      It tries to lessen the supersonic boom so that, unlike Concorde, you can fly Mach 1+ over populated areas.

      For civil aviation use, or most likely for a multi billionaire private jet rather than an airliner.

          The Internet also made Concorde redundant. We’re never going to travel faster than TCP packets on a zoom call.

          Rich assholes who want a vacation with less travel time are gonna love these though.
