      I’m so so sorry but a new supersonic passenger plane is being developed.

      It is funded by Saudi Aramco, to extend the demand for fossil fuels 😭

        Eh, fuel can be synthesized, likely better than kero for this use case, and will eventually become cheaper as renewables gain dominance. Progressing civilian aviation is a value that endures (although I would argue for it’s reduction during the climate crisis).
