NY - LON in 90 minutes
In July, Airbus was granted a patent for a supersonic airliner that would fly from New York to London in 90 minutes.
Airbus tried to tamp down all the excitement by saying that this was just one of hundreds of concept patents filed every year.
Last year, Lockheed Martin announced it was working with NASA on a supersonic airliner that would fly from New York to LA in 2.5 hours.
Now, there's the Skreemr -- which looks downright sexy, especially to an aviation enthusiast or engineer.
But if you're among last year's 3.3 billion airline passengers, this is kind of meaningless, at least for now.
