"The S-512 supersonic jet from Spike Aerospace will be the world's fastest aeroplane" - WTF????? I suppose for this author it was just too hard to write "commercial airliner" - "aeroplane" was all she managed...

It won't even be able to claim the moniker of world fastest commercial airliner, as it's top speed is only Mach 1.8, whilst concorde was Mach 2. It doesn't hold anywhere near as many pax as concorde.
Expect this to remain the play thing of the rich and famous, and don't be holding ones breath for any trickle down affects into commercial aviation as we know it.
