The Sonic Cruiser
Trying to get away from the current QF debate. Thought I might try this:
About 18 months ago I read that the "break-even" cost for the A380 for Airbus was around 650 hulls. To my knowledge, slightly less than 200 have sold (no expert here).
No sure what this has done to Airbuses bottom line - will have to dig up the latest annual report. It may be a white elephant or a very long term investment.
Is the world ready for the sonic cruiser OR is a plane with the range for any city on the planet the next step forward?
I think 2030 would prob be reasonable for the sonic cruiser if it was given the go ahead today?
