Why have airline travel times not decreased over the decades?
In: 42
Because planes have been going close to the speed of sound for a long time, and going any faster would require a much more expensive plane with less space for passengers and spending more time in maintenence and inspection while consuming much more fuel. That cost simply isn’t worth it. The Concorde was meant to be a supersonic airliner, but it failed due to being so expensive and not much more capable than a normal plane.
