Cessna also once pointed out that the Citation X is the fastest aircraft
ever built without government money.



Indeed, the aircraft design team was awarded the Collier Trophy for
their work.

It only illustrates my earlier point. The engineering to design &
build a supersonic commercial airliner is entirely possible. What
is preventing it are the bean counters!


Change that to read "customers", instead of "bean counters".

Your company spends money with no thought of return, I suppose? They
won't be moving at .92 for long if that is the case.
