Normally with a Poll, you're given a choice of answers, not questions.

Anyway, short answer: Concorde will not return. Will there ever be another supersonic service? Unlikely. It's far too uneconomical with current technology, and the trend seems to be for bigger planes with more economical engines.

The problem with such a poll is that it's possible for someone to want to relpy 'yes' to all questions but the way it's phrased prevents them to. You can only select one option.

It would cost upward of 20million to get just one airframe running,put with that the cost of fuel,line maintenance parts= no.

Unless an oil rich arab state want one,i heard that last year.

would you fly on it?

I was in one at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Very small, cabin wise. Not sure I'd like to fly in one. Beautiful all the same.

I know there was only 1 crash in 100,000 flights but statistically you are 100 time more likely to have a bad day in a Concorde than an Airbus 320

No thanks

With the comonality of the fly by wire of the airbus i would put all their a/c in the same risk group,319/20/21/30/40/80.

I would trust the concorde first,the amount of faults airbus engineers dont understand about their own product is odd.
