The market says people prefer the cheap ticket over the fast plane

With volume would the price not go down? If you accelerate at altitude is the boom still an issue for someone on the ground? Aeronautics is certainly out of my wheelhouse.

You cannot get voluminous airframes from an aircraft designed above the speed of sound. Also the energy and maintenance cost still is prohibitive.

The only possibility is a business jet or military purposes

Poor people shouldn’t be flying anyway. Air travel now is no different than riding a Continental Trailways bus with the urine and shit sloshing around all day behind you.

Paying an extra $1,000 to save an hour is only of interest to people whose time is worth $1,000/hr.
