After a moment of reminiscing, Big Shot woke up from the memories of the years more than a decade ago and cracked a joke at Lin Ju.
"Then why don't you just build one yourself? Concorde was at Mach 2, but the XW-9 can fly at Mach 3."
But as soon as he said it, he regretted it, as Androff's comment last year to the higher-ups about developing a super transport plane just to transport rockets surfaced in his mind.
Sure enough, Lin Ju took the joke seriously and began to ponder its feasibility because New Yuan seemed to actually have the capability?
A standard business jet only needs to carry a dozen people. A takeoff weight of 30 to 40 tons is sufficient, equivalent to the mass of a third-generation heavy fighter jet. Two XW-9 engines could definitely provide enough thrust for supersonic cruise, and it didn't even require maneuverability... Hmm? Seems feasible?
