Why is commercial air travel still the same speed it was 60 years ago? And will it ever change?
In: Technology
It did get faster, we had the Concorde, which was super sonic and heinously expensive to operate.
That’s really what it is. We’ve optimized aircraft from a cost vs speed perspective. Can we go faster? Hell yea. Is it cost effective or affordable? Not really.
