Why have airline travel times not decreased over the decades?
In: 42
Supersonic travel typically requires a far higher fuel consumption per passenger-mile traveled, and supersonic aircraft designs tend to be especially inefficient when not traveling supersonic, which is a problem given that many governments don’t want supersonic travel above populated land due to noise concerns.
As such there’s little demand for supersonic passenger travel, and only one company even trying to make a modern supersonic jet possible.
