The Anglo-French Concorde and Russia’s Tupolev Tu-144 are the only two supersonic civil transports to have entered service—the Concorde from 1976 to 2003 and the Tu-144 from 1977 to 1978. Since the 1960s, there have been several high-speed projects and research initiatives in the U.S., but so far none have come to fruition. They have all been dutifully covered by Aviation Week, as you’ll see in the following slides. Don’t miss our accompanying Check 6 podcast, where Aviation Week Editors Graham Warwick and Guy Norris discuss NASA’s recent contract awards to Boeing to study technology for high-speed airliners flying faster than Mach 2—and the one supersonic project that is still pushing forward, Boom Supersonic.
