Can you all imagine going on a 'longhaul' flight in F, and the whole experience being like CE from LHR to AMS where the meal service has to be compressed into about 15 minutes?
I am 35, well nearly 35 anyway.
A prototype will be ready around 2020. It will then be in service from about 2050. We know that aircraft manufactures take longer than they say to build a plane. So I will be 80 by the time BA 'might' get their hands on this plane. I dont know if I will see 80 & if I do maybe a boring 747 would be better for me. An couple of extra hours wont hurt.
I missed concorde by a couple of years and will miss this plane as well. Something for the children to enjoy I suppose.
From the video it does look as beautiful as Concorde.
