Ask an Explainer
Q:
Why travel at the speed of sound when it's so inefficient (like the Concorde)?
A:
Although traveling at the speed of sound may be inefficient in terms of cost, sometimes people are willing to pay a premium to get to their destination faster. People have always looked for ways to perform tasks, such as traveling, quicker. Therefore, if it is possible to fly faster than the speed of sound, some people would likely be willing to pay more to do so.
