I miss the concord jet. It was an incredibly fast way to travel and it's a real shame that it had to be scrapped due to the crash in Paris. I miss it
The flights from New York to Paris that concord regularly flew were indeed excellent and incredibly effecient methods of getting from point a to b. The fact that it was done at supersonic speeds only made it more attractive. It was truly a revolution. Behind able to get to the other side of the world in a few hours rather than almost a day was an incredible technologically advancement.
The boom that concord made when it broke the speed of sound is truly missed from the sky, and flights from Phoenix to Dublin seem so unnecessarily long, no that we know just how fast planes are able to travel. So it's a shame that progress has been stopped. But there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. In 50 years you may be able to get from London to Australia in only a couple of hours through scramjet technology that will turn supersonic to hypersonic.
The soaring speed of these jets will be just incredible, and though the planes would be useless for flights from San Jose to Orlando where it would take so long to get up to top speed, there will be many reason in favor of using the planes. Businessmen will certainly consider the benefits that such planes could provide. After all, time is indeed money and this would save a lot of time. But then the flights would cost such an incredible amount that I'm surprised they're even being considered. They'd consider fuel almost as quickly as a space shuttle! But they would a very welcome development to aviation technology, and would be something that many generations will marvel at.
