I'm not sure how much good that does for jobs, but if the technology trickles down to coach and not just business class, it would be a nice improvement to standard of living.

Color me skeptical.  Commercial aviation is not exactly a booming business these days, even after all of the consolidations, and fuel costs are both the major expense and directly connected to top speeds.  Passenger capacity seems a little low, too, no?

I love reading techblogs, but there are so many pitfalls between lab/prototype/startup/actually viable business that I am always, as I said, skeptical.
