Boeing reveals "Hypersonic Flight Concept"
Chicago - Flying five times faster than the sound speed might sound like a distant future story, but according to Boeing, the hypersonic flight can be a reality in twenty to thirty years.

And gee whiz, look - it has windows !
It'll take longer to check in. Go thru security, then customs on the other end than the length of the flight!
I’m surprised no one has commented on how to prevent the sonic boom that’s associated with flying supersonically. These ships can’t just be made to cross the oceans. Someone’s going to want to have transcontinental transport options available for same day business travel.
Wonder if they will give Super Senior (100+) a discount?
