Apologies to the purists.
From what I have read of Concorde development and the Olympus, the US never managed to get an engine/aircraft to fly in "supercruise" - Mach2 without reheat. One of the reasons they didn't proceed with an SST. Reading about the XB-70 it seems it did sustain Mach3. Can anyone throw any light on the subject?
A, literally, fantastic aeroplane design, but did Gerry Anderson design it or use it as the model for his SSTs in Thunderbirds?
