  1. Re:Big deal... on X43-A on to Mach 10 · · Score: 1
    Too bad we will never see this in a commercial airplane.

    1947 - 1st supersonic jet flight

    1976 - 1st commercial Concorde flight

    It took 29 years for the supersonic jet to make it into the commercial market and it ultimatley failed because of the costs of maintenance/operation.

    Unless airlines stop caring about the bottom line and maximizing profits, almost all of us will never have a chance to experience flying at mach 10.
