Iâm glad you talked about passenger productivity. Amtrak in the US did a similar study. They were focused on speed and reducing commute time between DC and NYC. What they discovered was that most people didnât care about shaving time off the trip, they cared more about being able to use their time on the train. So Amtrak solved their problem by just including outlets to recharge laptops and free Wi-Fi.

Concorde used to fly over my house when I was a kid. We lived right at the coast of the Bristol Channel, which was the point at which Concorde was allowed to go supersonic. Sometimes they'd go supersonic a bit early. The boom was real. I used to love hearing it because I was amazed by Concorde, but it was loud and sometimes the windows used to shake.

9:40 for anyone who wants examples of this, there are occasions where fighters are cleared for supersonic travel over the continental united states for emergency response and they leave a string of videos of people hearing BANG and flinching, dogs bark, kids cry, mass confusion to be had; all because a Cessna was flying in a restricted airspace around the president

Today - June 3, 2021 - United Airlines announced that they ordered 15 new supersonic jets to be built by American start-up Boom Supersonic, to be completed by the year 2029, pending U.S. government approval. The model is the "Overture", and is expected to be the Concorde's direct successor. Testing will begin in 2025-2026.

I grew up as a TWA brat and got to fly on the Concorde once, in 1983, from London to New York. The passenger experience on the plane was actually very similar to subsonic transatlantic first class. The coolest part of the flight was watching the cabin speedometer approach and then surpass Mach 1. Though landing in New York "earlier" than you left London was a little weird.

My sister's boss used to fly Concorde from London to New York all the time. He loved that he could fly from London, land in New York, do what he needed to do there, then fly back to London the same day. I suppose he also had the benefit of flying before security measures tagged a few extra hours onto door-to-door airline travel.
