Apart from Concorde does anyone know which was the fastest of the sub sonic passenger Jets. I seem to remember reading that the Convair CV990 was up there and possibly the VC10. Am I right.
The latest Gulfstream bizjet (sorry, forgot the model number) can reach Mach 0.995 when running flat-out. But does it count as a "passenger jet" if it's so tiny?
