Image sourceBoeing HSCT (High-Speed ??Civil Transport) is a supersonic passenger aircraft concept developed by Boeing in cooperation with NASA in the early 1990s. The purpose is to create the next generation of supersonic commercial airliner that can replace Concorde.
Speed ??target: Mach 2.4-2.5
Range: Approximately 8,000–9,000 km
Passenger capacity: 250-300 people
Fuselage length: about 100 meters
Airfoil design: delta wing or compound forward swept wing (depending on the version)
Engine: Low noise, high efficiency variable cycle supersonic engine is envisioned

?

Design features:
• Extremely long fuselage and slim nose design to reduce supersonic drag
• Envision using composite materials to reduce weight and thermal expansion issues
• Some proposed versions even eliminated cockpit windows and used electronic display systems instead
• To reduce the impact of sonic booms on the ground, research on the shape of a "low-boom fuselage"

?

Termination reason:
• High R&D costs and unclear economic benefits
• Technical challenges (e.g. sonic boom, noise, emissions) have yet to be overcome
• Concorde commercial failure affects subsequent investment willingness
• The project was officially terminated in 1999

    I remember this concept being proposed around the same time as the New Large Airplane program was planned. =D
