Russia has an understanding of how to make a supersonic passenger aircraft, but the liner will be expensive to operate, and there is no demand for it today. This was stated by the head of the Rostec State Corporation, Sergey Chemezov.
He explained that the liner would be very expensive due to the design features, in particular - the engines.
We know how to make it, we have everything for this. The question is whether it is advisable to create such a machine. It also has an extremely high operating cost.
