In reply to the discussion: United Airlines Wants to Bring Back Supersonic Air Travel [View all]DetroitLegalBeagle

I know jet engine tech has advanced fairly far from the Concorde's 1960's era tech. Would be great if supersonic air travel made a comeback. I hate flying overseas due to how long the flights take. Paying for first class like Delta One is worth it if the flight is 12-14hours, like when I go to Japan. I would gladly move back to main cabin seating if the flight times are cut in half or more.
