Resisting technological change is not different than fighting the tides of the ocean. There have been Luddites throughout history, but other than the Concorde airplane, I am at a loss to cite an example where we have rejected technological innovation.

U.S. start-up Boom is convinced it can bring a 21st century supersonic airliner to market by 2030, shrinking the time it takes to cross oceans. Former British Airways Concorde chief pilot Mike Bannister and Boom founder and CEO Blake Scholl shared their insights on how the Overture aircraft will move the technology forward, with new engines and a modern flight deck.
Concorde showed supersonic flight was possible. Soon, Overture will make faster flight routine. HereтАЩs a look at Boom's progress toward realizing supersonic flightтАУin two minutes.
HereтАЩs one from the vaultтАж Hard to believe it, but itтАЩs been twenty years since the Concorde SST (SuperSonic Transport) was permanently retired. It was a remarkable machine that plied the transatlantic trade at twice the speed of sound, the tooth-jarring sonic boom footprint limited to over-water flight. But the real promise of supersonic travel тАФ Los Angeles to New York in a little over two hours, for example тАФ in has never been practical due to that noise footprint. Until now. Meet the ingeniously designed OVERTURE with its sonic THUMP, manufactured by Boom Technology of Denver, Colorado.

Hydrogen filled dirigibles?

Cool. The Concorde lives on to fly another day.
Concorde was great , saw it first in 1974 at degaille airport in France first flight on it was 1986 best flight ever . About time they fly again
