December 18, 20178 yr Author Really? I can access the entire article and I'm not a subscriber. Maybe because I'm outside the USA? Weird.

December 18, 20178 yr Awesome, is that a 3 holer. The B727 could nearly fly at Mach 1. (now that brings back good memories)

December 18, 20178 yr Commercial Member I was able to view it using an incognito browser window. I'm not impressed, for the same reason as the author. Near the end is a great question: "Since Lockheed Martin has traditionally shied away from civil markets, Aboulafia said the question is, will it “actually come through with the large pile of cash needed to bring [the jet] to market?” Companies talk about "partnerships" all the time. Every 18-24 months there seems to be an announcement like this regarding investigating a supersonic airliner or bizjet. And until I see a company committing a nine figure sum to engineering or production, it's all just talk. Cheers! Luke Kolin I make simFDR, the most advanced flight data recorder for FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane.
December 18, 20178 yr Always tantalising to see a new one. It's a tight race to see who makes it to market ... last: The Flying Car The Supersonic Bizjet There are others, but these two rotate into view almost on an annual basis. It's gone a little quiet on the "Space Tourism" front too, I thought?
December 19, 20178 yr So will this be available on P3D v4.2? Come on LM, make this happen! Brian Laird Too tall to fly for real, so I sim instead i7 6700K | EVGA GTX1070 (8GB VRAM) | 16 GB DDR4 RAM | Asus Z170-A MoBo | HTC Vive | Saitek x52 Pro, Multi-panel and instrument panels Prepar3d v4 | Have but don't fly: FSX, FSW, XP11, FS2 (retired now that P3DV4 is out)
