Supersonic passenger flight: feasible but commercially unviable
Original: The supersonic fantasy: technically feasible, commercially unviable
Analysts are revisiting whether supersonic passenger aircraft make sense, concluding the technology is achievable but the business case is not. High fuel burn, steep operating costs and a small premium market have historically doomed projects like Concorde, and the same economics weigh on current efforts such as Boom Supersonic's Overture. Aviation commentators agree physics is not the barrier; profitability is.
Why now: Ongoing debate over whether new supersonic airliner projects can ever turn a profit
