That's cool... I always like the Concorde and got to see it at Oshkosh EAA; but isn't there a private company already flying or test flying a quiet SST?

Or, maybe not?

Crazy long nose, I wonder what the intended use will be, don't look like many could fit in It?

Just a test bed for future larger models ? The Concord had a cruising speed over 1,300 MPH this is only 925 MPH ?

Yeah, but that's 925 without a sonic boom... so it can fly over the U.S. at supersonic speeds?
