Re:Boom Supersonic raises $33M to build the fastest airplane...

Sure, a 400 passenger supersonic jet that only used twice as much fuel per flight but operated twice as many flights per day with comparable annual capital and maintenance costs could sell tickets at similar prices to coach class in a subsonic jet (assuming no barriers to operation on the same range of routes)
But I'd imagine there's a reason that jet doesn't exist even in the realms of the most hyperbole-filled press releases of supersonic jet ventures...
That said, the concord was much closer to a prototype than what economical supersonic aircraft will look like. But, nobody is trying to build thousands of 400 passenger supersonic aircraft which makes your comparison more realistic.
