New SST Takeoff Could Take A $1 Billion Ticket
Boeing chairman William M. Allen said reviving the American supersonic transport program would need 500 million to 1 billion dollars and delay production by about a year. He noted Boeing has terminated subcontracts and dispersed much of the SST team while supporting continued SST aims. Lawmakers and contractors warned renewal would be costly, require renegotiated contracts, and shift goals from prototypes to actual production. Public debate centered on cost, practicality, private industry role, and environmental concerns amid broader economic pressures.
