I have a question, why don't passanger airplanes fly faster? What is it that makes fast (mach +) uneconomical? It seems all the new planes are running at .85 Mach? Are there other reasons for this, like air traffic control, environment, expense, politics revenue streams for airlines, safety? Thanks!
