Classic Aviation Debate

That was after the government deemed it unnecessary tho

They were flying for NASA for research

Plus the costs were a lot
The paint in front of the engines peeled off every flight going Mach 3+

After the crash they just didn’t find it cost effective to continue production

No, it was for NASA at that time

It was joint with NASA only to measure the sonic boom affect but the plane was built for military purposes
