Calculating the potential market for the SST with conservative care, the FAA figured that sonic-boom problems would limit the aircraft to routes over oceans and sparsely populated areas.
The FAA's aim is to support the various supersonic aircraft (SST) currently under development in the U.S., all of which are coming up against overland noise rules that were instrumental in ...

The 2707 was the United States' first try at developing a commercial SST. The aircraft's design had a drooping nose similar to the Concorde's, though it was intended to be much larger and fly much ...
The SST aircraft rapidly accelerated to “V Speed,” the point of no return requiring rotation off the ground at 198 knots (227.8 mph).
While Concorde is the name that springs to mind in the context of supersonic air travel, there were three contenders locked in the battle to build a commercially successful supersonic transport ...
