Such a step forward could reduce transcontinental journey times by almost two hours.

Ahh those transcontinental flights nobody can really afford. Fun.

Its not meant for the commoners.

But just imagine, as you replace your windows for the 4th time that month, you gaze off into the distance and see another majestic bird cruising over the horizon. You let your mind wonder, imagining what it must be like for those elites, saving a whole 2 hours. That 2 hours of pure luxury and decadence. You can only dream of one day getting to take part. Its so moving, you feel compelled to stand at attention, and salute the gilded missile, a tear rolling down your face...

BOOM, SMASH.

Better go get a new panel of glass.
