A 2-3 hour reduction in flight time is appealing for approximately everyone who needs to fly.

Reminder that these flights will not be accessible to normal people except for rare circumstances same way concord was effectively an attraction rather than a tool.

Have you done an 8 hour flight in economy? It's absolutely miserable. Noise pollution over the Atlantic affects literally noone.

Yes and if you're talking about economy you will never be able to set foot on a plane like this either. There are proposals to have this over land as well which I am very strongly against to the point of not wanting a company like this to be successful.
