A guy at Langley AFB invented a supersonic propeller aircraft in the 1970's. Giants back then.

Why was the Concorde retired in 2003 despite having a good operational history barring the 2000 crash? https://www.quora.com/Why-was-the-Concorde-retired-in-2003-despite-having-a-good-operational-history-barring-the-2000-crash …pic.twitter.com/HDMlvl5Gnf
