Where'd you see that? All I saw was .95 if sped up off cruise.

He's saying the comparison to the Concorde is misplaced conssidering that plane's defining quality.

Well, according to the story and their PR, max speed is mach.925 so I guess it would be that but who in Sam Hill would want to make that run?

And I think you question should be "How long would it take" to fly that route.

I am glad I am retired now as it looks like the sidestick will be the thing of the future. I just don't see it for a lifetime of stick & rudder and will probably be a little difficult for older pilots.

Wonder if they included stick shakers and linked flight controls to avoid the same confusion that occurred with AFR447.

Nevermind - those side sticks are for display information selection.

/me inserts foot (fingers?) into mouth.
