Asupersonic transport(SST) is aciviliansupersonic aircraftdesigned to transport passengers at speeds greater than thespeed of sound. To date, the only SSTs to see regular service have beenConcordeand theTupolev Tu-144. The last passenger flight of the Tu-144 was in June 1978 and it was last flown in 1999 byNASA. Concorde\'s last commercial flight was in October 2003, with a November 26, 2003ferry flightbeing its last airborne operation. Following the permanent cessation of flying by Concorde, there are no remaining SSTs in commercial service. Several companies have each proposed asupersonic business jet, which may bring supersonic transport back again.Supersonic airliners have been the objects of numerous recent and ongoing design studies. Drawbacks and design challenges are excessive noise generation (at takeoff and due tosonic boomsduring flight), high development costs, expensive construction materials, great weight, and an increased cost per seat over subsonic airliners. Despite these challenges, Concorde was claimed to operate profitably,although that was due to write off of all development and construction costs plus the willingness of passengers to pay high fares.[citation needed]In 2016, NASA announced it had signed a contract for the design of a modernlow-noise SSTprototype.The designing team is led byLockheed Martin Aeronautics.In total, 20 Concordes were built: two prototypes, two development aircraft and 16 production aircraft. Of the sixteen production aircraft, two did not enter commercial service and eight remained in service as of April 2003. All but two of these aircraft are preserved; the two that are not are F-BVFD (cn 211), parked as a spare-parts source in 1982 and scrapped in 1994, and F-BTSC (cn 203), whichcrashedoutside Paris on July 25, 2000..
