After a two-decade hiatus from commercial supersonic flight, efforts are being made to revive it, yet significant hurdles remain. Investments are flowing in as companies look to reinstate Mach-speed travel, but they confront high operational costs alongside strict noise regulations. The market must also address the technological obstacles inherited from predecessors like Concorde. Business Insider's Daniel Allen outlines the difficulties faced in navigating these challenges and hints at a complicated road ahead for the future of supersonic aviation.
Bringing back supersonic travel poses significant challenges, including high operational costs, stringent noise regulations, and unresolved technological hurdles that have persisted since the Concorde's retirement.
