Q fr @gmnewlook I'm sure you have inspired a lot of people to pursue a career in aviation. I'm curious, do you think that supersonic commercial flights will ever come back one day? A: Fuel costs too much

It will one day. Engines are always improving.

It’s not just the engine technology. It’s the aerodynamics. The plane has to have enough seats to absorb the cost. Hard to go that big and still keep drag down.

Sub-orbital flight is a possibility. It would use less fuel than any other way to travel.

I think it'll come back just for the uber rich via private jets.
