      As Concorde is the benchmark, this will be cheaper to develop, perhaps cheaper to produce, and cheaper to operate ("Boom is targeting fuel-burn parity with subsonic business class"). Therefore seats don't need to be priced at much of a premium to be profitable & very attractive.

          Not needing afterburners is cool, but still needs to add value (other than time saved) over the first cabin BA or other.
