Interesting. However, 10 planes at 2 bill. That certainly doesn't add up. A new Supersonic plane for 200 mil. Ummmmm, ill take as many as they can provide at that price. Also i think the technology is still missing 35% before they can cancel the sonic boom, but i may be wrong on that.

Unless you rewrite the laws of physics you can't get rid of the sonic boom it's a fundamental law just like gravity and thermodynamics

Yes that's true, but there have been developments in NOSE shape to reduce the affect.
