Horses for Courses

Henry Ford once said if he had asked the people what they wanted they'd have asked for faster horses.
Now that Concorde does not fly anymore, the people are asking for supersonic craft that can carry twice as many passengers as Concorde, fly twice as fast (London to Washington DC in half an hour), and no noise , without the sonic boom that restricted Concorde to TransAtlantic flights and no TransPacific travel.

By 2011 we'd see some of the results flight tested in this field.
