Hi Uwe,
dunno, really... but I figure when they started calculating they must have 
shoved the whole concept under the table 
But the SST was an intriging concept anyhow, and the CV-58-9 was a way to 
realize it at the time...
As I seem to recall, there were lotsa people laughing at the 
Concorde-concept: who's willing to fly at M 2.0 at a higher price? Look 
what's happened: after 25 years she's still going strong and recently I read 
BA's going to add another bird to their fleet (is that an old spare one or 
one taken from Air France's fleet?).
