Supersonic air travel faces sonic boom hurdle
American Airlines president C R Smith told Little Rock executives that commercial supersonic flight hinges on eliminating the sonic boom. He warned that a coast to coast night flight would wake millions, and predicted planes would fly at 60 000 to 70 000 feet with limited rights over long routes. He doubted 10 year dates and urged focus on pure jet development for shorter ranges. He cited no U S pure jet losses and noted postwar plane improvements and upcoming refinements. Between 1990 and 1935 county cattle doubled and hog numbers rose 60 percent.
