Maybe you can tell us why america or any other country hasn't

Why would anyone want a replacement for something that ran at a
loss?

To make it profitable. Russia tried and the USA tried.

And finally realised the concept was flawed.

The concept wasn't flawed

Corse it was when it could only fly supersonic over water.

and cars can only travel at the limits set in each country on land they
can't even travel over water without help.


it worked as a passenger airliner for 27 years.

On just the one route for most of that time.

So yuo;re sayig n that the 100 sold all travled the same route, that must
have been some demand for that service.

Only 20 were ever built. of those only 14 went into passenger service.

Partly because of the price of fuel and you do remmber the problems with fuel in the early 70s. It didnlt mean the technology was a failure.
