I miss the Gulfstream whisper! They had Sonic Whisper, Quiet Spike, and all that fun stuff about a decade ago. Nearly 3 decades ago they and Sukhoi were working on an SSBJ back when the Concorde was all the rage amongst the wealthy. The S-21 and X-54 projects were promising.

As fuel costs increase it will be interesting to see how many manufacturers continue to pursue these faster SSBJ aircraft.
