorde - crash at Le Bourget airfield.

Didn't they already try making a supersonic jet during the Cold War?

I wish them success. It would be really cool if international flight times (North America to Europe, North America to Asia, Asia to Europe, etc) could be reduced to 6 hours or less. I understand the technical hurdles of designing, building and maintaining a SST, but you'd think by now, we'd have figured out how to do it cost effectively.

if Soviet Union didn't crash on 1991, the would have used Tu-204 instead of A321
