Well, if buzz words could get a project off the ground, this one would be flying long before 2021.
Victor Engel, you hit it right on the money, this is pure fantasy, something concocted after sniffing some strong stuff. As for the price, a mere $ 80 million???. A top of the line Gulfstream or Bombardier Global jets cost right now around $ 55 millo each in 2011 dollars and cruise at Mach .85. Extrapolate this a bit and the SSBJ might cost well over $ 500 million. Any takers besides the oil rich sheiks.
This project is very pie in the sky, but it has some UK government funding.
Sorry for the addendum , it is so not only for Aviation , BUT for every aspect of human growth ! It is a universal truth . That is why the Universe ever so dynamic and so changing .
I will be around! I will probably even fly one! not to put out your camp fire or anything....this is the way Aviation goes my friend!
My friend , yes I, you and some others may not be around to witness the Event . And so will be so many others who have a much better right to such happenings , notably Wright Brothers . So , dear Friend why fret ?
