"I don't think price was the problem, it was scale."

And it was a scale problem because the other little problems:

1-Price(>6000USD for London-NY USD is high enough for me)

2-Contamination(look at the tail of the one taking of in the article, an environmental hazard )

3-Noise

4-Poor performance, breaking the sound barrier means increment exponentially the resistance. Fuel is not "free" anymore as it was.

5-With Internet an small jet planes, not needed anymore.
