'Concorde' re-imagined

CNN is reporting that supersonic air travel may be making a comeback.

It's been decades since the Concorde took its maiden flight, and almost 10 years since it was permanently grounded following a deadly crash in Paris, France which killed more than 100 people.

Aeronautical engineers are designing the next generation aircraft to have a simpler mode of operation and quieter, (shaped) sonic boom.
