Boeing's hypersonic plane to be also a hyper polluter
Montreal - New supersonic passenger planes designed by Boeing and other manufacturers offer the chance to connect continents faster than ever. However, these future aircraft at supersonic and hypersonic speeds could also affect the environment at a much higher rate compared to today's air transport vehicles.

Note the second paragraph...I submit for your consideration that "Boom" is not the ideal name for a company designing a supersonic aircraft :-)
I think it's cool as heck and should go ahead. Technology will advance. We would have never had a 707 if I follow the thoughts on here.
I'll provide a non-political question, as I've grown weary of those posters.
Since the Concorde cruised at FL550-600 as supersonic, what would this theoretical Boeing Hypersonic machine cruise at, SR-71 ceilings?

Good question. It would make sense that the hypersonic aircraft could reach cruising altitude at the outer reaches of our atmosphere. SR 71 cruised at around FL 800
It’s still only a concept and engine technology has advanced significantly since the 1970’s.
40's ;)
I am downvoted due to me knowing that jet engines have come a long way since they were first developed in the 40s? Get real people. smh
