It's actually pretty impressive that with 1960s technology the Concorde's designers came within 30% of what's possible today.

fuel efficiency and sonic booms, though https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_sonic_boom_tests …
-
both execution problems not intrinsic to speed. Grounding to remember that non digital problems can be decades long
-
are turbofans inherently more efficient that turbojets? Are smaller aircraft inherently less efficient?
-
Bigger fans better at lower speed, less at higher speed. Mach 2.2 works with goldilocks fan
-
variable/adaptive engines improve efficiency at wide range of speeds. But still 'in the lab', not MVP

For any sakes, fifty years later you'd hope so! How many % has your computer improved in efficiency in that time?
