...these dangers don't scare passengers away, there may be enough other annoyances so that SSTs will become commercial flops. The zooming acceleration will be too fast for the standard passenger's taste, Shurcliffe says, and the peep-hole windows will make for an unpicturesque flight. The speed advantage could conceivably overcome these annoyances, but Shurcliffe suggests a more compelling limitation. Since the needle-shaped SSTs will hold fewer passengers but cost more to run than conventional jumbo jets, fares will be much higher for SST trips. And so, Shurcliffe suggests, airlines that had stocked up on fleets of SSTs...
