QSST

I have posted previously that explains my hatred for flying. I am getting better at cope with this phobia but still no where near have it habitualized.

Now add in the factor that this QSST (Quiet SuperSonic Transportation) is being explored and my fear is heightened ever so more.

True I would no longer need to be in the air for long periods of time, but add in the fact that I am moving around 1200 mph and leaving my screams far behind unable to hear from the sonic boom. The parts are all brand new and the design is innovated but not proven through vigorous tests.

May it is just me but this plane makes me want to stay in a car more. It does serve a purpose allowing people to travel half way around the world in single digit hours.

This plane is years away from production, and will not be used for the masses due to its 80 million dollar price tage and limited capacity of 12.

Great thought, will help others not for Anthony.
