TV news show mentioned JAXA's Re-Boot (low sonic boom SST) project[1] this morning.
Wondered if there had been significant progress, only to find that JAXA had released a bunch of concept images[2]🙄.
Meanwhile news show announcer excitedly touted a one-day return trip from Tokyo to Singapore becoming possible on the imaginary jet. Slow news day?🤷‍♂️
