Is there any supersonic or hypersonic airplane that will replace the Concorde SST? i.e.Mach 25 Waverider ?

Question

Why is Mike Bannister, who also happens to be a 22nd-degree Free Mason, putting his John Hancock on pretty much all of the Concorde memorabilia, What ever happened to Andy Mills or Adrian Thomas, and all the remaining former Concorde Pilots as well as flight attendants? Something seems tremendously strange about the whole entire Concorde Program, for example, the primary reason as to why the Concorde had to be retired is because way to much money was spent on Wine and Champagne. It's like it was engineered from it's inception to have an "expiration date". The engines should have been upgraded. Heck the entire fleet of concordes rather than being permanently placed inside of museums should have been replaced with a totally reworked state-of-the-art modern fleet of SSTs'. Just take a look at the B-2 bomber and SR-71 Blackbird and Aurora for inspiration and one can easily envision in their minds an idea of The Next Generation Concorde SST. The current Concorde fleet was great up to a certain point in time such as 1985, then it should have gotten reworked and re-engineered for the new age. It's quite sad that this very important evolutionary phase never came into fruition. If they had to retire an airplane it should certainly have been the 747 NOT the Concorde. I think that some very sinister and evil forces were at work because that ugly ***** Maya Angelou was opining way to much in the Concorde Documentary and I could read right through all of that bull ****.

Answer 2

The answer is ultimately relatively simple. By the time any of the operators determined a way to operate it profitably, the world decided it could no longer afford Concorde, especially in the post-9/11 demand slump.

And with the prospective market never being large enough to justify the investment required to update Concorde or develop a successor, Concorde became strictly a "prestige" proposition that neither British Airways nor Air France could justify.

Except perhaps to those living in a cave these past 18 months, that the world can no longer afford its most basic essentials, let alone so-called prestige projects should come as little surprise, as unfortunate as it may be. The closest thing to Concorde remaining anywhere near flight status is one of the last remaining Soviet/Russian Tu-144D.

Answer 3

You obviously know nothing about aircraft.
The Concorde only carried 100 people, yet it has a sfc of over 2, which means it uses 4 times the fuel as the 747.
There are only a few routes available for supersonic aircraft, and therefore its a losing proposition.
