Supersonic bi-plane for future travel?

[planedriver]

Not quite ready for take-off as the journo claims in the article heading, but neverthess interesting, especially with the possibility of reducing sonic booms over land.

Maybe something for you to think about Nev, if you'd like to come out of retirement?

 

You know what they say, "first in best dressed".

 

Kind Regards

What about a 'Carbon Copy' for those who can remember those days, it would be cheaper.

I don't think we are likely to see supersonic civilian aircraft anytime soon, until they can get an economical propulsion unit.

Aghh! HH you are full of doom and gloom!

 

Looks like Nev might get his Carbon Cub after all, and Guernsey gets the Carbon Copy.

 

Stuffed if i know who's footing the bill though.

 

What did you say your BSB number, etc: was?

Just realistic PD, but I would be happy to be proven wrong!
