well making another modern and fuel efficient SST after 30 years of Concorde operations doesent seem like a downfal in tech. to me.

SC wasn’t an SST, my point was that they bombed on the concept when they needed something to more directly compete with the A380 on the market.

Also, if the market will be there in 10-15 years, then it would be in Boeing’s (or whoevers) best interest to get moving now, in order to have an aircraft ready when the market is there. Playing catch-up hasn’t done anything for Boeing lately.

true…..but a economicaly viable SST from Boeing can really make the A380 down…but then thats just a thought. And agreed on the point also that a SST must be out in 10-15 years, otherwise it will be seen as a downfal in aviation technology if they keep making things like the A380.

I attend a forum where this thread has reached over 8000 posts.:p

SOC….thanx for bringing this up!:D

Yes there will be another SST in future…i mean there has to be. Again now for billionth time from me speed is the future, NOT size! . And IMO Boeing should do it, as Airbus is stuck with the A380 project and current orders will not break-even the project so no way in next 10 years Airbus can think of making a SST. Boeing on the other hand should come out of the dumps and stop acting like morons, which they are doing these days, first take out an aircraft to increase there profitability and have a SST in the drawing board for near future. Agreed there is no market at the moment but there definately will be in next 10-15 years.

Yes agreed with SOC that the aircraft must be economicaly viable, less on fuel etc. (in SST terms).

Also SOC i dont think Boeings SC was much of a SST, it was just marginaly faster.

yup…too bad the Avanti was not a succes story.

although im still not keen on that golden on front fuselauge somehow.

ah yes i was frgettin the name Bravia!:)
