@bscholl I disagree. The economics of supersonic flight weren't there. The Concorde, Tu-144, and Boeing SST were all backed by governments. Essentially, the governments of the UK and France wrote off the development costs of Concorde. Additionally, engine technology wasn't there.
@bscholl Not only *can* you just do things, it’s the only *possible* way to do things.

For 50 years, no one in aerospace was willing to build a supersonic jet. They were all waiting for regulations to change and didn't want to take risk. It turns out that building a supersonic jet is *how* you change the regulations.
This is so true.
