No SSBJ, No Way, Mach 0.87 is Fast Enough, Says Bombardier

"No" was the succinct answer from Bombardier Aerospace president Mike Graff when a reporter asked him whether Bombardier would be following Dassault and Gulfstream in announcing plans for a supersonic business jet. "There are still a lot of issues related to a supersonic aircraft," added John Holding, Bombardier engineering and product development VP. The company's new Continental, says Holding, "is more realistic and relevant to where the aviation world is going."
