Supersonic Jet Versus 747 Flight Specs Compared
The supersonic passenger jet would reach Mach 2.5 about 1850 mph with a 65,000 foot cruising altitude and run about 4 hours 20 minutes from Los Angeles to Tokyo while costing $250 million to build and charging 10 to 15 percent more than standard overseas flights. The 747 would cruise at 600 mph, require about 10 hours to Tokyo and 14 hours to Australia, fly at 35,000 to 40,000 feet, cost $125 million to build, and commonly price Los Angeles to Tokyo around $900 for a typical round trip.
