Well, apparently this project is getting an economic boost from NC LOLThe other issue with the Concord was, as I understand it, that it never would have been...or could have been.... a viable business venture without the level of government subsidy it got from France and England. Without that it was a no go in terms of ROI. If the project had relied on private or corporate capital alone it never would have gotten past the initial concept. And since governments run things sooooo well..............the end was predictable.
I'm just wondering with the seating capacity, the price of fuel, the sonic boom legal issue, exactly why this seems like a viable option to invest state money in for economic growth?
When I read the newspaper article, I was just scratching my head why this is such a great idea? I get it, go faster. I get the fact that there are some long flights, but I'm also just happy to get there in a day LOL
