No mention of the massively increased fuel requirements for supersonic flight and its climate implications...
We really can't afford the aviations designs for massive growth of the sector.
But the richest 2% of us need to get to the climate change conference 50% faster. We’re very important & busy people.
It is truly despicable that as the rest of global society wrestles with the monumental task of moving away from fossil fuels our tax dollars are funding research to make the problem dramatically worse. I was perturbed enough when I heard the private sector was trying to bring this failed technology back. These researchers should be ashamed of themselves.
