Definitely! I remember seeing an old picture of a physical three dimensional plot about theoretical airliner efficiency. X axis was speed, Y axis was something else and Z axis was efficiency. I think it was made of wooden shapes. There were two local maxima there, one subsonic and one supersonic. Probably it was related to the US SST project.

Can't find the picture anymore...
