Not only that, but the methods, processes, materials, and overall technology has evolved so dramatically in the last 40 years that anything they did on Concorde would be of minimal value today.

Gouli - it's unlikely they'd base such an aircraft on titanium - there are new synthetic materials that would be more suitable.

It won't happen quickly - when you get right down to it commercial aircraft today still trace their roots to the 707, but take a look at what a state of the air flying machine looked like in 1918, and then then tell me what aircraft will look like in another 50 years
