But now Airbus has recently made a patent for something shocking. Concorde 2. This new aircraft, which will go more than 4 times the speed of sound, and a whopping cruising altitude of 100,000 Feet - will eat the original Concordes lunch.
Well it’s faster because its shorter. But its length when compared to the Concorde’s should mean it would be able to take at least 80 passengers! Sounds like Airbus is behind and has done it again.
Airbus didn’t exist back then. There has always been interest in making a supersonic jet transport system even since the Concorde retired, it’s just that no one has come up with a commercially viable solution.
