I don't think that either of these companies have the technology to make
it happen. They could of course make a supersonic vehicle, but could not
meet the cost and noise restraints. I do think that they feel that there
is a market if they could do it.
New materials, new engines and new ideas are needed, but the market -
guys who want to move up from their Gulfstreams - is definitely there.
