@tiadaid They did believe that at the time. Rapid progress had been made in the decade of the sixties. From 1959 to 1969 they saw air travel change from piston engine aircraft ( Connies, DC-6s and DC-7s ) to wide-bodied jets (B747s, L1011s and DC-10s). They saw from 1961 to 1969 how the USA went from have rockets that barely got off the ground to landing men on the moon. The sky was the limit and faster was the order of the day. Back then that was their reality. It didn't work out.

Remember the supposed "SST" from 2001? Orion III....Kinda resembled a mix between the B-2707 and the L-2000.

Of course supersonic air travel was never given a chance thanks to the hysterics of the know nothing NIMBY crowd about noise and sonic booms and exagerated claims that the engines of supersonic planes would produce excess amounts of nitrous oxide ripping holes in the ozone layer. The fact was that the jet engines on planes like the Concorde didn't produce any more nitrous oxide then most of the other jet aircraft of the era. But then again SSTs were pigs on fuel too.
